I decided to take my photos in a home environment using natural lighting. I used makeup for props as that is one of the main focuses of Angela Marklew’s work.
Photoshoot 1
In this photoshoot I used a female model to represent femininity. I used props such as mascara, lip gloss, and lipstick to recreate photos in a similar way to Marklew.

These are my best photos ,which I have labelled with a 5 star rating, which I will be editing to improve.
Editing in the style of Angela Marklew
Original photo before editing:
I chose to attempt to recreate this photo of Marklew’s as it has a feminine feel to it due to the use of lipstick as a prop. This is because lipstick is widely associated with women.
I added warmth to the photo as Angela Marklew’s photo has a warm tone to it. I also increased the highlights to make them stand out more in a similar way to her work. By using the dehaze tool the photo turned more softer rather than sharp.
I decided to rotate the photo to make it similar to the angle in Marklew’s photo.
Final photo
To make the colours more pigmented I increased the saturation and to finish I cropped the photo slightly in a similar way to Marklew’s photo. I think it is similar however the models lips are not in the same position as Angela Marklew’s as in my photo there are no teeth visible however in Marklew’s you can see the model’s teeth. I like the way it has turned out as the highlights look sharp and well defined and the shine on the lipstick casing is similar to Marklew’s.
