Femininity Mirrors/Makeup/Perfume Photoshoot 2:

In this photoshoot I focused on taking photographs with the femininity outlook and played around with props and item such as e.g. perfume and makeup. My subject experimented with this “girly” outlook and how it can come across as being soft, playful and appear bubbly like. I also looked at perfume and specially female advertisements and how they appeared to look like with the perfume bottle, on some of my photographs these ideologies and experiments can be presented.

The things at work well in the photoshoot was that I knew what I wanted to photograph and how, I knew how I wanted to position the subject in front of the lens with the prop, as well as the subject in front of the mirror and from what angles would look good to appear well in the lens. The vision I had for the photographs was accurately translated I would say.

If I were to change anything in the photoshoot I would add a white background/backdrop to contrast with the individual as most of the photos can appear quite dark. Other than that I would say that the photographs worked well and that I could have increased the ISO so the photographs and in general appeared brighter. Something else that I would have included if I had thought more broader about the photoshoot would have been too included more items that were feminine like and potentially included items that appeared more masculine like and create that diversity between the subject itself in the photographs and the item that they are positioned with or holding.
