week 5

This week I experimented with fashionable makeup. Instead of focusing on just clothes I decided to focus on other cool and edgy things such as makeup. Makeup can also make a statement and be very high fashion. I tried to give the audience the feeling that the model is like a bird, fierce, but also delicate. With the other pictures I tried to show a more edgy nature look. This week I focused more on an ethereal look, with a little spunk. I also took a picture of the  actual makeup and decided to post it to show a little bit of the process that the models had to go through. I edited the contrast of the photos in Photoshop to make them bolder and give them a bit of an edge. I would like to thank Stormi Rhodes for her the beautiful makeovers she gave the models.

week 4

This week my photos are about teen fashion. I chose to have men in the shot, to mix it up and have some gender diversity. Teenagers are confusing and mysterious, so I set the photos in black and white. I fixed the photoshop to grayscale and played with the contrast and brightness of the photos. The photo is at the top, because I thought the model imbodied an artist, so I wanted to show the colors of her outfit. The outfit in the first photo has a very teenage feel to it, but pensive like most kids at that age. I wanted to show how we might not notice how stylish teenagers are and how something can be stylish and nice without being really high fashion. Sometimes the simple things can make a statement. I chose to change the pictures to black and white to give them a edgy feeling. Next week I plan on setting up a photoshoot with children, because they to can be stylish.

week 3

This week I took pictures of my model in an enviroment that is the opposite of her outfit. The seting is a messy, junky, and sort of manly place, whereas her outfit is stylish and feminine. I played in photoshop with the contrast, the levels, and the color of the photos. I did this to make the photos more dramatic and interesting.  I lowered the saturation in some of the photos to give them a edgy and mysterious look. In these pictures I tried to take pictures of the model at angles which make her look powerful and strong. The eviroment she is in symbolizes how women can prevail in any circumstance and look beutiful while on the journey.

week 2

This week I changed the setting of my photoshoot and moved it to the outdoors. In these pictures the model is trying to sell one her outdoor like outfit. For example I tried to show emphasis on her boots which is one of the important peice of the outfit. Since her boots are the brand Bearpaw I was inspired to give the photos a very natural northwest look. I went out to the hiking trails by the school to get some of these pictures. This week I also played with photoshop and adjusted the contrast and brightness of the phographs to give them a more edgy look. As the weeks go on I plan on taking phictures of various styles of fashion.This week it was faux country and it was very fun, but very muddy.
