Following my research about studio/still life photography, I wanted to create my own shots using inspiration from other photographers. This includes recreating their styles and shot types, whilst still incorporating my own ideas.
For my shoot, I decided I wanted to use makeup creatively to make my images subtle, yet interesting.
Light research
Understanding light's effect on makeup and various shades and pigments is important. The following are among the basic rules of light: nothing has color until light is reflected from it; an object appears black when all of the light is absorbed; an object appears white when all of the light is reflected. If certain rays are absorbed and others are reflected, the reflected rays determine the color.
This is the picture I am going to recreate. I like how the photographer has used shadow and light in this image as well as strong eye makeup.
Although unfortunately i will not be able to use coloured light to make the blue tinted shadow, I will still attempt to create the shadow.

Lighting controls makeup to a high degree. Makeup can lose its effectiveness due to incorrect lighting. Conversely, skillful lighting can greatly aid the art of makeup.

Studio set-up
As I am using a studio to see up my images, I am considering the process of setting up the studio. Firstly I will set-up the lighting of my chosen theme. This will consist of two studio lights either side of my model, pointing at her. I will then use the light meter to get the correct exposure, this is essential. Then for my camera, the canon 1000D, I will select the correct shutter speed, aperture and ISO needed. I will then set up the transmitter and receiver to trigger the flash heads.
Using photoshop
After I have shot my photographs, I will transfer them to the mac and been editing them using photoshop. This will include using a color filter, levels and curves. I will then resize the image to 10x8 ready to be printed and mounted up on foam board.
