Shoot #1 - Sarah Graham

Shoot #1 - Sophie Ewing

Shoot #1 - Tracey Greig

First model to shoot with, will mostly be using natural light for all my shoot #1 models, my goal is to generally do some test shots, but try to get the models to pose slightly , and also will be shooting them with and without make up, so i can see the difference in their appearance, and how they act towards the camera.

I have also picked out the photos i think are the best from about 100 photos that i have taken from each shoot, and show you the before and after photos, as i will be running some through an editing process.

Questionaire for models on self image

To help me get a better understanding of what women think of themselves and the way women are perceived , i had created this small questionnaire with a few questions, and will try and get them to fill it out as much as they can.

SHOOT #1

Full name:
Age:

Do you wear make-up every day?

Why do you wear it?

How does it make you feel when you wear it?

Has beauty advertising influenced yours decisions on the way you look and does it make you want to change yourself even more?



Do you think that in our society today there is a perception of what the “ideal” woman should look like? For example – women getting plastic surgery because they think it will make them perfect.



Should advertising portray real women, instead of the stereotypical slim perfect structured model? And why?

If you could change any part of your body, what would it be?

Definition of the portrait

A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent of is to display the likeness, personality and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with its viewer.
