'Studio Lighting' 3rd Shoot

Test Shots-

Selected Shots from Shoot-

I was very pleased with the results of this shoot as I feel that firstly the subject's features and aesthetic beauty were far more suitable in relation to achieving the best results from the lighting techniques and also in allowing for the viewer to better appreciate the beauty representation of the individual. The use of a singular light source, influenced by my visual research, was vindicated by the results as an over head lightbox, in the frontal images, achieved the shine and glowing displacement from the subjects highlights whilst also giving some definition to the cheek bones. Although pleased with the lighting, which has suggested the idea of the idealised aesthetically pleasing beauty representation of females and also their placement as works of art to be appreciated by the voyeuristic viewer, I feel that I want to define the cheekbones further and in order to do this I will look at more visual research and also talk with Adam Mead and discuss what I could do technically to achieve this. I feel the make-up used also explored the ideas that I expressed within my visual research. I'd also like to be more experimental with lighting in my subsequent shoot as I feel that although the use of a singular light source, and particularly the soft box, has achieved results which support my research and approach, I want to light the background in a considered manner which will displace similar appropriate suggestions.
