Final 'Studio Lighting' Shoot

Lighting set up gone through in workshop applied

Contact of selected unedited shots from the shoot

I am very pleased with the final outcomes of this shoot as I implemented the background lighting set up I wanted and used the blackboards to get the soft cheekbone definition that I wanted. I feel that the use of the lighting techniques has resulted in the ideas of beauty and representation of beauty of women and their supposed place as objects of desire and appreciation, works of art, has effectively been communicated. The coloured background images show the soft definition of the jawline and cheekbones which highlights the same ideas I explored within my visual research. I was planning to have had another studio lighting portrait shoot but unfortunately the model wasn't available in the time I had allocated in which to do this, however, I feel that even without that other shoot my photographic practice has developed significantly over the course of this project and the resulting final outcomes from this shoot and the last shoot show progression and my noting and application of techniques and ideas from my visual and contextual research.
