FMP - Final shoots - Editiya & Sophie.

Well its finally come to the day which I did not think I would make it too, scared is an understatement as these photoshoots need to go perfect so I can exhibit my finals in a few weeks.
The reason I decided to use one day to get both models in was because I was running out of time with days I could shoot on and also both models have little girls and needed child care, worked out well really!

The only fault from this day was being let down two days before shoot by a MUA, I then tried to find another, they wanted 50pound per hour, which I would of needed for two hours so 100pound and the "MUA" could not even send me a portfilio of work, therefor I would not waste 100pound and not know what to expect. Me and my friend Kirsty did the hair and Makeup on model Sophie, and Editiya decided to do her own makeup as she would prefer this and Kirsty did her hair.

SOPHIE

I really enjoyed this day and I generally think it turned out really well considering I got let down by the MUA, for these two shoots I went to Argos and spent 10.00pound on some PVC blinds to create the lovely shadows on the models faces, I also brought some cans of pop and crisps etc for the models and my assistant Kirsty, which cost me next to nothing, so all in all these two photoshoots cost me around 17.00pound bargain or what.

I shot the photographs of Editiya first as she had to leave early to get back to her daughter, but unfortuantly the makeup and hair and also setting up the studio took around 2 hours we then only had 30 mins to get the images I needed, this was not long enough so I only managed to get some face shots of her. Luckily the images I did get turned out amazing!

I then went on to taking the photographs of Sophie which took around an hour to get every image and pose that I wanted.

For both of the shoots I used the same equipment,  for the blinds I got two tripods out and balanced the blinds on the top, throughout taking the photos of Editiya I learnt that The higher the tripods where with the blinds on the better shadows I gained, I also had to play around with them to make them semi shut etc to actually see the blinds on there faces. I really enjoyed using this as an idea as the blinds really did create beautiful shadows on there faces. I used a snoot behind the blinds to get the sharpest shadows that I could.

for all images I only used 1 light at a time, I wanted to only illuminate the faces mainly, so I switched from the snoot and Honey comb.

What do you think of these shoots? Let me know in the comments if you think I could of changed anything.
