Evaluation of Editorial Shoot

This isn't really going to be a long blog post, just some things I've noticed from this shoot that I will bear in mind for the next time I do it.

Things to improve:

  • Shoot with a 700D or higher. The skin would have looked so much nicer had I stepped out of my comfort zone and shot with a camera that I'm not as used to.
  • When applying eyelashes, be very mindful of the glue. It may dry clear BUT it still picks up camera if there is a blob of glue on the lashes.
  • When doing work with the arms, don't forget to include the make up on the hands. Looking back at these photos I really wished I'd put some of the pigment on her hands and on her fingers. I just didn't want to over do it.
  • Shoot on a colorama that isn't black. I lost her hair in the photos because her hair is dark and the background just absorbed it.
  • Use_a_hair_light. God. I really wish I had done this for this shoot. All the droplets of water would have showed up in her hair so much more. No point dwelling on it though, a note has
    been made for next time.
  • Post production. I NEED to get better at this.
To end on high we'll talk about some things that I felt I had done well
  • My interpretation of the word. I didn't want to go so obvious and I'm glad I stepped away from the initial face charts I did.
  • I'm glad I experimented with the gels. I'm even happier that I chose to not use them in the end. Looking back through my photos you can see the progression and how my idea changes.
  • The make up - I wasn't sure how well it was going to turn out. It looks pretty ace on camera.
  • I was really hot on touching up the lip gloss, being aware of things that needed to be
  • The final images I've chosen. I'm so proud and I can't stop saying that. For someone who didn't know how to use a camera at the beginning of this academic year. I can say that these are my proudest moments.
