Evaluating Final Images..

 For submission, we are to show two images from each shoot. These images are to portray a close up shot and a half body shot. The close up will emphasise the makeup and hair, showing the detail in full. The half body will show the complete look, accompanied by the styling and accessories. Narrowing the final images down is always a hard task, especially when lots of different photos have been taken! They also need to look different, for example by showing a different angle. This allows you to see the full outcome of the look and show off skills.

EDITORIAL

These are the two final images I have chosen for my editorial shoot.

EVALUATION
This is definately the stronger tribal image and I love the outcome. When I first began the tribal project, I knew exactly what tribes I wanted to look at: African. After doing thorough research, I just became more and more excited about this idea. It made my editorial idea a lot more exciting for me because the ideas where coming from everywhere! My favourite part of the shoot is the use of jewellery. For me, this was the best way to represent African tribes, along with the head wrap. Its a classic style for many of the tribal women, and something that is an obvious trait. I also love the idea of the scarification being so raw. I chose this idea because I think it shows a little more danger to the image. The jewellery and the head wrap make the image look beautiful and fashionable, suitable for editorial, but then adding the raw scars almos draws the attention to the fact that yes, tribal is beautiful, but it can also be painful. I think my idea for this is shown really well through this shoot.

EVALUATION:
The quality of this image is not something that I hoped for. The lighting is a little too orange, and hasnt quite captured the detail of the makeup like it should. I had trouble in the studio this day with cameras and the lights, which has really put a strain on my final image. However, I couldnt get my model to reschedule. To try and fix the problem, I have tried my best to edit the shots to look more professional and how I intend them to be. Despite the lack in quality of image, I am proud of the outcome of the shoot. The idea of Native African/American has been pulled through really well here. The only critisism I have towards this is that the hair isnt visible. Hair is something that is going to be looked on thoroughly in this shoot, but because of the head piece the hair has been blocked out. I had long fake hair down the sides of the head which were matted and covered in clay. I also matted and covered the main hair in clay.This is something that I will have to reconsider if I were to do the shoot again.
