Toolbox 9 was a fashion media class where we had to make a photoshoot with a similar product as the one we created. Since my product is a transparent, see through coat I’ve used a one that I already had. We then had to pick a place in the university campus to shoot in. For this task I have work with Jason and Aubrey. We choose few places in the campus but they best photoshoot came out when we shoot in a fridge.
For this photoshoot, I was inspired by space. I wanted a metallic background, that would look like a spaceship. We first went on the roof, took few photos but I was not satisfied. We then walked around and it’s on the second floor in one of the makeups and hair studio that I found this really big fridge and the result was exactly what I imaged.
I was the model of my own photo, but I was explaining Aubrey and Jason how I wanted them to take the photos, which angle and all. Regarding the styling I styled myself and did my hair and makeup. For the hair I didn’t do much I just tied them and stocked them in my top to give a skirt to give that short aspect. Concerning my makeup, I did something really natural, but I have added big fake lashes for my eye to really come out on photo. For the outfit I was wearing under my coat I choose to go for a high heel boots, white fishnets, white mini skirt, and a blue jacket.
Once having the perfect photo, I had to pick the best one out of around 300 photos. I believe that was most probably the hardest part. I then edited my favorite photos, I choose not to edit them manually, with an app called lightroom. I firstly made the metallic background really brighter and shinier, as well with the boots. I wanted to really keep that spaceship effect, so I choose to really bring up the cold aspect as much as possible by adding a cold blue to the image. On the other hand, I also wanted to keep the warmness of my skin color, so I made the saturation higher.
we had to include our test shoots which I also edited. And we needed to create a look book. Which I did with photos of my favorite shoot and create a nice layout. In order to keep the spaceship universe, my layout mainly darker colors such a black and dark blue
I would say that this media task was one of my favorites, and the outcome is wonderful to me. It was truly what I imaged. I would not change anything of this photo shoot it was truly perfect. The edit, the outfit the make up the spot we shoot in. Jason and Aubrey were very supportive and we really work good together.
