Having previously trained as make up before studying photography, I feel that I know want to use these skills within my shoots, combining this with my interest in fashion. Specifically training in theatrical/media make up, my make up style used to be very Avant-Garde, which is something that would work perfectly with what I am setting out to achieve.
One initial idea I have thought of is to create a close up portrait, looking at the idea of hope as I previously experimented with when shooting dying flowers. (See below).
I want to continue with the ideas I have already shot yet give a the work more of a fashion element. I want to incorporate flowers onto a headband shooting two similar portraits. However, one will represent life and hope while the other will show struggle and loosing hope.
As well as the flowers representing both these feelings through it’s different states, the colours will also play a major part in each image. The portrait showing hope will incorporate pinks and purples whilst the other will be dark reds and black.
Here are two make up designs I have created for the looks below:
