Editorial Photoshoot

My editorial photoshoot consisted of two models. This was actually the first time that I did a photoshoot with more than one model in the frame at one time. It was a bit trickier than shooting with just one person as you need to take a whole other person into consideration to make the image look the best as possible. My this photoshoot, I used Jasmine Collins & Sian Davey:

I wanted to use two people for this shoot as I think it looks more editorial, you tend to see more than one person in editorial magazine images than not. My plan was always to have Sian as a model, but I was supposed to have another model with shoulder length ginger hair and pale skin. However, due to circumstances, my other model could no longer be involved, so I had to pick another model, Jasmine. I've used Jasmine a number of times for other photoshoots. She has amazing skin, and is a model herself, once she steps in front of that camera, she's ready to go! However, like Naomi, Sian hadn't modelled before. Luckily for me, I did has Jasmine there so she helped Sian out and directed her on how to pose. Like Jasmine though, Sian has flawless skin and is amazing to capture of camera. 

Like the advert photoshoot, I wanted to stick to the NARS SS16 collection. This included a slightly strong blush on the cheeks, a subtle eyebrow, and a strong half lid eyeliner. 

Here are the image from the shoot for my editorial looks:

I believe that this is one of the best photoshoots I've ever done. The images came out clear and crisp, the make-up is exactly how I wanted it to come out, and the poses and models really make these images what they are. As the two models didn't know each other, all the first section of images look a bit stiff and cardboard like, however, once we started playing some music, and having a bit of a laugh, everyones nerves calmed a bit and that really reflects in my images shown. 

The background I created for this photoshoot was done using gel lighting. For the first shoot, I used a black background sheet, and placed a light behind my model facing the wall. I used a blue sheet of plastic to create the colour that appears on the background. I love how it turned out because its striking and stands out. I love how it also outlines the models, giving them a glow. The second photoshoot, I used a pink background, still with the blue gel lighting. This made it create a purple colour which is lovely. I wanted to use brighter colours for this shoot because theres more colour used in the makeup compared to the one before. So I believe they correspond well together. 

Overall, I'm so so happy with this outcome of all the pictures from this photoshoot. It was very hard to narrow it down to just pick a few. Although we are meant to only have two images pre category, I have selected three for my editorial because I truly can't chose out of these three.
