For my magazine shoot I used my friend Kiera as my model. I chose her because she has the 'look' that I was after for the indie/acoustic genre with her long hair, simple makeup and skinny frame. She's skinny which in the photographs came across as really artist and looked how I wanted it. I chose her outfits, hair styling (I did want to use a heavy plum/dark lipstick to make her ice blue eyes stand out. However Kiera would have had an allergic reaction to the makeup so because of health and safety I decided it wasn't worth it) poses, set, lighting - everything. I did want my male model's T-shirt to be tight fitting however we picked up the wrong T-shirt and it was too late to go back and get the one I wanted.
These photographs have not been edited or changed, the lighting and effects you see are what was captured on the day. Some parts may be slightly cropped out because of the software I used to upload them with, not because I cannot frame my photographs correctly. Anything that looks obscure like it is missing a section is the programmer not myself as a photographer.
There has been no post production work, the photos are of the highest quality possible to take photographs with, however the edited video (sorry about the length of it) means that the HQ of them might not be as good as if I had individually shown them on my blog.
I used a professional studio and a camera worth £2,780 to take my shots, the set and tripod were all at the studio.
This was Kiera's first proper shoot so I had to give a lot of direction. The shoot took roughly 3 hours to do and I took around 700 photographs. The only ones I haven't uploaded are those where she blinked in the shot so her eyes are odd.
