Two Fairy Photoshoots.


This Next Photoshoot Was For My Exam Brief At College. The Theme Was Mystery And Imagination. I Decided To Shoot A Dark Fairy Themed Images. I Wanted To Make The Setting And The Styling The Most Important Element In The Shoot. I Used Natural Lighting In This Shoot. I Took These Images In A Woodland Area. Many Things Inspired Me For This Fairy Photoshoot.

I Wanted My Fairy To Look Mysterious So I Gained Inspiration From Make-up Looks That I Saw On Youtube, Especially Michelle Phans Fairy Look. I Then Looked At Koto Bolofo's 'Tinkerbells Forest' Shoot That Was A Fashioned Themed Shoot. Many Of His Images Were Sepia Toned, So I Really Wanted To Respond In That Way Aswell. Here Are My Images From The Photoshoot. These Are My Four Favourite Images From The Shoot That I Have Digitally Edited In Photoshop. I Really Believe That I Have Learnt New Skills In Photoshop From Digitally Editing.




I Then Did Another Photoshoot Of A Flower Fairy But I Used Brighter Colours To Manipulate These Images. These Photoshoots Go Well Together Because Its Two Sides Of A Fairy. One Dark Fairy And A Flower Fairy. I Used Paper Doilies To Create Interesting Eye Make-up Patterns. I Really Like Both Of These Shoots. Here Are My Next Images Using Grace As The Fairy.

Porcelain Doll Photoshoot.


This Photoshoot Was For My Portrait Brief At College. I Decided To Look At Fashion Photography Inspired By Porcelain China Dolls. I Gained Inspiration From Tim Walkers British Vogue Shoot. Tim Walker Is One Of My All Time Favourite Fashion Photographers. His Work Has A Fairytale Quality That I Love! These Are My Favourite Images That I Took On My Shoot. I Used Two Models For This Shoot And I Took These Images Last Year In January So They Are Fairy Old Images. The Make-up Was Done By Lydia Connell, Who Is Also A Model In These Images. She Is Also My Twin Sister. I Really Like How The Makeup Creates A Doll Look. The Setting Was Really Important In These Images Too. I Took These At Grace's House And It Was A Perfect Location To Create The Vintage Doll Look Backdrop. The Props Used Were Another Key Feature For This Photoshoot. The Dolls House Used Was A Main Prop As Well As The Rocking Horse.
