After finally finding the right model this week I was producing a cover and 3 page editorial for my magazine omanako.
I found my model Milly through street casting around Dalston and my Make-Up artist Bukkie through social media They were a great help to the shoot and really lovely to work with.
I styled and photographed the shoot myself with styling being my more stronger area compared to photography which I like but more as a hobby rather than a future profession though I enjoy working behind the camera sometimes and to truly get the vision I have pictured in my head I needed to shoot this myself rather than get a photographer.
The colour/tone of the shoot was really different to my previous style of which a lot more 'darker' in contrast so this shoot really opened up my eyes into the world of colour when it came to styling and editing.
When it came to the editing process I had to narrow down 200 shots just down to 4 which I found easier than usual as I knew I had the perfect shots whilst shooting. Onto Photoshop now I know the basics but because this is a magazine editorial I really wanted it to look super polished and believable as a fashion editorial.
For starters I used one of the shots as a sort of template to experiment on, I watched youtube videos on the techniques I needed to use and practisced on my template which I picked up in no time and already felt so much more compfortable in these new skills I had learned which I can use in future work.
I am very happy with the final images which have left me feeling a lot more confident in my work and the feedback from my peers and tutors has been great. My next step is to decide which size will be suitable to print for the exhibition showcase.
