I used a naturally lit location that was bright and offered a warm glow, I felt that this would benefit the tone that I wanted to present within my photographs. I also felt that bright colours within the background and other aspects would work well with highlighting the beauty, whilst adding flavour of uniqueness compared to most plain beauty photography. Since I used myself as the model during this shoot I used a tripod to stand the camera on to ensure stability and so that it was constantly at the correct level to correspond with my height.
Camera set up-
I used an Olympus E-M5Mark11 camera with an Olympus M.12-40MM F2.8 LENS. I set the exposure to 1/25 secs, f/2.8 and the ISO at 200.
Photoshop-
I started by overlaying the two images of the model and of the makeup. Firstly I selected the image of the makeup copied and pasted it onto the photo of the model. This would cover the model image completely so that it can no longer be seen. Next I made sure the makeup photo thumbnail was highlighted so that I could adjust the opacity of the image, which would allow both images to be seen.
I then flattened the image so that anything I was to do next would happen to both layers. I changed the curves and levels to create more contrast within the photo. I then wanted to have a large colour influence within the photos. I liked the idea of creating my images using inspiration from Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe multiple imagery prints. Once the colour aspect of the image had been applied I decided to also use the multiple imagery technique.
Therefore, I created a new blank document selected an image using the select- all bar tab, copied and pasted. I did this for the four images.
I am happy with this last shoot and Personally rather like the Andy Warhol inspired aspect of some of my photographs as I feel that it uses a technique that has already had such a positive feedback from.
