Projection Photo Shoot - testing!

Our 1st test shoot was very successful. There was no editing and we realised that the prints show up well on skin. We used the uni projector which was really bright. Next step was to find a good location to test and find a projector to use, as we can't take the uni one anywhere.
Projection Test Shoot number 2!
I have acquired a large club in Brighton to shoot in. In order to shoot the model with the projection on, but have a black background, we needed to bring the model away from the wall, but also shoot was a certain angle and distance. We reaised that the projector is not as bright as the uni one an so the skin does not come up amazingly. Therefore I want to have the models wearing all white and use white makeup on the part of the body still showing. We will also be changing the projection images so they show a lot more detail on the body. Now we now exactly what to do to get it right we can go ahead with the real shoot and bring the models in!




Make up inspiration for Projection shoot


These are inspiration photos for the make up for the projection shoot. I want very bold and striking make up so that when I shoot close ups, it really stands out. Black will be best as all the projection images are so colorful, it would not work to use colored make up. I also want the face to be made very very white, and also whiten the skin which is not covered by clothes.

Casting Call for October - D&AD awards.

Hello!

I am a professional female photographer in Brighton. I have not worked on a TFP basis for some time now, but have some strong ideas I would like to create with your help. I will be posting more casting calls in the future, but this one is for a specific concept I have.

The post is unpaid for everyone involved unfortunately as I am only a student myself so can't afford to pay. However I plan to send off the best images we produce to magazines with the hopes to get them published. I will also be entering the very best image from this shoot into the D&AD awards which is a massive competition and if by chance we got into the top 10, all involved would get great publicity.

Of course the main aim for all of us working for free together is to create incredible and unique images for our portfolios so that we can get great paid work in the future!

The competition is for Bodyshop and the concept I have decided on is "Show Your True Colors".

I'm looking for various models of different sizes, ethnicity and gender. Also for MUA's, hair stylists and body paint artists.

Some of the shoots involve implied nudity, but this image has to be able to be viewed by kids as well as adults so it won't be saucy or sexy. You don't need to be stick thin to apply by any means. All I ask is that you are comfortable with your body when in front of a camera and you know how to pose with ease.

If anyone is interested please send me a message on MM or comment here.

The possible dates to shoot the studio things are: Tuesday 3rd, Wednesday 4th and/or Friday 6th. Dates for the body paint shoot - just some time in the next few weeks, so the date is weather dependant!

Thanks so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

p.s. I must stress that none of these gorgeous images are mine (apart from the test shoot) They were all found on forum pages of 'Model Mayhem'. If the photographer of any of these images wishes for me to remove them then please do let me know and I will.
