3 week project final idea

3 Week Project Final Idea

For this project I had many ideas of what I could, however I narrowed it down to one. The idea is based on beauty.

I looked at the idea that make up is just a mask to cover up your imperfections and why does society feel the need to cover up themselves a different way. why cant we embrace our natural beauty?

 

The above photos are the photos I promoted on the last week of this project. My idea was to take the model out of her comfort zone. I took her out of her home on a journey she would take once a week, but with a condition. The condition is that she had to take this journey without makeup on. Which she would never do normally. I took a photo of the model at each public destination we went to, this was to show how the further she went in public the more uncomfortable she felt. Once I took all my photographs I edited them on Photoshop. I lowered the brightness of the photo and increased the contrast but not by a lot. Once I had done this I tried to edit them in black and white, as I feel colour didn't look as good. Once I put them in black and white I tried to enhance her imperfections and freckles so it was clear she was wearing no makeup. I am happy with the photographs, however I do think I could have improved them. If I had more time I would think more about composition and try and get the landscape behind the model more clear so the audience are aware of where she is, and why she is feeling this discomfort.
