Summer/ Beach Photoshoot + Critical Analysis

SUMMER/ BEACH PHOTOSHOOT + CRITICAL ANALYSIS 

CRITICAL ANALYSIS & OVERALL THOUGHTS

More than anything, I am so pleased with the thought and planning put into each outfit, these outfits are very much inspired by the Giorgio Armani Spring/ Summer 2014 collection- sheer materials and pattern galore. The beautiful model's skin is bright and radiant against the whitish/ beige backdrop. As you can see from the final images, my model's hair was insanely thick and long which leads to the criticisms of this final look (in regards to the hair anyway). The hair was successfully somewhere in between straight and wavy, as planned and even had that sea salt spray/ beach texture BUT, was extremely hard to cover the hair completely, and and actually keep it in style throughout the photo shoot. The top half of the hair is what I wanted to achieve through scrunched and applying styling products, but the bottom half is very blatantly more straight than planned.

Overall I felt my design was subtle, effective, radiant and very reminiscent of my own take on previous Giorgio Armani looks.  The eyes are perfectly bronzed with an 'eye and lip gloss' applied over to create even more shine to the lids, and the lips are a perfect tone of pink to compliment my dark-haired model and her porcelain skin. I feel like the whole organisation of this shoot, the styling and photographer, and even the fan used to add a wind-swept effect to the hair have all been thought about in depth and have helped towards the final outcome of the images.
