Theatre Class Photo Shoots

Two weeks ago I had completed my Theatre course at Complections. We had our photo shoots within the last couple days of the course and got our final prints back on Wednesday.

Doing these photo shoots for school was quite exciting because I got to control the creative direction.

My first photo shoot was based off prints made by artist,  Roy Lichtenstein. My model was meant to look as much like the printed comic as possible. 

My idea was to play on the tears already rolling down her cheeks and really see the sadness in her eyes. She was meant to look like she was almost at a funeral. I also choose to dress her in all black to contrast from her colourful make-up and hair. 

Model: Amanda F

My second photo shoot was created around the idea of doing a shoot in UV black light. I have always loved  black lighting, as well as any glow in the dark art or paint.

I had chosen to do a tiger lady because I wanted to create a image that would be simple but bold and powerful. I also need something that was still bright enough to leap off the page.

Model: Camille H

A lot of work went into these photo shoots on everyone's part. I would like to send out a very special thanks to Amanda & Camille for coming down to Complections and volunteering their time to model for me.
Thank you so very much!!

Current course: Film & Television... blog to come soon. :)

Peace & Luv

Update: Face Painting & Prom Season

Ello everyone.

I know that I have not been around these past few months. Truthfully more like since the beginning of the year. I think this has been a combination of actually being busy, and plain laziness at times. I think I actually needed a break for a little while there, and I just let that break drag on far too long.

I have quiet a few blogs I am hoping to post very soon. First I wanted to update you all on my latest project; Face Painting.  This coming weekend at work we are having quite a few children come in from out Jr. Program. They are having a end of the year beach party, and I was asked if I would do some face painting. I thought this could be a fun challenge  that would only make me better at what I already love doing.

I had to start from scratch when it came to makeup and brushes. To be completely honest I am still not completely ready for this Sunday. I still need to buy many more brushes, as well as a couple little things I want to add. However, I have been practising since I got my product in the mail. I decided to order from Diamond FX. I got almost every basic color they had in the 32g pans. I will also be using my UV Dayglow Palette from Kryolan, as well as different types of makeup safe sparkles & glitter.

Here is a couple pictures of me practising. My poor boyfriend, Evan was kind enough to let me paint his face.

 

I will be sure to post lots of pictures of the kids. I am kinda nervous but super excited at the same time. I think my biggest worry is my timing. I'm sure Ill have quite a few kids to go through and only 2 hours or so to do so.

If anyone knows of any websites that have simple face painting idea's for kids, please comment below. I would love to check them out.

Also I'm excited to say I will be doing Taylor's, a co-worker of mine, makeup for prom on Friday night. She wants to keep her look very natural, but I'm going to see if we can glam it up a bit for prom. I again will make sure to post lots of pictures. Well, as many as she will let me take. ;)

Peace & Luv
