Final photoshoot - Un-retouched

For my final photo-shoot I chose gold as my one color to set the image off. I have brought a few gold jewelry for the model to wear for the photo-shoot, also I have asked my model to wear any top or jacket that was closest to the gold color as I wanted to make a statement for these images. I have asked the model to wear natural make up and make he hair slightly wavy to emphasize the natural beauty, rather than over done hair style and a lot of make up. I have added some illuminating make up product on my models cheeks to bring out the glow when the pictures are takes, to make her skin look very fresh, youthful and naturally beautiful. For the color images I have chose white background as I thought that it will create more of a contrast between white and gold, and it will not distract the viewer from the model and the detail, I have also used hard lighting with a high exposure dish light, I like the shadows that are behind the model as it gives more depth to the images and they don't look too over done I wanted to stick to the most natural techniques when creating these images. For the black and white images I chose grey background as I wanted the image to be a lot more darker and mysterious, I used soft box to create much more of a soft light and also low exposure to make the images much more darker and bring out the shadows even more.
