Test photoshoot
Soft lighting, underexposed, black background
Hard lighting, high exposure, grey background
Hard lighting, overexposed, white background
Soft Lighting, low exposure, grey background
Soft lighting, medium exposure, grey background
Hard lighting, overexposed, white background
I wanted to experiment with a few poses, different exposures and background to see which one is mostly suitable for the model. For my model I think white background looks the best when the image is over exposed and has hard lighting, white background does not distract the viewer from the model because the image is overexposed the background looks very light this way the other colors that my model has (gold) stand out which is the main color that I wanted to stand out. For the soft lighting images I think grey background looks the best as it very neutral and I think it compliments the model's skin as well as the gold color which seems to stand out even more.

Mood board - Archives
First mood-board
Second mood-board, images rearranged
The task was to write as many meanings and examples of the word that you have picked which also had to relate to university or the course that I was doing. I found this task extremely difficult as I did not have an idea of what words would go under the word 'archives'. I have started by thinking of something that was historical or old, my first word was 'records' then I was thinking of something that would be kept for a long time and 'historical make-up' popped into my head. The word 'archives' to me also associates to old books, magazines or newspapers, so that is also what I wrote down on my mood-board. Another word that I thought of was memories which leads to historical make up looks and Elizabethan make-up. I have also wrote down storage/files which led to university and then make up course. All of the words and concepts had to be related to university or to the course that I am doing so it was definitely a challenge. I cut out all the pictures that related to my word 'archives' so I picked out the images that were all different, from different make up looks to different hair, different age, and more historical because the word 'archives' associates to something that's been kept from now and before. When I had to rearrange all the images I started by putting the images that had the most natural make up and hair and going to the most extreme hair or make up that the image had.

Setting up the camera
Equipment needed:-
Canon 550D
Camera settings:-
Manual mode
Shutter speed: 1/100
ISO: 100, higher brightness = lower quality
Auto focus
Camera turned sideways for portrait images
Camera at face level
Beauty lens zooms in more for better face portrait images.
Reflector boards reduces shadows underneath jawline if held correctly, usually there should be another person helping to hold it (depending on the reflector size).
Canon 550D
Tripod
Sync lead
Beauty lens
Reflector boards
SD card
Hot shoe adapter
Camera settings:-
Manual mode
Shutter speed: 1/100
ISO: 100, higher brightness = lower quality
Auto focus
Camera turned sideways for portrait images
Camera at face level
How it works:-
Using hot shoe adapter, sync lead connects camera to the lights, it triggers flash at the same time as the photo is taken.

Experimenting more with different lighting
Low exposure, soft lighting (light on the right side of the model)
More lower exposure, soft lighting (light on the right side of the model)
Soft lighting, low exposure (light behind the model)
Soft lighting, low exposure (the light below the model)
Soft lighting, underexposed (light in front of the model)
Hard lighting, overexposed (light in front of the model)
Hard lighting, high exposure (light in front of the model)
