Evaluation...

This project as a whole has been a really enjoyable one for me. When I first began at Solent in 2010 I was sure that I wanted to be in the prosthetic side of the Make-up industry, although I think I might prefer the Fashion and Beauty side a little more now! 

I feel that the images that I have produced have come a long way since first year and the start of second year and I think that I am beginning to find my flare. This project was the first that I have experienced shooting outside on location and although I enjoy working in the studios, I have gained a love for outside photography as the lightness creates some sort of realness to the image. I can see that my photography skills have improved a great deal this term as I have taken all of these final images myself and am really pleased with the composition and angles of them all. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about different Make-up brands and im really pleased that I was working, focusing on Rimmel, as I think this allowed me to open up a new style that I was unsure on achieving. My favourite image out of all of my five Beauty Looks was the blue Eyeliner look. I feel that this one looks most like a Rimmel Campaign and the outcome of the final image was just how I had first imagined it, if not better. 

My least favourite image out of my five looks is the smokey eye look against the red background. I like the make-up and the idea of this shoot, but I think that I should have chosen a model with a hair colour that contrasts nicely with red, rather than a model that also had Red hair.  I had shot this image previously with a different model, although the SD card was temporarily misplaced and so I re-shot it using with a different design and idea. I think that if I were to use the first model with the second idea then this shoot would have been more perfectly dramatic. Never the less I am still pleased with the final outcome, and this idea is something that I can consider for future preference. 

Overall I feel that I my Make-up, Hair and Photography skills have improved immensely during this project and I am positive that I have found a career path that I have a passion for; the Fashion and Beauty Industry.
