Introduction

For my second shoot I decided to go for two different looks for my model, one was a lot more natural and cultural as the head wrap resonates with what Jamaican women use for their braids. I feel like the first look may be best suited for my content page as my second shoot was a lot more of a statement and much more grand which will really capture readers attention on my double page spread.

My Favorite Photo

I think that the costume of the brown toned dress and necklaces symbolizes that this artist is down to earth and does not put herself higher than anyone else she is showing a sign of stability and support and security and well as her letting herself go. I think including the green and yellow eyeshadow goes really nicely with the color scheme as well as the over done red blush that brings in that third Rasta color. I am really pleased with including the plant pot prop and the flowers in the models braids, unfortunately I was hoping to put more flowers in her hair. But I think the colors of the plants are really bursting with bright colors. The green leaves and burnt orange flowers blending in with the color scheme of the model really nicely. However I think the pinkish flowers kind of stand out the most and all though it doesn’t really resonate with Rasta colors or anything I think it helps to just show that femininity of the artist as it helps separates her from all the huge artists that are men such as Bob Marely, Peter Tosh, UB40 etc…

Reflection

I think this shoot went well but there were a lot of things I wish had gone better such as having more time to do each look  and the fact I was unable to do the second shoot in the studio so the lighting wasn’t great and gave us less time to get my model model ready but all though the look wasn’t completely finished for the second shoot and the lighting wasn’t as good as the studio I still am really happy with my shoot and I think for the future I will make sure to get the shoot that is most important done first so I can spend more time on it and get it out of the way.
