My final brand shoot.

Today I had my Brand shoot. I asked my sister to model for me as I thought she was a good fit for the brand. I went in early to make sure I had enough time for hair and makeup. I wanted to do my second design idea, and style my model in a modern 40's look. I wanted to pay homage to No7's long life and  give it a modern twist, using modern makeup application and products. I'm really happy with the way the makeup came out. She looks flawless and I'm really happy with the way my model, the make up, and the hair came out in the studio. 

my studio set up.

Above is the studio set up I used. I kept my camera settings the same  as previous studio sessions but played with the light settings and aperture if needed.

1. I set the camera up about a metre away from this from the set up. 
2. The computer was next to me and connected to my camera with the tether cable. so that I could change the settings and see what I was doing. 
3. I used a 50mm lens, SD Card, Hot shoe adaptor.
4. Camera setting were: Manual, Daylight, Raw camera image, ISO 100, Aperture 1/160.
5. I altered the aperture if needed to create the brightness I was after but only after changing the light settings either by, turning the power up or down on the over light. 
6. I used to black poly boards to keep the light on my model. This also helped keep the surroundings of my model blacked out.
7. I used The spotlight fixture to create the spotlight effect.

I had to play with the positioning of the light as this was my only light source and wanted to make sure it was flattering and creating shadows in the right place on my model. When I had a good position for the light I could then begin shooting. I am really pleased with the outcome of the photos. I have so many good shots of my model that I know the next challenge is editing them and choosing my favourite and the photo that I feel is the most appropriate for my brand.
