Work Record- Shoot 8

In todays lesson I experimented with a new idea to show colour. I wrapped christmas lights around the models face as I was inspired by a photograph that I saw online. However due to the fact that I had seen this specific picture & my photographs didn't look exactly like the image I was disappointed with my outcome as I couldn't get the lighting the way I wanted it as the models skin colour was effected. I used a black background. 

If I was to do this shoot again I would have to keep experimenting with the different lighting until I got it right, however I don't feel that I could progress with this shoot any further. 

This photograph is one of the better photographs that came out of this shoot. I used the overlay technique to show the same image twice. I like the models skin tone in this photograph as you can only slightly see her face which makes the lights the main focus which I wanted. I used a black background to make the colours of the bright lights stand out against it. 
If I was to take this photograph again I would experiment with different angles that I could take this photograph from. 

In this photograph you can see around the models ear the lighting along with the christmas lights has caused the models skin to go bright red. Also the lights in this photograph to not seem to be as vibrant as I would have wanted them. On the other hand I do like the side angle that this photograph has been taken from. 
Therefore if I was to take this photograph again I would adjust the lighting. 

Inspiration: 

My inspiration for this shoot came from a photograph that I had seen online of christmas lights wrapped around a mans face. I used the same black background but feel that I may have needed to use more christmas lights to achieve what I wanted. 

As a result of this shoot I'm not going to progress with this idea as i don't feel I am going to get the same quality photo as the photograph that I am inspired by. Therefore I am going to look into showing colour in a different way.
