Throughout this module i have enjoyed being able to recreate various different looks whilst getting the opportunity to create my own personal portfolio.
At the start of the year i had a different concept in mind for what i wanted my shoots to look like, i had specific plans for the locations of my shoots including derelict buildings and forest area’s. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic everything, including my university work was put on hold. I was forced to temporarily move back home from manchester with no notice which means all of my belongings are still in manchester waiting to be collected when the uk wide lockdown is lifted. With all of those things not going to plan i had to figure out how i was going to create these photoshoots at home with little equipment. Even though most of the looks were on myself i have enjoyed having something to do whilst stuck indoors. it isn’t ideal that all of my photos were taken on a camera phone however under the circumstances they turned out a good quality, having a professional camera and lighting would have been better. When lockdown is over i plan to carry on my makeup work and hope to get chance to do this again but with a model and photographer. A couple of weeks before lockdown photographers and model weren’t available to continue with the shoots which meant collaborating wasn’t a option.
