Unfortunately this shoot didnt go to plan, which is why there is only a few images. My plan for this was to make my model look like a mermaid. To do this I got a piece of net and then used the net as a stencil to create a ridgid pattern on her face. I used simple eyeshadows, mainly pastle colours such as; blue, green, purple and a little bit of pink. This was primarily because that is what colours I think are mainly associated with mermaids. I didnt want to cover my full models face because that wouldnt be realistic, therefore I chose certain areas and just painted in little shapes. I then travelled down her neck and painted some of her chest just so it blended in with her face. I dressed the model in a light pastle blue cami as that is the colour of the sea where mermaids live. Finally i added just a small amount of diamonds to her face and collar bones, I think this contrasted with the plain make up and make the shoot more portrait. I gathered some shells that I picked from the beach my self, to use in this photoshoot. I had my model hold some to her face and the positioned her where these props were interlinked. I also placed some in her hair. This shoot didnt go as planned because I had some technical difficulties with the lights. They were faulty at the time so i was unable to get a speecific light which was as effective as i wanted it to be. I still captured a few images to record the tecnique I had used on my models face. This shoot has give me inspiration to always have a back up pan as not everything works out the way you want it first time.
