Upon my initial impressions of this project I actually found
the whole concept rather challenging as I feel I had mentally limited myself in
what I thought I would be able to produce. From the options I chose something that
was going to be easiest for me but found I was unchallenged by the concept, therefore
I changed my concept to something that would push me to think more. By opting
for ‘Organic Beauty’ I knew immediately that I wanted to create something that wasn’t
expected of your classic natural editorial and as a result stepped away from
the clichéd views of focusing on eco friendly beauty products. Instead I chose
a biological approach, tying in my passion for science with the behaviour of the
planet. The biggest challenge faced within this project was most definitely the
technical elements, for example using a photographer and editor to assist with my
shoots. The main problem was predominately that I lost control of my project
and wasn’t happy with the results, therefore I took it upon myself to reassess
my work and tackle the makeup, shooting and editing independently with just my
model. Due to this I feel I learnt more from the project through conducting
more experiments with lighting and photography to achieve my final images. That
being said, the heavy focus on teaching myself these skills definitely bled into
my work and allowed for the research into my final site to be more rounded. Overall
I’m pleased with the outcome.
