Photoshoot- Ruby Collins

























Mock-up Photos for digi-pak:
 
These photos are some mock-up photos that I can see myself using for the digi-pak design. Here I have taken a range of shots of Ruby Collins to see if the image that she has is coherent with the artist profiling that I have made. This was a very exciting process as, it was the first time that I got to envision how the artist would physically look thus, I had to devise a style that would work for Ruby Collins. The main styling that I think was successful for the photo-shoot that I chose today was the very organic clothing that was in fashion. I think that both the kimono and the red jumper worked really well because the kimono was black and white  meaning that it was understated, but the pattern worked alongside the white top as, there wasn't too many patterns blended together. The red jumper also worked well because the red was on a knitted jumper which is quite organic and the fact that the jumper was made of wool, gave it that earthy feel.
 
I also decided to take the pictures when it was pitch black outside and this was because an art student that I know told me that this is the best time to take the image, with the flash on as it is the only way to get the best exposure that you can. I agreed form the end results definitely as all shots where in focus and the lighting did not look superficial.
 
As for the hair, I didn't do much with the hair except make the model make it less clingy to her head as the windswept hair is consistent with the image of artist in the jazz and soul genre. I think that the most successful images that came of today, had to be the images when she was not looking at the camera and this is because looking at the camera can make people awkward thus, there face goes slightly peculiar and there expression is hard to read. Therefore, for the real photos I will aim to have once again another variety of images, they will aim to have the same clothing, of not more of a range and the hair will be refocused with a messy look or possibly a perm.
