How it went - Gordon sister shoot

On the day of the shoot I was feeling confident as I was really happy with the final outcome of the piece that I had made for this. Although when I had photographed the piece prior the shoot I noticed that the hair exstentions didn't quite look black on camera. Because of this I brought some black spray and decided to spray the the wefts with black spray. I also used black grease paint on the braided pieces in the middle as the jumbo hair also didn't look black on camera either.

This happening meant that I had to think about what products I could use to darken the hair so that it would be appropriate for the shoot. From this I have learnt that next time I should ensure that the hair is the wanted colour and looks the same colour on camera. 

As I didn't have a photographer for the shoot I did the photography in the beauty booths myself. I had a sync lead, a reflector and a camera however when I attached the sync lead to the bulb lights it wasn't flashing together. I couldn't work out how to fix it however luckily there were other students in the photography room so one guy helped me set up the lights in time with the camera.

In the future it is much better to have a photographer to take the images for me as they have a lot more confidence and experience with the camera settings and the lighting. 

Below are the unedited image from the shoot.

For the exhibition I will edit the pictures, I will need to edit the gold chain from the necklace of the hair piece. I will also edit the skin tones to make the skin look more flawless.
