emo cleo

For the first week of my concentration I decided to try a rather angsty look. The photo I was inspired by featured a female model in a purple wig, a lace collar, a pastel wardrobe and light background, wanting to veer in a more complex direction I chose a black turtle neck and dark metallic makeup to create a more intense look. The models wig was originally a vibrant purple but through editing with the color mixer on Lightroom changed the purple to a darker blue. I an increased contrast and exposure while turning down shadows and highlights to cause the dark parts of the image to blend into the backdrops darkness, which I think creates a more mysterious look.

 

This image relates to my concentration because I used low-key lighting to create a fashion portrait in which I edited by muting bright colors.
