..Photoshoot +  ideas

I think the outfits we chose for our final images were all very different. Two very classic, elegantly posed images, styled to resemble how the royal family actually dress. Then two styled completely differently - edgy and rebellious. It in some ways shows our 'Queen' as having two different personalities. What the public see's and how they really are. This reminds me an awful lot of Prince Harry and all the bad controversy he has caused over the past few years. Being a prince, he is supposed to be seen as charming and honourable, and yet he still has all the characteristics of any young person his age. 

 


These two images show the different sides of a royal's life.. Our Photoshoot has a similar concept !

It was interesting way of 'revealing' the lifestyle of a true royal ! and their two very different lives !

..My personal Favourites

I love this image, it looks really professional. Our model Sarah is wearing a long nightgown, instead we thought it would be a nice idea to wear the dress on the opposite side, just because it hung better and looked  classy. We added a pearl necklace because it looked too simple, this piece made it seem more expensive. Her shoes are very simple - basic nude toned heels. Our male model Mehdi wore a black suit with a white shirt. Very simple and classic. In most of the images he plays a gentlemen.  

   

I love this image because it looks so real. We thought it was important to get some real shots as well as professionally taken images because if you research the royals you will find many real life images. They both look casual, yet so beautiful. In this image Sarah is dressed in a plain white dress with a red, velvet blazer, and a pair of clean, black shoes. Sophisticated is the word to describe this styling.  

  

This is my favourite image taken when using this outfit, I love the composition and the model's attitude. For these images, we added to the make-up (blusher, darker eyes and black lipstick). We also added to the hair, as you can see we added some blonde extensions so the hair was thicker and we was able to put her hair up, rather than having it down to create a variation. We added a crown which we had taken from previous research of Lady Gaga. In these images, Sarah is wearing another blazer, but rather than keeping up with the sophisticated style, we added a tutu and some boots. I think this is strong image, it's like she is letting herself go, maybe it's her secret identity!

I love this image because you can see how much the chemistry has changed between the two models. It's a lot more fun. Here, Sarah is wearing a red jumper, a blue shirt and a sequin skirt. For some of the images we removed her crown, I think I prefer this outfit without the crown because maybe it was too much.    

This image is beautiful, it's a close up, so we can see the make-up and the styling of the hair.

All in all I think our Photoshoot was very successful, we produced a lot of strong, final images. 

Model !

.Model & Styling ? 

The image below I took off Facebook of the model. I think she has a good look for the shoot, she has long dark hair which we could play with and defined cheek bones, with blusher and lipstick she would look very model-esk !

Taking inspiration from The Sex Pistols. I think the look should be rock and roll style. These are a few ideas i thought could look good for the styling. The image on the left is a photograph of Daisy Lowe, I love the way she backcombs her hair to look messy. It would be a twist. It's the opposite of how the queen actually dresses. On the right there is an image of a model dressed in a tutu. I think again this image is quite edgy but, still girly and trendy. To go with this look i thought the model could be wearing boots, like she is in the picture. I have some riding boots which could look good ?    

 

As our model is playing the Queen we'll need a crown. I found this image of lady gaga. I think something like this would be achievable. It could even be made out of some black card and cut to fit the same shape! 

The English Pound.

It could be interesting to look at one of the most famous, yet common images in England. Start looking at pound notes, the iconic queens head but doing something different and new. 

Rather than the queen figure we could use a model and create an edgier version. Crazy hair and make-up, and it wouldn't just have to be a portrait image we could do full body versions. Styled to be edgy, to my mind pops a tutu, just think it could look good and with a bit of Photoshop it could look quite realistic.

I also thought it could be nice to use a Male Model as well and dress him as an edgy king, since we have men on some of the notes.

We could even look at doing it on a coin so we had a variation of images, we could change the writing around the outside of the coin on Photoshop which wouldn't be too complicated. 

We could take inspiration from this image, it's rebellious! it would be cool if we used this quote somewhere in our final images 

'God saved the queen'.
