Album/Poster Idea Coming To Life

Just like I did before I officially filmed my music video, I also decided to do a test photoshoot for my briefly thought idea for my Album and Poster covers. Overall, this went really well but as expected is was not as easy as anticipated. 

As seen above, I started out with a couple of plain shoe shots, playing around with the various setting I have on my camera. As you can see above, the first image's background is slightly more defined and in focus than the second image. This is due to the difference in camera setting. For the second shot (and what I ended up using for the duration) I used a 'sports shutter' setting, which allowed me to take miniature photos every second, to allow movements to be captured. 

This was ideal for me as I wanted my photo's to capture my eye-shadow's powder. 

As seen here, I had to begin with experimenting various ways to make my powder 'fly'. With this image, I blew excess powder to the direction of the shoe, in order to add depth and diversity to this shot. This worked well I thought, but this was not what I was after.  

As well as the shoe, I also pictured before and after shots of the products I was using to create my final photo. The middle photo amongst these pictures above was taken right at the end of the shoot, and I like it so much that I may try to incorporate it into my Digipack's back design, as it could demonstrate the unnecessary mess of using large amounts of make-up. 

For these final photo's, this is how I wanted my overall image to end up. At the beginning, you will notice that there is not as many products on display as this last image. This is because I wanted to see how much of a difference the products made as a three, rather than just one. To clear away from the 'purple' theme, I began to add a shade of blue eye-shadow, to add more colour and boldness to the image. I think this process worked really well and helped me massively to reach my end result. 

This last image is the one I will be using for my front Album cover and Poster, as I believe it was my most successful image in demonstrating power and strength against mass amounts of cover up.
