Bohemian Concept Photo Shoot

Tracey Wilson

Photo shows all colours that are in the image a silhouette is clear but is bigger than the actual image.

Photo symbolises innocence as the gesture by the hands A Pagan effect is what I tried to establish here but I feel I got more of the Madonna. I wish I got the full body shot maybe kneeling on something as this gives only half a photo.


Again the model is looking up to the heavens as though asking for forgiveness in a religious sense is coming through more than a pagan request. The lighting is giving a cold feeling, could have thrown a warmer light especially on the face.


I quite liked this pose as it represents looking in to the unknown and images can be seen floating around the models mind, the photo is giving a true Hippy reflection of mood of a bohemian person The lighting could have been a lot better as it is shadowy but again with the shadow it shows a soul a feature of Bohemian style.

The model looks as though she finds an answer and some understanding as she is looking as though she is reading the ball different from the previous image as just gazing in to the ball looking for answers



A more relaxed pose taken on a bale of hay given the feeling of summer, the relaxation is shown in the pose relaxation and smile on the face it oozes warm rays. I quite like these pics as it gives the story of Bohemian style. Lighting could have been better. I like the fact that the make-up has kept its natural look and come through well.


This image shows the whole face with natural tones it emphasises the floral head garland giving the feeling of Spring/Summer. I like the way the hair falls naturally on the face and the look of the model shows a nice serene peaceful content look. The lighting captures her natural beauty. The make-up I am pleased with as it looks natural and suits the model I chose light cream and pale brown tones on the eyes with mascara I added a peach blush to the apples of the model’s cheeks then a pale pink/peach lip gloss.


Model gets musical


I decided to change and upgrade the props to give a more Hippy feel to the concept as this looks more professional and exciting. I used a Lucky bamboo plant a hashish bong some large flowers (sunflowers) and the guitar for more effect. The garland of flowers found a new home on the end of the guitar.



Above is the final photo shoot it has the props of the Bohemian Era added and the Head gear has changed from a floral garland to a headscarf to give the image More of a “Hippy” look. I added a guitar as music was very relevant in this era to how you recognised yourself and it separated the Bohos’ from the Mods.

Evaluation

Photo shows relaxed model showing the full style of the dress and matching flower’s and wearing a headscarf, I think it gives out more of a pose than actually trying to advertise a dress to be bought, as it does not show the flow of the dress. The lighting gives a warm sunset image. On the whole this was my first go at photography and through this experiment I have a lot to learn my main aim of this photo-shoot was to show Bohemian Style. I chose the hay bale to show Summer and close to the fresh country feeling to define the style more. The Pagan look I did with the clasping of hands and gazing in to a ball to represent the Gypsy, I did this purposely to show the Bohemian history. Tracey Wilson Peer Review Critique Form Inspirational and unique

I was inspired by the photography and how it can be manipulated for a better picture I will be doing more photography to improve

Convey Concept and Brand Identity

Props, clothes hair and makeup more varied hairstyles could have been used.


Does it match promotional strategy

Yes it promotes the Bohemian Concept thoroughly.

Strong sense of composition

Laid out with props and photographed to include all evidence of era

Strong Visuals? Quality Images?

The visuals are strong and the quality could have been improved better but this will get better with experience

Match chosen platform style e.g ID mag websites‌ viewers/readers?

The photos matched the chosen concept and brand though more experiments may have been needed for the clothes and should have given more choice.

Wide range of tools and techniques when editing? Is it effective?

Yes it can improve the photo’s and give them more life plus images can be distorted ie, change colours for more of an effect was useful for background
