futuristic make up design on metropolis ..

I've based my make up designs on the metropolis film

i thought the film was weird and i didn't really enjoy it at all,

but the clips i have taken out are the clips that

have inspired my make up choice.

futuristic make up design research ..

Illamasqua

I have fallen in love with Illamasqua, its absoloutly amazing,

so glad i researched it.

Illamasqua

I dicovered Illamasqua and alot of futuristic designs.

make up shoot sheets!

i feel as though this post doesn't really need evaluation its pretty self explanitory,

the shoot went alright but it could have been better if i had done it at a better time in the day and the light was correct, bit of a shame but thats the only down side, i got the images i needed.

Metropolis, Lauren carrick

Was really impressed with a few of the images from the 2nd

make up metropolis shoot, these are the images above,

and the next post. There not as edited, as some of the other pictures

i have done for the metropolis section have been i only tweeked the

contrast levels ever so slightly, desaturated a few

and history brushed.

I feel as though the location shoot was the least of my worries but am glad that i have finally finished it, i think it went as well as it could but i could have dealt with my time management a lot better, as always. After many conversations with the group i think we all feel the same way, none of us have been able to get into the swing of things this term. Out of my two final images i prefer the later one, the colored image, i just feel as though the image tells more of a story which is more my style, In saying that i do really like the top image, i think the final overlay of the map of oxford really made the image come into it's own and have a completely different character.

Location shoot finals.

Final combination.

This is the final mix i feel as though this image is done!

i love how all the colors are blending and how busy yet plainly

striking it is in its own right.

Collage of circuit board and scafolding.

combining images seems to be a theme in this brief, i have done

this throughout, i think the colors work really well together and the sky makes

the whole scene look more natural, making the circuit board not stand out.

I also think this image is not quite final material

but its not very far from it.

Henning Larsen Architects is an international architecture company with strong Scandinavian roots. Their goal is to create vibrant, sustainable buildings that reach beyond themselves and become of durable value to the user and to the society and culture that they are built into. Since the company was founded in 1959, they have acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the many aspects of building - from sketch proposals to detailed design, building owner consulting and construction management. Our competences are continuously developed through their close collaboration with global partners, experts and specialists.

- I came across Henning Larsen Architects, in my on going architect research for location photography, I was blown away by their innovative style and constant creativity throughout the site. In my opinion they are by far the best architect’s I’ve found and have really inspired me to be more creative with my final outcome.

Complete Oxford shoot sheets

I was really really pleased with my oxford shoot, even though i only really used two or three of the actual oxford images, to edit and use for an outcome or experimentation. i was really pleased with the images of Niki and the reflection too but they didn't edit the way i wanted them too, i was going to use the reflection of the building in her glasses onto blue Lego bricks but Maurice never brought the bricks in and a picture i found online wasn't the correct size and editing the size of the Niki image wasn't very successful.

Two edited images.

Aside the fact i am calling this two edited images,

there not strictly edited, well not over edited i think they

actually looked better desaturated than they did color

and i tweeked the contrast levels ever so slightly.

Circuit board, Contact sheet.

To the left is a contact sheet for some images i have taken and some i have edited for the circuit board shoot, i really like the first two the slightly out of focus side slant circuit board images, i think they have worked really well but it was a bit of a shame that i couldn't collage them in with other images, it just didn't look right. The last three images are collaged images from the circuit board shoot and the oxford shoot, i didn't think they were very good, because of the offish perspective, but Maurice really liked them so up they came.
