This photo was my final choice as i did follow the same guidelines that Roversi followed however i made it more modern as its the teenage idea of 'natural' beauty.
The lighting in this picture I feel was the strong point I was able to follow the same technique as Roversi by using a direct light on the subjects body and face to highlight those areas in particular, to do so I used a bedroom lamp, this I feel did not hinder my photo in any way were as my first attempts at using both natural light ( which I have no control over) and then a strobe light ( which was to bright and didn’t highlight in the right areas) both failed. The contrast I created between the paleness of my subject and the darkness of her hair I feel added to idea of a high end ‘fashion’ images and in my own personal opinion added to the picture. My subject was not natural beauty in a sense that she has obvious makeup on, was my way of making the picture my own and not a complete replica of Roversi’s work, I wanted to show a teenage version of ‘natural’ which to most girls interested in fashion is the idea of wearing makeup all the time and without of you actually don’t feel like yourself you feel bare. I did emulate the others aspects of the Roversi image, the focus point was my subjects eyes and also she was like the model in Roversi’s shirtless and basically striped down to the real her. The areas where improvement is needed, for example is the shadow of my subject its very clear and noticeable in particular around the subjects arm I could have found away to make sure there was no shadow in the image I feel this would have made it altogether a stronger image.
