So I've done two shoots now. Both trying to highlight a theme or at least my entire body. Now we decided to focus on just my face and expressions. I wanted to do a more dramatic look this time, perhaps skirting on (or at least I hoped to) more Vogue-like, close ups. However, the makeup was done by me and hence wasn't VERY professional. But I enjoyed the shoot nonetheless. I was also quite pleased with the results.


These two are to show the makeup I suppose. It is a dark blue-black with glitter liner. I realized that sometimes it is very easy for dark makeup to look like I've been punched in the eye. But on the plus side, I absolutely LOVE makeup and have been practicing what looks good on me for years. Also, fake lashes of course to emphasize my eye-shape/size.




These are my favourite black and white ones. All almost the same sort of demure poses, but I love the effect it has. It almost makes me look sort of old-school/Marilyn Monroe. I think these was one of my favourite shoots.

And finally my two favourite photos of the entire session:



I've been told that I have nice fingers, and I do admit that they are probably one of my best features. I am naturally stick thin, so they have a sort of fragility in them that I enjoy exploiting. My only problem with the colored one is that my right arm sort of comes out of nowhere, and looks like its a foreign limb jutting out of my head. My fake lashes also has this weird clump in the inner corner of the eye. However, despite all that I do like how it shows off my hair color, a natural light brown, although the waves were ironed in.

These two are part of my top 15 photos of all time I believe and are definitely going into my portfolio. Especially the last black and white one. I had a very enjoyable time with this shoot.

Love,
Fyx

ps. This was done in August 2011, my third shoot.
