Merging the projects...

Initially this was a fashion shoot that ended up focusing more on the face than the clothes worn by Rachael. I shot this using some expired film from 1980, which despite the grain gave some beautiful results.

I wanted to portray and evokethe youthful nature of Rachael, her character and the facial expressions that come with it. This session was more a technically oriented shoo, however, I still wanted to exemplify some form of the abstract from within Rach's face.
Manga girl is something I am pleased to have produced from this session as I have managed to make Rachael look completely different to how she normally looks. Focusing on bold tones of red to allow her features to stand boldly against the solid white tones of her face, I had a lot of fun making her do bizarre and out of the ordinary facial expressions.
For something which wasn't originally intended for this unit of work I am satisifed with the results. However, I believe that for this project to be consistent I must go back to photographing Zoe
An unedited version of my photograph... I am trying to edit less and achieve more in-camera.
