The above images use the long blonde wig, created as my models hair was originally pink when allocated for my project. The makeup uses a pink gloss lip, combines with a feminine purple eye, and represents Titania, queen of the faeries emerging from her kingdom into the stately home of the human monarchy. The images are very playful and explorative and the styling and positioning of the model fits the high fashion brief outlines in my proposal.
The above images now demonstrate the change in Titanias attitude, using a green eye to represent envy, clashing with a purple lip, which I believe expresses the uncertainty in who she wants to be at this point, and if she is questioning her existence as a faerie rather than a human queen. The extravagant tall wig, is something that trys to get her noticed by the human people, as she does not understand she is invisible as she has such a presence in her own society. The second image and fact her shoes are lost, slowly represent her return to nature, and the fact she has now distanced herself from the house as if she is returning to her own kingdom.
The next set of images represent Titanias return to her own civilisation. The full flower wig represents nature reclaiming her, and the nude smoked eye, and pink lip pull away from the bright colours used when she was searching for attention. The styling I feel is a lot more plain but more regal and lets the natural surround speak for itself within this set of images.
The last image Rachael submitted is one that was designed directly for her own narrative rather than mine, and is one I will not be submitting as one that fulfils my own brief as it does not fit with the narrative storyline I created for this project. I have however included my design process for this look throughout so that the assessor understands this was also a thought about image that we worked together on to complete my photographers narrative. The high fashion composition of the piece, with the use of texture in the clothing and smoke in the air, meant that the make-up has to be simplistic and this was also true of the way the hair was designed.
Overall I am very happy with the images, which I believe tell the story of Titania through creative arts in a concise, yet outside the box manner. We have chosen to name the collection of images 'Fantasia' the definition of which is (provided by the oxford dictionary); "a thing composed of a mixture of different forms or styles." This is relevant to the change from shakespearian classical storyline, into a high fashion storybook narrative, with alternate hairstyling, fashion styling and an array of colour combinations that contribute to our final images.
PLEASE FIND MY FINAL SUBMITTED IMAGES IN A SEPARATE POST AND ALSO ON MY SUBMITTED MEMORY STICK.
