Make Up Collaboration Project

AOP Final Images

After researching, I was inspired enough to shoot my project for AOP. I decided to do my photographs in the studio, this helped me to gain experience with lighting. I used an aged looking table as the background for the ballet shoes.
I was only able to get hold of one pair of ballet shoes which were old and battered and would look effective. I used the same pair of shoes and positioned them differently, and also ripped them up little by little to create a different outlook on my images.





I decided to edit my photos to black and white, as in my opinion my images looked better contrasted and bold. I feel this added a dramatic effect to the ballet shoes. I feel I have captured the wear and tear effect from the shoes, showing how brutal ballet can be. I am quite pleased with the outcome of the photo shoot however, I feel I could have been more organised collecting more ballet shoes to allow more of a range.
