In this shoot I drifted towards more traditional portraiture and focused on people within my pictures rather than animals. However I preferred to look at the beauty side of the topic rather than the traditional side just yet. To portray beauty I decided to do a sugar skull face paint on one of my models, I used a bedroom as the location for my shoot to go with the theme which I wanted to be beauty, I had my model sit at a makeup table and stare into the mirror. The sugar skull makeup I created sometimes comes across quite scary and with these photographs I feel like it hints at the darker side of beauty and the industry that surrounds it.

I really enjoyed this shoot and I think it has definitely helped me progress into a new area of my project. I enjoyed taking photos of the sugar skull makeup and loved the effect it had on my model. If I were to do this shoot again I would choose a location with better lighting as the lighting in this room made it very difficult for me to take photographs. Interestingly enough my next shoot I plan to do which links to this shoot is another sugar skull shoot however I am planning to do this shoot in a studio with proper lighting rather than a bedroom, I am interested to see the effect different lighting has on the make up applied.
