This is my final image, I am very pleased with some elements of it but I'm not overly happy with the editing. It is still something I struggle with but I do feel that I am slowly getting better. I wanted to try to make the modern image blend into the background, I blurred the edges and tried a few different effects so that it would not stand out from the background.
I really enjoyed the photo-shoot, it was short but sweet. I didn't need a huge range of poses and managed to get the perfect image really quickly. The hair and make-up I wanted to keep quite plain, I think the painting shows Salome's raw natural beauty and I thought that if I went over board with the hair and make-up it would detract from my models beauty.
I did not need any props for my photo-shoot, my dress was made with time to spare and I did not have a back drop. I feel my organisational skills have improved greatly in this project the only thing I may do differently another time would be to paint my own backdrop. The reason I didn't have a backdrop was purely for cost and unfortunately I didn't consider any other options, for instance painting a smaller image and scanning it into the computer. The part I enjoyed the most was definitely the design process, I feel it is one of my stronger areas. I was not overly pleased at how my print turned out, although I did samples I should perhaps have done a few more. I really enjoyed getting a chance to do something different with this project and I did find it a challenge trying to get into the mind of a stylist rather than just a designer. I do feel that I would have liked to have done more to my dress and perhaps added more print but because I stenciled the pattern on I don't think it would have turned out clearly as there would be too much detail.
