The main objective of this shoot was to ensure Nell is being portrayed as a strong character. I decided to change the outfit as I believe the previous shoot’s outfit was unsuitable. The texture of the satin and the velvet remind me of water and its movement. I also focused on shooting from a lower angle and asking the model to raise her chin slightly more than normal. the plastic sheet was used to bring movement to the shoot, reminding us of the way water moves but also about how this material impacts wildlife, seas and lakes is particular. I styled the models hair as if she had been in water – this slick back look is very on trend at the moment, meaning it will capture the eye of young people. The lighting is more shadowy than I usually shoot, although this was new to me I am pleased with the results and will continue to shoot with similar lighting. During the post editing process I decided to use colour corrector so the tone of the image is slightly blue. I think this caused the image to pop and makes the composition feel more magical.
