Final Images- Editorial look. Story

    The following pictures represent my final images for the editorial look. I still have to choose the final one and this is going to be a hard decision because I am very happy with the final look. The model in the pictures is a professional model, working for Elite Model Management Italy. I also thought that using a male model for this look would be suitable because Ellis Faas had as model for her looks her brother too, which shows again that the makeup brand created by the artist has no ages, no gender or skin colour stereotypes:

    

    

    As it can be noticed, in these images, one after another there is more and more going on. Movement and details are added to the pictures. I have started with close ups and slowly moved to midlength pictures. Through this I am demonstrating the development of the look as well the the development of the character. The story itself behind these pictures improves and that is shown through the change of the lighting too. 

 The story behind the images:

     The close-ups at the beginning show clearly the make-up applied. The lighting at the same time indicate the start of a long journey and the evolution of this character- the warrior. Everyone starts from the bottom to reach the top. This is what I wanted to show in my images. The warrior began his journey from being innocent, gaining more courage and become a fierce man, determined and fearless. With experience and the passage of time, everyone grows and learns to overcome not only the difficulties but also learn to be more aggressive and cruel and independent. The change and development is, as we have already said, even through the light used in the studio that becomes more drastic and cold. There start to appear small details slowly. At the beginning appears the spiked belt that represents the bullets. It is the first step to a fight, and here is the smoke as well which is coming out through the nose showing anger and determination. The smoke is fading out slightly, as after a fight or a war there is smoke from guns and dust. Then on the body appears more paint which looks like dirt and signs- kind of post fight. The hand print on the body is something taken from the tribal cultures. In some tribes this is the symbol of victory.
