Vanity on the road to love

U - This shoot was inspired by 'Highway Unicorn' a track by Lady Gaga. The colour palette for this look came nearly primarily from computer games set in space and I created a background to match. I love the theatrically of this song and I instantly get the feeling of being determined when I listen to it. I often listen to it when rushing around on the underground trying to get a slightly earlier train and it always gives me the motivation to run up what seems to the be the longest escalators in the world. This song is a prime example of why I love the combination of art and music, and why I use music as my auditory diary.
V - The concept of this shoot was using vanity as your shield, and not necessarily as your weapon. I don't think it's a negative thing to use makeup as your own shield, but I do think it's important to own it when you do. I used a mixture of multicoloured muted tones for the nail art created here and sadly I never included it with my final image. On this rare occasion I used natural day light instead of a camera flash as I could see the end result wasn't what I had envisioned while shooting. I was then able to work with the shape of my body capturing highlights and shadows to exaggerate the proportions of my shoulders, and to create a more warrior like torso. It's good to try new things and I would love to experiment more with natural light in my shoots.
