Testing in studio

This week I have done 2 test shoots that I feel are a major step forward from the original testing I was conducting. The images below show testing of cotton wool, and fillers earth mixed with coco powder and flour to achieve a textured and cracked look. Originally it was my intention to partially cover the face with cotton wool and although  I am very happy with the effect it gave I will further experiment with covering the whole face. Also I will need to make sure I cover the whole eye area to achieve the look of  'second skin'. The second test using fullers earth I feel was really effective. Although the model unexpectedly had facial hair, and  I feel it would have worked better without. Overall I  am  making a lot more progress with my ideas and I will continue to conduct further shots in the studio this coming week.
