This week I had planned on shooting two looks, however one of my models let me down last minute so I was only able to shoot 1. I shot the look using plaster cast which created a really interesting pattern/ texture on the models face. Originally I had planned to cover the whole face creating a 'mask' like aesthetic, however during the application process the plaster started to peel off the skin very quickly as it dried so I was unable to cover the whole face. I had to work extremely quickly with the product and it was extremely hard to get it to mould to the curvatures of the face. Similar to the other shots I have done, the images I found to be the most successful were the close up shots as they showed great detail and abstract qualities. This week I have focused on editing all my images , placing them in sequence and playing around with layout as well as preparing for my progress presentation. I have also tested the use of icing on the face as I had the idea to use it for my wet product look. I feel this will be really effective as the different consistencies of icing will allow it to drip and stick to the face and also as it dries it will create a cracked texture. I will aim to shoot this look and the label look next week. I have decided on the title RE:CONSTRUCT for my book . I was drawn to the word reconstruct as it symbolises how I am trying to take a material and re-build or re-work it in an unusual way that challenges how everyday materials are constructed. Using the abbreviation Re: gives the title a twist so that it can read Reconstruct and Re:Construct. (regarding construction).
