Beyonce re-creation
- 1. Beyonce Re-creation Vicky andmy task was to replicate a photo taken of Beyonce as accurate as possible, in preparation for our coursework, as we need to create an identity for our artist and it helped us to experiment with make- up and lighting.
- 2. This is thephoto we had to copy:
- 3. We chose our friend Georgia to model this picture for us as she has blonde, curly hair similar to Beyonce’s in the photo. We began by applying her base make-up this had to be fairly dark to match Beyonce’s skin tone.
- 4. Then we filled in her eyebrows to make them thicker and darker
- 5. We also applied eyeliner above and below her eye to create the shadow and resemble the smoky eye effect beyonce has.
- 6. Finally we applied lip liner to thicken her lips and put a lipgloss on top to get that plum effect. Next, was the tough part of getting Georgia into the correct position.
- 7. We had to constantly adjust her ever so slightly in order to get it as accurate as possible. We then had to place her hair in specific positions, i.e. across one of her eyes, this took a lot of time and we used hair grips to alternate specific places of her hair. We took lots of pictures at different angles to see what worked best, we also opened the curtain from the left side to let the light in as in the picture one side is brighter than the other, this worked really well in constructing the lighting effect of the photograph.
- 8. Out of all the shots we took we decided she looked most similar to the photo in this one. However, we needed to crop out a lot of the background as it is only a white background.
- 9. For the post-production stage we turned the picture black and white on the iphone app instagram then edited the final features on Microsoft office 2010 by adjusting the contrast and darkness.
- 10. Our Final Picture Overall I believe this photo is an accurate replication of the original picture and it helped me learn how every minute detail counts.
