Cecil Beaton

Anonymous. (20/01/2012). what i never knew about Cecil Beaton.Available: http://www.mrblasberg.com/2012/01/20/what-i-never-knew-about-cecil-beaton/. Last accessed 26/10/14.

Cecil Beaton is a British photographer who has done photography work for my fair lady and has worked with vogue in the 1930s. The image Rankin choses to recreate is the 1934 image of the white Panama hat. Rankin uses model Sophie Ellis Bexter to recreate his image . The camera Rankin uses is a 10"8 camera which takes photographs upside, with a 10"8 camera the photgraphs are unable to be seen instantly in order to get a rough idea of what the final photograph will look like, Rankin mkept reverting back to digital imagery.

Rankins recreation of the white panama hat 1934 by Cecil Beaton is a close comparsion to the original image, however the model in the 1934 image expresses the emotion sadness more than Rankins 2008 recreation.I really like in Rankins image the use of lighting used, it really brings the image to life. I also like in Rankins recreation how the makeup has been applied, the lips and the cheek bones are really prominant in the image.

Erwin Blumenfield

Erwin Blumenfield was a german born photographer who worked for Vogue and Bazaar magazine in the 1940s and 1950s. Blumenfield shot more cover photographs for Vogue than any other photographer . The image Rankin decided to create was Blumenfields Vogue magazine cover from 1950. Blumenfields version was orignially shot in black and white,however he then added the colour to his work during the printing stage and bleached out the image so only the eyes, the brow and the lips were prominant. Rankins version was manipulated by the 21st centruy digital image techniques.

It is noticable that Rankin in his final image has slightly changed the facial expression and has bleached out the face less so the features such as the eyelashes and the nose is highlighted more in comparison to Blumenfields image. I like how Rankin has bleached out the face in his image less in comparison to the original image as the features come to life more.

Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon 1923 was a New york born  fashion and portrait photographer , his favourite model to work with was Dovima, he also worked with Fred Astair and legendary photographer, Lilllian Bassman who worked for Bazaar, she was also known for encouraging Avedons talents in photography. Paris was a main location where Avedon would shot his work.

Jo Craven. (11/05/2011). Richard Avedon. Available: http://www.vogue.co.uk/spy/biographies/richard-avedon-biography. Last accessed 26/10/14.

"A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks."


The quote highlights the Richard Avedon was a talented photographer who knew what to look for in a photograph.

Rankin chooses to recreate Richard Avedons most important image of fashion in Europe, which was Dovima with elephants 1955.

Rankins image right is a very close recreation to Avedons original. Although Rankins image is in colour whereas Avedon's orignal is in black and whiteI really like the use of lighting used in Rankins image, the main focus is Erin O'connor who modelled for Rankin and the two elephants.

David Bailey

David Bailey 1938 is an English fashion photographer, who incorporates technical brillance and personaility into his work, which has made him so successful. Majority of David's work is seductive which made a huge transfrormation in the fashion industry.

what i found interesting about this image taken of David Bailey in 1965 was it was taken by another British photographer Cecil beaton who also had an impact on the fashion industry .

The image Rankin chose to recreate was the 1963 Jean Shrimpton image by david Bailey, out of all the images Rankin could have chose he mentions in the documentary theres just something about this image that catches my eye . He uses his model girlfriend to recreate the Jean Shrimpton image.

Rankins image of the 1963 jean Shrimpton image by David Bailey ressesmbles certain elements such as the clothing, pose, facial expression and also the image being in black and white. I really like the lighting used in Rankins image it makes the image look flawless and the model stand out prominantly against the black background.

Helmut Newton

Helmut Newton was a German- Austrailan born fashion photographer who was considered intimidating. Newton worked for Vogue and other publicans his work was mainly recognisable as black and white and provoctive .

The Rue Aubriot 1975 was the image Rankin had decided to recreate as it was shot right outside Helmuts home ,he defends Helmut  in the documentary mentioning that his work was not provocative he just wanted to see what fashion could do.

Rankin also recreated the nude version of Helmuts original image using model Mollie Gandi. Rankins recreation of Helmuts image ressembles certain elements such as the pose the clothing and location, however i prefer the orignal image due to Helmut giving a slightly more raw effect in his image .

Guy Bourdin

Guy Bourdin 1928-1991 was a french fashion photographer who had worked for magazines such as Vogue and also advertising commercials , his work was known to be slightly close cutting to the edge of pornography .

Rankins  1970 version of the untitled Vogue image by Guy Bourdin slightly ressembles the orignal, the pose and background image are very similar however i feel Rankins interpretation really highlights digital manipulation whereas Guy Bourdin created this image without it. The clothing and hair in Rankins version of the 1970 image makes his interpretion look modern and completely different to the orignal.

Herb Ritts

Herb Ritts 1952 was an American fashion photographer, majority of his work was black and white photography or portraits. In the 1980s herb Ritts became one of the top photographers and  was also well known for his working being of workers in denim.

Rankins recreation of the 1984 image of fred with tyres is genereally quite accurate according to clothing, facial expression, however the pose in the recreated image is slightly unaccurate to the orignal, the model in the original image is turnt slightly more towards the camera. Overall i think Rankins version of the 1984 image is a good ressemblence.
Towards the end of the documentary, rankin gives an overall opinion on his work in comparison to the originals the 1963 jean Shrimpton image by David Bailey was his favourite recreation. He then highlighted how the seven fashion photographer sin the documentary have made an impact on his own career and how incorprates elements from their work into his own work.
Overall after watching the documentary seven photographs that changed fashion i found it really interesting to see how Rankin could recreate their images and also how their photographs had made such an impact on the fashion industry.

Ellis Faas- A family affair


 The youtube clip of some of Ellis Faas,'s work i found reallyinteresting particularly the way she applied to makeup to the face. I really liked how the texture on the face looks like paint onto a canvas and the bold colours applied to the face are bold and really overexaggerated. The linework on some of her final looks are very sharp and edgy.
The overall message of Ellis Faas's work in the clip 'A family affair' is people showing there true colours.

Ellis Faas- identity revealed


Ellis explains her overall approach on her vairety of looks used in the clip' identity revealed' which i found really interesting
Ellis Faas. (/2014). identity revealed . Available: http://vimeo.com/109956784. Last accessed 25/10/2014.
 ."Since ancient times, humans have been using masks - in order to express power and authority; to feel self-confident; to stand out or to hide behind; to not be recognised and disappear into the masses. Not only by traditional masks, but also by disguising and ornamental elements such as clothing, jewellery, hair and makeup. But can one truly change one's identity, or is it merely a temporary transformation? And who or what defines someone's true identity? Is it the mask, is it the human being behind the mask, or maybe even the creator of the mask?"
In the video clip it is recognisable that the point Ellis is trying to get across is what is true identity. In the video clip Ellis's final looks are seen wearing masks or makeup applied in a certain way in order to become unrecognisable, during the video the models are seen taking off the masks and makeup and revealing their true identiy.

I really like how ellis has blended the red makeup into the white to almost act as a shadow in order to darken majority of the face and make the lips the main focus of the look.

I found the Ellis's application in this image really interesting the layering used in the image and variety of colours used on this look reminds me of an artists paint pallet .I also really like the texture Ellis has created.
I created a face chart inspired by one of Ellis Faas makeup designs, using the black and the grey from the kryolan pallet i blended the colours from light to dark on the face, in order to bring out the eyes i used a black from my supracolour pallet to outline them. In order to complete my look i finally applied a light pinkn from my kryolan lip pallet to the lips.
 
With my final Ellis Faas inspiration face chart i wasnt very happy with the outcome i felt the colours i applied to the face chart did not blend together well making the design look not very neat and patchy.

Kevyn Aucoin

Kevyn Aucoin- February 1962- May 7 2002
(Kevyn Aucoin photographer unkown)
(25/10/14)
Kevyn Aucoin was an american makeup artist, photographer and author. He began his career in 1983 when he arrived in New York city by bus with his portfolio, from there he was set work and had the chance to meet with vogue . He then began to work for Steven Meisel on a variety of couture shows and high end fashion shoots.

Kevyn became common in the makeup industry at the end of the 1980s he worked with many celebrities such as Cher, Janet Jackson and Gwenyth Paltrow.
'At age eleven, it was about controlling my environment. It was like ‘Let’s make pretend that everything is pretty, that everything is all right’
the quote above by Kevyn Aucoin i found very interesting , it highlights that from a young age he was always interested in makeup and considered it as his comfort zone.
In the 1990s Kevyn became generally quite successful on the business side of the makeup industry, he made his own cosmetic line called 'The Nakeds' which was a natural tone cosmetic line . Then he wrote two magazines 'face foward' and 'making faces' in 2001it was launched and sales hit the roof at $15,000 in only two hours!

I really like this overall look Kevyn has created . The pink colour contouring on the cheekbones and around the forehead works well due to the model having a light complexion and light hair. The applicqtion of the lip makeup really stand out due to Kevyn applying a bright colour and adding a slightly darker outline around the lips. the darker eye makeup around the eyes also works well due to the model having light blue eyes.

The image of the front cover of Kevyn Aucoins magazine published in 2001, i found really interesting . The magazine doesnt include a huge amount of colour, i like how hes kept the cover quite plain and not overaggerated. The overall look he's used on the face are neutral colours which can relate to 'The Nakeds' cosmetic line he launched . The overall message of the magazine title 'making faces' could be taken into consideration that when different styles colours and techniques are applied to the face particularly the features, the face changes ,by highlighting on the magazine the eyes, brows lips, nose and slightly the cheeks this can also relate to the magazine title and its message.

Pat Mcgrath, born in 1970 is a British makeup artist who has become one of the most influential and well known people in the fashion industry despite having no training . Pat has worked on catwalk shows; advertising campaigns and editorial shoots for some of the biggest publicatios in fashion.

I love the use of warm colours Pat McGrath has applied to the face and also how she has incorpated the hair into the makeup . the sleek wave down the front of the models head ties the whole look together.

"Everything goes into fashion," Pat McGrath once toldVogue. "It isn't just make-up... it's film, TV, history of art, books, clubs. The culture."
This overall look really sums up Pat's ambitions. The image does not just focus on the makeup element it also focuses on the design element the costume the model is wearing. This overall look reminds me of the history of the egyptian fashion, with the uses of blues and golds. I really like the colour scheme used on this look, the work well together .

This photograph mainly focuses on the photography element. It is noticable that the hue and saturation of the image has been edited so mainly pink tones are highlighted in the image . Overall i think this works well with the hair and makeup due to the models hair and skin complexion being quite light.  I really like how it is noticable that the convex areas of the face are shaded pink in order to bring them forward against the light skin complexion .

This has to be one of my favourite looks of Pat McGraths, due tot the variety of technque used, i loved how she has blend grey and black toned into the convex areas or the face in order to contrast against the white . I also love the sharp sleek linework used particularly around the eyes and slightly on the lips and the texture of the makeup around. I like how she has also thought about the costume element of this look not just the makeup, the outrageous costume design really helps the image to make its statement.

After researching into further detail about Val Garland i came across an interview on the 'vogue' website, which i found very interesting. The interview talks about vals highlights as a makeup artist which was her very first shoot in Australia and also working with John Gilliano. Her favourite elements of working as a make up aritst is shows something which involves working under pressure.

I love Vals interpretation of an analogus makeup look. I really like how powerful the colours are on the above and around the eyes this helps to bring the look alive. Also by Val Garland blanking out the eye brows and redrawing the with sleek brush stokes makes the eyes the main focuse of this look.

Romy. (09/04/2013). magic mushrooms. Available: http://stylemeromy.com/2013/04/magic-mushrooms/. Last accessed 25/10/14.

The magic mushroom look create by Val Garland for Mac cosmetics company is really interesting, i love the colour used on the look and the glitter like texture used on the face. When looking at the image the first things i am drawn to are the lips and the glitter situated around the face.
I love how Val has used a pale white base colour to apply to the face, this really contrasts against the lilac. Overall i really like this look as its very unique.

After doing some thorough reasearch on Val Garland, i really like her as an artist, i love how she is prepared and thinks outside the box her work is also very  neat and unique looking which makes her stand out from other artists in the industy .

 
I created a face chart which ressembled Val Garlands work, using the orange and yellow eyeshadow from the kryolan pallet and then the orange and yellow colours from the supracolour pallet i applied colour to the eyes, using the black from the supracolour pallet i created the eyebrows and the design underneath the eyes, in order to highlight the convex areas of the face i used a summer tan colour from my glamour glow pallet and finally to complete my look i applied a bright pink from my kryolan lip pallet to the lips.
 
I was happy with the final outcome of my face chart i feel the orange and yellow colours applied to the eyes works well, the only thing i could perhaps have improved on was making the black supracolour
I love blanked out eyebrows

Colour theory

Colour theory


The colour theory is a practical body of guidance to mixing colour. There a three basic colour theory's that are useful: the colour wheel, colour harmony and Colour context of how the colours may be used.

Will Kemp. (2011). how your hairdresser can teach you to mix colour.Available: http://willkempartschool.com/beginners-colour-mixing-acrylic-paint/. Last accessed 17/10/14

Colour wheel


The colour wheel also known as the colour circle is a abstract organisation of colour . The circle also shows the relationships between primary and secondary colours.the colour wheel is based on the three colours red yellow and blue. Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of art since then scientists and artists have researched into a variety of these concepts

Colour context


The colour scheme is a choice of of colours used in design for a range of media colour schemes are used to create style and appeal.colour context is observing the effects colours hae on each other. The noticeable differences in perception of colour are the relationship of values saturation and the warmth and coolness of colour.

Complimentary makeup

Complementary makeup is applying colours to the face which compliment each other

Own interpretation of complementary makeup firstly I applied OB2  cream base foundation using my foundation brush and the D9 concealer from my camouflage  concealer pallet under my eyes and nose then I applied concealer D11 to contour my cheekbones I then applied summer bronzer to over the contour and used a natural tan from my glamour glow pallet to act as a highlighter above my cheekbones brow line and centre of my forehead. I then applied a light brown and dark brown eyeshadow to bring out my eyes with mascara and an eyeliner pen. Finally On my lips I used from my camouflage pallet a natural colour which would compliment my eye colour and would tie the whole look together. 

overall i like the subtle look i created but feel i could have used more contouring in order to make my makeup look more complete.





I created a face chart conveying complimentary makeup using the different shades of purple from my kryloan pallet applied to the eyes, and the summer tan colour from my glamour glow pallet to highlight the convex areas of the face , i also used a nautral colour lip colour from my kryolan lip pallet to complete my look.

Analogus makeup

Analogus makeup is applying corresponding colour to the face
own interpretation of Analogus makeup using a facechart:



Firstly I began highlighting the convex areas of the face such as the cheekbones using the pinky colour named TO on my blusher pallet in the added the eyeshadow colours saffron which is a yellow colour black pepper which is a black colour on my pallet and lemon grass which is a green colour to the eyes to create and Analogus look. I then used my eyeliner pen to highlight the outline of the eyes and eyelashes . Finally I used a pink colour on my lip pallet LC009 and applied it to the lips to bring the whole look together.

Overall i like the analogus look i created on the face chart but feel i could have incorporated more colour to the eyes.
I created another analogus makeup design using colours from the kryolan eyeshadow pallet , firstly i applied the shallot purple from my kryolan pallet to highlight the convex areas of the face, i then used the chile blossom pink and yellow from the kryolan pallet to highlight certain areas of the face. I then applied the same three colours around the eyes and using the black supra colour outline the eyes and the eyebrows to complete my design. Using the pink and the purple from the supracolour pallet i applied colour to the lips.
 
I am happy with the outcome of my final analogus face chart design i like how the colours work well together however the only thing i would change is the colour applied to the lips i feel it ruins the look and makes the lips application look messy.

This was the inspiration for my second attempt at an analogus face chart design i liked how the colours were blended together well around the eyes and decided to using the same technique around the eyes and the face.

Monochromatic makeup

Monochromatic makeup is applying different shades tints and tones of the hue to the face.

Own Interpretation of the Monochromatic look using a face chart:

For my own interpretation of the Monochromatic look I firstly began layering up the saffron colour eyeshadow from my pallet to the cheekbones forehead and chin . I then brought out the eyes using the black colour from my supra colour pallet around the eyes to act as an eyeliner and to the creases of the eyelids to make the look overall my sharp and effective I also extended the lines on the eyeliner . I then added from my supra colour pallet a Bold yellow colour much darker than the product used on the cheek bones to the eyelids. Finally to finish the look off I also add the same colour used on the eyelids to the lips but also added a white from the supra colour pallet to the outline of the lips to make the lip colour look slightly lighter than the colour used on the eyes. As you can see when creating my Monochromatic look I used a variety of different products to create different shades for each area of the face.

Overall i like the face chart i designed for the monochromatic look it clearly portrays the use of one colour and really highglights the lips and the eyes.
For my monochromatic design i used the two shades of pink from the kryolan pallet to highlight the different areas on the face, i then used the pink from my supracolour pallet to create the eyebrows and eyelashes and finally to complete my look i used a bright pink from the kryolan lip pallet and applied white eyeshadow around the outline of the lips to make the lips look overall more lighter.
 
Overall i was happy with how i applied the two shades of pink to the face chart in order to highlight the certain areas of the face however the things i would have changed was the eyelashes .

This photograph was the inspiration for my second monochromatic face chart i like how the colour on the eyes is blended together and how it is highlighted with a metallic colour underneath the brow line to bring out the eyes.

Chromatic makeup

nonymous. (unknown). Achromatic. Available: http://www.pinterest.com/cathmabailey/achromatic/. Last accessed 17/10/14.


Achromatic makeup is applying blacks grey tones and neutral colours to the face.

Own interpretation of the Achromatic look:




In order to create this Achromatic look I firstly applied OB2 foundation to my face and neckand blended it in with my foundation blush I used a smaller blending brush to cover the area around my eyes and nose.  I then used my buffer blush to blend the product into the face leaving no patches. I used concealer D9 on the creases of my eyes under my eyes and nose .
I the  started to contour my look by adding concealer D11 from my camouflage pallet to the cheekbones and blending it in with my finger and then buffer brush I then applied the product under my nose slightly and on my temples and blended the product in. I used blusher 101 over the contour on my cheekbones nose and forehead. I then used pale tan from my glamour glow pallet to act as a highlighter I applied this to my cheekbones brow line and centre of my forehead. Next I added from my supra colour pallet a black to act as an eye liner and also applied this to the crease on my eyelid and lips. I then added pale white eyeshadow to my eyelids and some mascara to finish the Achromatic look.

overall i really like the chromatic look i created it shows the use of black and neutral colours and contouring in the cheekbones is also highlighted.
I created a achromatic  face chart by using the black eyeshadow from the kryolan pallet to highlight the convex areas of the face i then used the illamasqua neutral pallet to highlight the eyelid crease and brow line on the eye to complete the application to the eyes i outline the eyes using a black form my supracolour pallet which i also applied to the lips.
 
Overall i am very happy with the outcome of the achromatic face chart i feel the application of makeup applied to the eyes works well and is symetrical, the only thing i would improve on is perhaps making the lip application neater.
