Project Evaluation

This project has been a big test on time management and creativity. Choosing Chanel as my brand was definitely the right choice for my project as I felt I could push the shoots in more of a artistic style. Doing the project of Beauty is Boring earlier into this university year has definitely helped with this project from lesson times such as dewy skin and applying a great base for shoots but I feel like both project's have really pushed me creativity. In my first year I wasn't confident with my makeup and felt shyer working on a range of models which definitely held me back. This project and year in all has definitely expanded my creativity and confidence with finding models and application of makeup. 

In lesson's I feel like I've become more confident in hair styling and definitely in lesson time where we've really been looking into skin and applying base's. I feel like the year has had a lot more free reign with the makeup but I do look forward to going back for third year and having more creative lesson's 

At the beginning of the project I think I found it difficult to push all my idea's for different shoots into really connecting them well to Chanel this was before of course fashion week and shows like the Korea Seoul show which I found as huge inspiration's for my editorial shoot which was a favourite. Finding out information about catwalk shows and editorial and beauty campaigns was definitely helped by the help of Vogue online and fashion magazines such as Vogue and pop which though different have great Chanel editorial prints in. My favourite part of the project and what I enjoyed doing the most was probably planning the shoots and the makeup especially the Shoot 2 and Shoot 5 which are favourites as they are artistic and the location's I think are really interesting. 

New techniques that I've learnt doing this project would definitely learning more technical things such as within photography and photoshop which I've grown confident with from all the shoots that I've been doing for the project. I definitely think though that this entire year has given me a lot more confidence with my work. A technique that I want to definitely learn more about would probably be developing my photography skills more which I'm interested in.

The project's been really successful for me because of how creative and vast the theme's of each shoot have been though obviously all for Chanel they are different in the genre sense and feel of the photographs. Choosing Chanel as my project was definitely the best decision for me. Chanel I've discovered even more is how creative the brand is even more so then I had already anticipated. I have true respect for the clothes and what Coco Chanel started and what Karl Lagerfeld has been doing with the fashion house. 

I've noticed that I have started having a style with my work and like to be creative with the makeup which have definitely been developed with the project. I think the one thing I need to improve about is probably just shooting more as in grabbing a camera and finding even more great locations to shoot in.
