3. This kind of style of portraiture
photography is how I would like my
photography to look like. I like the
immediate focus on the face and the slight
contrast of colours as it really brings out
the different features on the face and
draws attention to them.
One feature I look at straight away when I
look at this photograph is the eyes. They are
very piercing and contrasting. I would like
replicate this in at least one of the images.
Variation from this would also be good to
portray more emotion in different ways.
Different angles will also allow my photos to
look different.
With my plan I want to replicate the room
colours by using make up. The image on
the right you can see how the make up
artist tied the red eye shadow, lipstick &
nail vanish. I like the way all the colours tie
together as it really shows a consistent
theme.
There will be a colour scheme that will be
featured within each room. These colours will
have different connote different feelings e.g.
the red in the picture on the left connotes
love & lust.
This is one of the rooms in Nunnington
Hall. From this photograph, you can see
that the primary colours used are brown
and off-white. These colours contrast but
work well together so if I were to
photograph in this room the make up on
the models face would work well together.
Colour co-coordinating is important for my
project.
In other rooms of the house, you will feel
different things which will again be portrayed
through the models facial expressions & the
colour of make up featured on her face. In this
room you can also see dead animals, which
gives the room an eerie feeling which would
be interesting to replicate through the models
facial expressions and make up colours.

4. • Hopefully (what my plan is) I can bring the three ideas from the photos I looked at on the slide above
and successfully bring them altogether into my own idea.
• The theme overall is discovery, although I have researched some of the rooms at Nunnington Hall, I
will overall be discovering the rooms for the first time. This will allow me to think on the spot & be
spontaneous in my thinking (emotions wise & creative wise with the make up).
• I have chosen to look at the colour of the room & the feeling of the room. With this information, I will
try & replicate this colour & feeling in portrait form. I will so this by using make up & facial
expressions. To link with the theme of discovery, I am waiting until the day to find out the context,
colour & feeling of a room. I will be discovering this & I will discover along the way constant themes
throughout the house.
• Although my plan is to discover the rooms once I am in the house, I have looked at a few rooms that
can be found & categorized to find the main colours. I will be doing this on the day. The colours
connote different feelings & emotion, as does the architecture of the room. I want the model to
interpret these emotions into a facial expression whilst I look at the colours & put these on her face.
One of the images I looked at is of a subject with different colours on her face. I like the idea of the
merging of colours & how they work and contrast against one another.
• The main portraiture photographer I have gained inspiration from is Martin Schoeller, as his portraits
are very vivid with colour & are focused only on the face. Another photograph I looked at has a green
background & a slight green filter which makes the overall image cold & links the colours together. I
could do something like this for my photographs.
