Candyfloss shoot

I had originally designed the candyfloss to be a headband, but after experimenting with the styling whilst doing the shoot I found that it worked better as a necklace. I was very happy with how the make-up and hair turned out because it perfectly encapsulated the candy land idea. However, I feel like the lighting made the image look considerably colder and more dark. I like the shadowing of the image but it does contrast with the idea of candy. I wanted the images to look very colourful, light and fluffy to mimic the concept of candyfloss. However, that mood isn't reflected in the images. I also feel like the lips look very dry, whereas adding some gloss may have made the image look a bit more lively. I wanted the lips to look like they were covered in sugar, however that didn't translate very well on camera. I feel like if I had had a photographer on set, they would have been able to play with the lighting much better than I did. Then I would have had more of a variety of images to choose from. Despite this, I do like the way the images have turned out because there are some beautiful close ups of the candyfloss.
