The Red Queen

Hair Styling, crown, make up and photography - Myself

Model - Ashleigh Dalziel

This photoshoot's brief was based upon 'self made hats'. We each had to create a hat by ourselves (whether it be a plastic bag or something that took about a day to make slaving over the sewing machine) and present it on a model in a theme of our own. I chose the theme of 'Alice in Wonderland', having my hat representing the 'Red Queen'. The angle I was going for was a fierce look upon the models face with a slight fragile body language to portray the characters hidden vulnerability. The shadows seen were created in capture and enhanced with the use of desaturation on photoshop. I made the image with a lot of empty background, not only to give the image breathing space, but to give the impression the Red Queen (who is seen to be an evil character) is coming out of the darkness.
