60’s Photoshoot – Zine

When i was planning to do a 60’s inspired photoshoot i went straight to Pinterest to build up ideas and to get ideas from photographers looking a the style of the photograph, the styling, backgrounds and editing.

I didn’t want to replicate the photos exactly but i liked the colours used and took this as my colour pallet for my photoshoot and zine theme. I also liked the fact that even though you can tell the pictures are posed its fun and carefree with the two models, there for i used two friends to get that chemistry across in my photos as i wanted the same effect. I tested out colour and black and white editing to see what looked best with my photos, however i did sway towards preferring the colour photos because of how much the outfits stood out and the black and white lost this element, though i did use black and white for two pictures within my zine because a lot of iconic 60’s photos espesially ones with Twiggy are black and white.



These photos being a few i selected and edited for my zine, doing the photoshoot on location, looking at   different locations to get the perfect backdrop, finding different locations to work with the inspiration i have taken from some 60’s fashion photos. The car was a perfect find and fit well with the style i wanted to portray, the white house and stairs stood out to me and i wanted to use this as the location as the makes the yellow and red stand out above everything else. Even though my zine topic is Twiggy i focused of colour and i think that was i have i managed to make stand out through out both my photoshoots.

60’s Make-up

I knew as as soon as i picked Twiggy as a topic for my zine that i wanted to do a photoshoot dedicated to the make up of the 60’s looking at iconic looks Twiggy wore and 60’s make up trends looking at the colours that were worn and how.

I looked at the colours, the contrasts, eye shadow and liner shapes. The most common look was the bold black eyeliner with a catlike and cut crease line with the nude lip so this was definitely  work from and adapt to the models face. I look that i really like that i saw used within fashion magazine’s through the 60’s was the bright blue eye shadow, a typical 60’s look that isn’t as bold when used today in fashion. I used the blue eye show and but stuck with  the classic Twiggy eye liner shape but i did use a pink lipstick to completely clash with the blue, i didn’t want it to bold as the eye was the statement bit but also wanted to work to clashing vibrant colours throughout the look.

60’s make-up was always bold and vibrant working and matching with the outfit, if that was having clashing colours or matching. I enjoyed the make up and going over dramatic so it worked well on camera with the head shots i did so through my other photoshoot i will still like to use the make up as a stand out section to each photo.
