Story Board For Editorial

Story Board For Editorial Shoot ...

I have created a visual story board which has inspirations for my shoot on, i have ideas for lighting, makeup and poses on here. 

I really love the vibrant energy i get from this story board, helps me visualize exactly what i want to do in my shoot.

I go the idea for this shoot from the word Photo Chemistry, once i searched in depth about what it meant i came across the words ultraviolet light, and chemical reaction.

When i think of the word ultraviolet light i think of bright colours, non natural colours. This gives me the idea of using a plain background makeup look then having one or two bright statement colours on the face like the image in the top right where she is quite plain, hair and makeup very natural then having the statement colour of orange/red running up the hands and winged eye liner. 

When i thought of the word chemical reaction i thought of explosions of chemicals, clouds of smoke and dust. I then done some more research into the word photo chemistry and came across the effects it has on the environment which was a chemical smog which effects global warming. 

Both of those elements put together reminded me of the Holi Festival Of Colour which i have done more research on another blog post. This shows an explosion of colour and a dust cloud after which looks like a bright colorful chemical smog. 

The story board above shows the take on my research and how i will be using my research and putting it towards creating an editorial shoot.

In the shoot i would like to include powder paints to represent the ultraviolet light and the Holi Festival, i will also be using a plain canvas makeup look like the image in the bottom left image i think this will make the powder paint stand out more. 

As its an editorial piece i really wanted to have a story behind it and a reason for the image, and i want that to include the Holi Festival moto of everyone coming together and forgetting everything that's going on in the world and have fun, but also show the problems in the world by putting something in the image which shows global warming and how its harming nature. 

The idea i have had to represent this is by using dried roses or flowers, maybe painted black. I will be using these to show that everyone needs to come together to fight these issues of global warming, and like the Holi Festival where their moto is everyone coming together which is represented by the powder paint.
