'when i was a child the pencil was creative and uncertain and could be changed easily, there was no fear of making mistakes. I remember desks covered in rubber shavings and jaggy pencil sharpenings getting stuck in my tights.
as an adult pencils are the tools of my femininity, enhancing my features, smudges must be fixed, theyre used in a very precise way. I write in pen the majority of the time like i was taught to do after leaving primary school
Do pencils still hold the child-like joy and creativity for me as an adult?'
So the child portrait will have a little bit of nostalgia and some of the elements ive mentioned, maybe some childs drawings or face painting included.The next image would be the adult me conforming to beauty standards through makeup, ive done similar to this as part of the last project with instagram so im good with that. The last image will be the creative adult, so i get to be as crazy as i want and really expressive and excessive.
In the last post i mentioned Alex Box the creative director of beauty brand Illamasqua, i really love their promotional images and campaigns so im looking into their images as a bit of inspiration on how to photograph and edit makeup.
