Overall..

I am really pleased with the outcome of my project, and hope i portrayed each character to their full potential. I have developed both my technical and practical skills. During this time on the project, i realised there are many key points that i still need to concentrate on, e.g the hair, and have found the characters in-capturing and at times challenging. 

I hope you will be pleased with my development throughout this unit.

Miss Havisham Final Images

Here are my final images from the Miss Havishams shoot. I decided to crimp my mums hair and spray it white, but only on the roots. My main reason for this was because Miss Havisham is still quite young, 40-45, so she will not have grey hair, however due to all the stress and pain in her life, she will have grey roots, which i have tried to show. I exaggerated the bags under her eyes, showing her weakness.

A big problem of mine was not being able to have latex, as i had to shoot this outside studio times, so i endeavoured to make the skin look as old and worn as possible. 

I used shades of purples and browns to emphasise Miss Havishams scratched hands.

Enjoy;

I decided to add a cross to show Miss Havishams deteriorating state of mind and her hope of salvation.

Miss Havisham's Hands

Miss Havishams hands play a very important role in the story. It shows her self-multilation.Miss Havisham is constantly scratching her hand, was an interesting touch that added another layer to her manic obsessions. At times she seemed completely insane and incapable of self-possession. Here are some screenshots and some images; I would like to portray this some way in my final image.

Final Images-Estella

sneak peak

Here is a sneak peak of my Estella shoot, the final images will be following this post, however i need to  do a bit of retouching, i hope you enjoy...

 As you can see, Estella is shy of the camera.

Flowers in her hair

I found these lovely flowers in fabric land for Estellas hair. They are a dark red colour, just like red wine, and will go perfectly with her jewellery that she will be wearing. 

Older Victorian Women..

Below i have researched portraiture of older victorian women, to get an idea of facial structure, hair, skin type etc. As you will see however, none of them portray Miss H's character (skeleton like, pale, sorrowful.) The images below show that the skin is almost perfect, with a pinky cheek blush, however i will create Miss Havisham how i have perceived her from all my research.
