SDP: Part 1 - Painting for Inspiration Styling Project Evaluation


Overall I am very happy with the result of this project; I think the final photo is a success and closely resembles the original image while changing the context and making it more contemporary.  I am pleased with my styling skills and the way the costume looks, I set out to keep the militant look and combine it with punk and I think it works well.  I think the photo is a success interpretation of 'A Dead Soldier' and I think I edited it well to make it look better and enhance certain aspects to make it work.  If I were to re-do this project I would perhaps wait to take the photo a bit later in the day and if I had more time I would have waited for weather that would have created a similar look to the original.  I think there are a few things I could have done better, the badges should have been on the other side of the jacket so you can see them and the handcuffs are a little bit lost when the model lies down.  I am pleased with location I found and I think it works really well and the positioning of the model is exactly what I wanted.  I think my research really helped me create this look and I believe I managed to recreate the punk style and do it justice.  I am happy with my final image, and while there are a few things I would tweak, I think I achieved what I wanted to from this project, gained experience in styling for the camera and have a result that I am proud of.
