I drew up some hair designs for my PENUMBRA photoshoot. Initially I wanted to keep the focus on the make-up and lighting, so I opted for a slick-back ponytail with dead straight hair so as not to cause distraction from the rest of the image. It was inspired by the nude, calm feelings I gathered form my moodboard, and is more in theme with the 'light' side to the concept of shadows and penumbra.
Next I wanted to take a darker approach, creating feelings of moodiness and mystery. So I designed a textured, centre-parted style, where the hair will hang over the face and frame it. There will be added volume at the crown.
Finally I tried to combine the two - I think this is my favourite design. I feel like it follows the theme of 'light meets dark' - the sleek ponytail at the front, with added volume above the forehead, and then the messy, backcombed and curled, voluminous ponytail. This look was partly inspired by MAC Cosmetics 'To Live' promotion video. Even though the models in the video were dressed in white with pale skin and hair, there was still a sense of darkness and almost evil in the video - perfect for the concept of 'light meets dark.'
