Pinterest images as inspiration

MAC Vamplify Lipgloss campaign with Kaitlin Aas


I have chosen these three images as my favourites from my Pinterest collection. The first one from the MAC 'Vamplify' campaign has the pose I like - her head tilted back, and her eyes half closed with her mouth parted to emphasise her lips - and also it has very shadowy lighting, which fits with my word 'penumbra.' However, it has quite a dark undertone, whereas my interpretation of 'penumbra' includes the idea of 'light meets dark,' so for my work I would like to create a more gentle, brighter mood as well to contrast the shadows and bold lips. 
The second and third photos demonstrate the cropping and composition I like, as well as the pose - again, the head tilt, the eyes, and the emphasised lips. I also love the lighting effects. The backgrounds are black and parts of the model's faces are in shadow - perfect for 'penumbra', and also in theme with a lot of MAC imagery, which often contains dark backgrounds. The patterned shadows are something I would like to use in my work, through the use of gobos.
