Ritual - 'Daily Ritual'

We created a character of a young single woman in her late 20’s who loves being at home, spending time with her dog and taking care of herself, making sure we included lots of pink and girly props into the photographs to again show the character of the woman. We added some twists to the average daily activities for example, doing hair and make – up before exercising to show she is glamorous and doesn't like to start her day without her make – up, breakfast being just a few seeds in a bowl which she has measured with numerous measuring cups which shows she is conscious of her weight and walking the dog again dolled up showing she cares more about her looks than her comfort.

On the day of the shoot we met at Molly’s house which she kindly let us use as our location, we all arrived at around 11am and our model had her make – up done whilst we organised the outfits etc. We wanted to photograph in one of the bathrooms for a scene where she is brushing her teeth but unfortunately the light wasn't the best and it made the photographs not flow as well as a series. The day ran as smoothly as it could of and we managed to think of different scenes when some of the scenes we had arranged to do didn't quite look the part, we communicated well as a team on the day and all contributed to each scene. 

If I could change anything about the final images it would be the models hair as I don’t think the curls suited the character we were going for, the lighting and some of the locations. I feel we took too many images in the bedroom so the final images lack variety. Some of my favourite images include the waking up scenes on the bed as I think the pink and white are a great contrast.
