Hair Advert Photographs:
With this series of photographs, I stuck to my original idea generation by having her side profile and taking photos of her gradually putting her hair up and pointing the product at the camera. I'm really happy with these photographs as the lighting made a real impact on these photos, I also like how she was side profile as it gave a clear view of her hair. Also, the composition of the where she's placed within the frame, I really like this as she's in the middle of the frame which sets up the shots. I also like that there is an equal white background on either side of her, as this makes it look more professional.
I chose to do photographs instead of filming because I like the way the photos look, as I think that a video really wouldn't have looked as dramatic. I think that the clarity of these photos is really interesting as the first three are really sharp and can see the pieces of hair. On the fourth photograph I chose to have a soft focus, as I thought that it would look quite effective, however now I think it should have been more in focus. The last image I really like as she's showing the product off and I also like the fact that we see her face, it's not full profile which I think is more effective than if it was in full profile view.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this sequence of photographs, if I could change anything within this series would be the fact that the fourth image is in a soft focus I would have made sure that it was in full focus.
