This makeup palette image is one of my favorites from Catherine's photography because the way she has assembled all the palettes is very unique yet quite simple. Catherine has carefully chosen where to place the pallets, especially the ones with mirrors because they then reflect the other pallets with no mirrors. She has got a colour scheme, the colours on the palettes are all cool colours or neutral.

This photography is very Vogue and incredibly hectic. Catherine has candles, petals, flowers, lots of love heart shaped stuff, a heel in the main center of attraction, and the colour choice is very girly as she has used a large amount of pink. The bright pink and baby blue is a good match as they don't clash. The writing says 'VOGUE ACCESSORY' which shows the photograph has been taken to advertise Vogue. Using studio lighting she has achieved dramatic shadows, this fits well with the magazine 'VOGUE'.

Using just a radiator and one bottle of Chanel perfume, Catherine was very clear about what she wants the audience to focus on. The light shade of orange as a background colour really makes the bottle stand out because the spray is a golden yellow colour. This is one of the few pictures where she has chosen to do one object and keep that in the spotlight.

The simplicity of this photograph is what really caught my eye. The plain black and white tops are just hung up on hangers on a rack possibly in a retail shop for an advertisement.

The use of pink white and cream all being spread across the photo is very smart, because even the bottom piece of the trees are colour coordinated. Ira has creasted a nice perspective

Plan For First Shoot:
For my first shoot I am going to gather about 6 or 7 makeup palettes to lay out the way Catherine does and recreate her photograph. I am going to find a box (preferably glass) so I can sit 2 of the palettes on top. Also for the background and the base I am going to get light blue card or paper to set the scene. |
Catherine Losing uses a lot of pastel colours and cosmetic products in her pictures which is where Iv'e got the idea of using light colours and makeup products. These items are stuff that are used in everyday life and look pretty. For me beauty means:
