Music student photography, Evaluation

I was given a task to photograph a vocalist, Keeley Pratt, to come up with the ideas and create the overall feel and personality of this artist in an outdoor location image and also an inside shoot. When I first met up with Keeley to discuss ideas and understand what kind of artist she is she told me she likes simplicity, she wanted to show herself as a simple, elegant and glamorous character, for this I already had plenty of ideas as to what I could do to create her overall look in an image, suggesting a simple black dress for the shoot to both compliment the artist and show her as an elegant  character definitely worked in my benefit, I was able to use a simple desk fan to make the dress blow and look glamorous like the client wanted, when discussing in feedback she was pleased with this and the way I had taken these photos in that way. Using a honeycomb light shining directly on the right side of the artist during the studio shoot created the exact lighting I was hoping for once edited, I only used two lights in the studio shoot, on location it was all natural light, this made it more of a task for me to find the perfect lighting that would compliment both the client and the overall photograph. When editing I added slight tints, in some more blue and others a more pink/purple, I done this because when researching a certain photographer I liked the most had done this in her photos I wanted to take inspiration from this and try it myself, it paid off and I was pleased with the overall outcome, my client was happy with her photos and said although she would have liked more studio shots the ones that were done were what she wanted.
