Ink 31st March 2014

This shoot shows the reflection stage after the break up, where some people may decorate their bodies in order to commemorate loved ones or to symbolise their strength in life.

The model who I am waiting to use had many tattoos all symbolising people in his life who have meant a lot whether he has unfortunately lost them of they are still in his life, he uses his body as a canvas and decorates it in a way he wants to.

Here is the moodboard I created below which will show the kind of theme and style I want to create for my magazine. This one will contrast to any other as I will be using a topless male model. I don't want a sexual vibe with the pictures, I want it to look intimate and personal showing emotion and art. 

To do:

• Edit these images with the correct tone and lighting 
• Write a piece to go with this series - interview the model?
• Send them over to the graphic designer 

Here are the final images below. I am happy with the model and the simplicity although i wish I had done that on location for a more intimate feel e.g. a bedroom or a living area which had natural lighting. I also wish I had more a range of angles to chose from, though I will only use two images from this shoot in my final copy.
