My final photo shoot was to be inspired by the star sign Aries. I worked with a photography student, who ironically was an Aries herself! The photo shoot tells the story of a wealthy woman who is a boss and shows her short-tempered and aggressive personality. When researching into the star sign, I was greatly inspired by the Aries personality and also the Aries colour which is red, hence the red lipstick and red shoes. Aries are the leaders of the pack, this is why I came up with the idea of a wealthy boss. I used diamond jewellery as the gemstone for Aries is diamond and diamonds show wealth. I used the psychology of colour when I chose the black clothing, as it means dominance, business-minded and elegance in the context of this photo shoot. The lighting set-up was important in this photo shoot because I had to make the photo shoot fit in with the photography style of I-D magazine. I am really pleased with the outcome and I think this is by far the best photo shoot I have done.
Wealthy woman walks to a meeting at work as a boss, looking confident.
One of her empolyees angers her as he isn't doing his job properly.
She shows her employee how angry she is and tells him to do his job properly or there will be consequences.
