Within this image I was aiming to recreate the icon Bailey image of Jean Shrimpton. For this I analysed the original image looking at the body language, expression, clothing and make up so that I could adapt her persona to the best of my ability which means I can create a good representation of the original photograph.
There are definite similarities coming through within this image but I believe that it can be a lot stronger by improving certain aspects. The arms need to be stronger and more balanced within the frame, for this I need to lower the arm touching my head and bring the back arm around more creating a defined shape. I think my chin also needs to be raised a little more to create a space between that and my arm, this will add a nicer shape and composition. My face needs to be more towards the light so that it is less in shadows, this can be easily fixed by moving my body so that the light is further around my figure. Lastly the hair movement is regreatably absent in this image, I think this is a defining factor in the original image and therefore needs to be present within my representation.
I will work on these improvements within my next shoot in which I will focus purely on this image to create a stronger outcome.
