Colour Studies Assignment 1- Sensually Red

The following images show my take on the word and colour swatch that I was given. The word that I was given was 'sensual', from this the first thing that came into my head was to produce a number of "raunchy" and quite intimate photographs of a semi-nood model. I decided to act on my first instinct and set about finding a willing model. The colour swatch I received included 6 different shades of pinks and reds which i decided to incorporate into the photographs through the lighting of the model. To achieve the red light, I painted a piece of clear plastic with some paint which was a similar colour to that on the colour swatch and placed it over a small lamp. 

To try and get a woman's point of view on how one would hold themselves during a sensual moment, I asked the model what sort of stances do you find stereotypically 'sensual' and the above image shows the stance that she took too herself.

During the shoot i decided to keep the direction of light onto the model the same to give a sense of consistency throughout the photographs.

I purposely kept the brightness of the photograph quite low to enhance the sexual feel of the photographs.

I decided to not edit any of the photographs because I felt that if I was to mess with the brightness or levels of the photographs then this make take something from them.

I am happy with the way that the photographs have turned out and and particularly pleased with the effectiveness of the red light which I made.
