These are fashion based portraits but i think that they are really beautiful. I have put these in just as references and also as i like the positioning of the models. Something a little different from the plain straight on shot.

Has a square format. The model is centre of the image and also takes up the majority of the frame height wise so that you can see her body rather than having loads of black empty space at the top of the image. natural styling make up and hair. I think the lighting used is really soft and doesn't make a dramatic look. Its simple and classic and i think quite timeless. 

This image on the other hand is really over styled with full make up and hair. Looks as though it isn't in a studio with the look of the background. Loads of highlighted areas on the models face suggests a harsher flash. maybe a little bit of natural lighting coming into play here too. 

This image below is really over styled and is more of a fashion image than a simple portrait but the reason that i wanted to use it is to show how lines can be crossed and how images can get referenced and inspiration to older images or paintings and this one i think really resembles a pre-Raphaelite image called the bridesmaid. Maybe this is something that i could use to help me. Look at old paintings and see how i can be influenced.

 

Maybe its me just looking for similarity's but as soon as i seen the image of Lily Cole this is the first thing that popped into my head.
