Character Shoot

I asked two girls to model for me since I have two characters, Jan and Janet. However on the day I planned to shoot one of them said they couldn't come. This was unfortunate, I had to think fast and change my entire shoot plan. I decided to treat this shoot as an experiment and tester shoot. I did the make up and looks for the extreme super villain version of Jan and did a few shots.  I tried to make it work with just one model but it just did not capture the mood I wanted.

I really wanted to do some shots of my model teepeeing my house. Teepeeing is when you cover someones house with toilet paper, it is a prank lots of people do in America. I thought this would be a funny way to show Jan is a rebel. However it was raining so I could not exactly throw toilet paper all over my house. Instead I threw it around my living room. It didn't turn out as good as I hoped, infact I really did not like it all. But it was good practice and better than doing nothing.  

I used the bamboo graphic tablet to draw over on of photos in a similar way that I did the other day. I felt like it turned out pretty interesting. Hopefully when I do get the chance to shoot both my models I can do a similar thing. I would like to create a set of photo illustrations that I can lay out in a comic book style format and print. 

The following image is one I create with the bamboo tablet. This was my favourite of the shots I took in my teepeed living room.
