Final Art Piece: Glitter Queen

   

These are a few of the photos I put in my sketchbook for my art final piece at the start of the month, inspired by 1970s glamour, Ziggy Stardust, Petra Collins' and Miles Aldridge's photography. My lovely friend Rachel modelled for me, and kindly let me completely improvise and do her face paint as a glittery alien queen. I used projections and coloured acetate over the lens to manipulate the colour and lighting. 

Praise the 99p store for all my sparkly props and tinsel <3 <3

I recently saw some of Arvirda Bystrom's photography in Vice magazine (here) and I found it really inspiring and beaautiful so I looked at her other photography and it made me want to just find a ton of other pictures similar to it and collect them all together like a mood board. I liked her self portraits the most (she has the coolest pink hair ever) and that's the kind of vibe I was looking for when I went google-image hunting: the sticker-crazed, bubblegum pink, internet queen, glittery, alien, techno sorta thing..
