Re-Creating A Man Ray Photograph

I have looked at quite a few photographs and have decided to Re-Create this photo:


I will be doing it in the studio at college with a few friends to help me out.
One of my friends has kindly volunteered to model for me.

I have thought about how I would include the music symbols to my picture and have come up with two solutions: I will take two photographs, one will be in black and white and the other will be in colour. I will then edit them both and see which I like best.

The resources I will need will be: 
-The Studio
-Lighting
-A Model
-Camera
-Tripod
-A Table (For the model to sit on)
-A Blanket, Towel (To rap around her)
-Black Background

Set-up in the studio

I used the beauty dish.

And this really bright little light.

This was how the room was set up for the shoot. The table in the middle with a light each side. For the first few shots I only used the beauty dish and then used them both.

These are just with the beauty dish.

Then I started using both lights because one side of her body was quite dark.

The shots I decided to use were:



I thought they worked the best symmetrically.

Final Images




I then tried having a go at putting a tattoo on her.
