These are my final images based on our modern takes a character from 'Cabaret' influenced through club culture. I felt that my final images worked well and i was pleased with the outcome the hair was my strongest point and i loved the effect that i achieved having practised my wet finger waves i feel that this was successful. The makeup i further felt worked and portrayed my research although this not reminiscent of a contemporary 1920's look the finger wave and kiss curls influenced the contemporary 1920's twist on the design. Before the final Shoot i decided against using the hair tinsel when i looked at the overall look i felt that the tinsel was too much and distracted away from the hair structure something i feel was the strongest point to my design.
Having shot these images and through peer feedback some people found the image very comical and cartoon like, although the images are not attractive and comical i like this, i feel it portrays more that New Berlin flamboyant, extravagant and crazy Club kid having been very inspired by the icons of club culture this look holds strong reference to Icons such as Leigh Bowery, Michale Algie and Amanda Lepore creating a look that pushes boundaries between male, female, colour, shape and texture having incorporated this into all element of my design including styling.
I am very pleased with the final images although i feel that if i were to re shoot this i would have made the kiss curls the same colour as the pink finger waves, although this blended well as they created a nice transition into the jacket.
