Assignment ( Artist research and different developments)

Alexander Khokhlov - Photographer/Artist;

The reason why i have chosen this photographer/artist is because it ties in with everything i am doing, his work is full of face art and different textures.
He likes to transform people into different forms, the projects that he does combines techniques of face-art, photography and decoration.

What i liked most about his work is that he covers the models face, or he changes the effect on the model for a different outcome.
The social media outcome that i tried to work on is "why do girls change their appearance so much just to impress" so because they are editing their facial shape and adding on all of this make-up it changes everything about them, which is what Alexander has tried to do in his work.

All of Alexanders work have a different outcome they're not all the same, the way the make-up is applied, the lighting of the photo and the angle the photo's are taken at make every photo different - Its exactly the same with every girl they will use different shades of make-up, different lightings and they all use a different angle to take the photo because some people only like one side of their face.


Different developments (before and after); 

All of the before photos are of girls/women without makeup on, all the after photos are go the girls/women with editing done to the facial shape, lighting and loads of make-up added to their faces.

All of them look perfectly fine without the make-up on, its social media like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter where girls/women get comments on their photos getting told if they're beautiful or not ... if they are going to get nice comments on how they look or horrible comments.

I used a range of techniques for editing the faces, once applying all of the makeup i had to download an app on to my iPhone to do some of the editing,
at home i edited the facial shapes on my computer and took the photos in different lighting.
