Lady of the Lava Lamp

Yet another of my hectic shoots. i broke my lava lamp trying to get out my tripod :-( but the light base proved a handy prop! AND, my fluro pink eye shadow is refusing to come off, so my driving instructor is in for a bit of a shock.

The image was taken in my room, again, and the inspiration was a shoot in Vogue called 'College Girl'. I loved the clashing colours and the busyness of the photographs feautured and wanted to try and recreate this in a self portrait. Please exscuse the new obsession with self p's, I feel it's my weakest area, so trying to improve :-)

I used a lot of props, including the lava lamp base, a photo of the barcelona cathedral in the background, huge shiny glasses and countless pieces of jewellery.

In editing I decided to use a white border to create a polaroid type image, and also added an aging effect.
