Death masks

In class with Sharon we created our own death mask photographs using make-up and our phone cameras. We began by taking a selfie and turning it black and white we then adjusted the contrast to give it a more dramatic and harsh shadowed effect, we used this photo to work from and tried to create the same look on our own faces using black and white Supracolor greasepaints. When we had finished we took another selfie on our phone and changed it to black and white, after this we adjusted the setting and compared them to the initial photograph.
