Kelvin Barron is one of the most recognisable fashion stylists, he has worked with designers such as; Kim West, Michelle Keegan, Noelle Reno and Tolula Adeyemi.

Kelvin Barron uses materials that would not typically be seen in everyday life. His outfits consist mainly of leather or latex, which creates a very sexualised look about his styling. is styling has been shown on red carpets, and has been televised, this is because of his connections with a vast amount of celebrities.

Hairstyles to suit your face shape. A round face shape suits a short hair cut, but you can get away with a medium length cut, this emphasises your neck length and stops the attention from being drawn to your fuller cheeks.
A heart shaped face suits a short hair cut, it emphasises your perfectly shaped jawline and chin, and lets be honest everyone wants a high definition jaw line. It also suits long hair, but don’t forget to get a full fringe with it as well because this is where the attraction lies with the hair cut.
A long oval face shape suits layering between the sections of your hair, not noticeable layers but you definitely need help with the shape and bounciness of your hair. A wavy more 1950’s style is also a great hairstyle for you.

Using mainly the colouring tool, I changed and brightened certain aspects of these images, I found the unedited picture very plain and although it portrayed a sophisticated look I don’t
think it did the model any justice. I love the way the black and white negative effect turned out. I think it creates a very dramatic look and feel throughout the image, I also like the way that I creates almost a silhouette of the flower.

When I initially took this photo in the shoot room I automatically thought that it was the one, I love the composition of the image and how it flows, almost in a circular motion, it is a very good picture for the eyes to be drawn to. The original image was very dark and dim. I changed this element of the picture by using the brightness tool, I then added warm undertones to the extremely bright parts of the image, this helped create shadows and shape within the body and

I love the minimalistic look that this image has created. The main feature that I wanted to portray way natural beauty, I wanted the focus to be on the headshot of this image. I instantly knew that this image was going to be my covering photo, I fell in love with the raw image, but the edited version really gives the model justice of her photogenic talents. The contrast between the white undertones and the flower creates an
interesting focal point within the image. If I were to change anything about this image I would change the colour of her nail varnish because I think it draws attention away from the flower.

I like the way that I have completely changed the colours and details within this image, I think it creates a very editorial look. These images are very different and unusual, I like this but I don’t think it would make a good ELLE covering page therefore I don’t think I would use this for my covering page. The raw image is really interesting, I think the contrast of the colours and the pose that my model is in creates a sophisticated look.
