My Anita

In the studio session today, we had to interpret this photo of Anita Berber, photographed by Otto Dix. We had to imagine the makeup what she was wearing at the time of the photo, not how its shown on the photograph. I liked the challenge, as we had to design and do the makeup in the space of 2 hours, preparing me for the industry. We only focused on the makeup.

We also had to write down all the makeup used, how we used it, where it was placed, just as if working in the industry. We focused on the continuity part, and how when in the industry, the same makeup may have to be made weeks after, maybe even by another person, so they have to know what and how to do it, that is why writing everything down is so important.
