Photo Backgrounds

After shooting my photos i noticed that, although I was happy with the outcome there was something missing from them. There is something about Urban Decay shoots that lets you know that it is Urban Decay strait away and it was something that wasn't just in the makeup or hair. After analysing some iconic UD images I noticed what this was - all UD photos have  jazzy background! Usually flowers or a pattern or a nice interior - they very rarely have  plain background like my photos. So I decided to include this and photo shop my photos onto  a jazzy background to give it more of a UD flavour.

I decided eventually to go with flowers because they gave a good girly contrast to the edgy makeup, which matches UD's "beauty with an edge" mantra perfectly. I chose a different background for each look to compliment it. I got the images from a royalty free wallpaper downloading site, flashrolls.com.

MOODBOARD OF BACKGROUNDS

Above is a moodboard of the sort of backgrounds that I'm thinking of using and the type of thing that I think will go well with the UD look. I want them to be busy, girly and colourful because that's what UD is all about. They will add a lot more interest and colour to the look and it is the sort of concept that can easily be used by a UD campaign in reality.
