FMS404ShootingBeautySalmonM: Trine Hisdal

Just like the artist Mia jane Harris and her macabre themed art works, Trine Hisdal is an artist I discovered on Pinterest whilst finding inspirational images for my story boards and also make-up designs. The mix of soft, feminine, cool colours in her photography initially stood out to me as it all contrasts against black elements in her images. 'Fading Flowers' is my favourite collection of her works, the artwork captures the beauty of dying flowers, and the imagery reveals and shows just how fragile and delicate they are.

The colours in the petals of the flowers Trine Hisdal photographs, Is what inspired me to create a contrasting dark lip colour against fair, porcelain like skin so that my model will appear delicate and almost ghostlike and her skin will be drained of all its colour and instead be focused on her lip colour, the way flowers fade when they die and begin to loose colour at the tips and end of the petals, creating a reverse ombre effect almost.

" Trines invention was to "Document the fragility of flowers and their short lived beauty, and how they look beautiful even as they start to fade." - Erica Vierto, Trine Hisdal.

I want to take the fear, disgust, shock, gore and horror from the word Macabre and recreate the description by adding beauty so that Macabre aesthetically becomes beautiful, stylish, trendy, empowering.
