My Miss Havisham



I chose this as my final image for my Miss Havisham interpretation as I loved how heartbroken and numb my model looks within the photograph, which for me is the true essence of Miss Havisham. 

 

The sore, cracked and dry lips I have to admit I did use PVA glue as I didn’t have anything else to create that affect with. In, future I do intend to buy something more professional, suitable for face make-up,  although I did do a patch test on my model in advance to see if it was suitable for her skin, it was fine, and the final outcome looks lifelike.

I aged my models hands by creating age spots with eyeshadow and also using a yellowy/brown colour to her fingernails. To make the age-spots look realistic I looked at my grandmothers age-spots and accurately replicated the exact same ones on my models hands.

I feel like this image shows a successful version of the infamous Miss Havisham.
