Inspiration for photoshoot:
Gregory Nicotero:
Within two years he found himself in Los Angeles working with Sam Raimi, James Cameron, and Wes Craven on landmark films such as Evil Dead 2, Aliens, and the A Nightmare On Elm Street series. Nicotero and his team have worked on nearly 700 film and television programs that stretch through cinema as a who’s who of horror, science fiction, and thrillers. With titles such as Reservoir Dogs, Spawn, The Mist, Scream, and Sin City, this unique troupe of artists have brought life to stories and characters of all kinds, all the while innovating and perfecting their craft. Partnering with directors such as Frank Darabont, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Robert Rodriguez, Nicotero fine-tuned his craft as an effects artist and gradually moved into providing 2nd unit direction on several feature films. After a stint on a number of movies across the globe (Inglourious Basterds, The Book Of Eli, Predators, and Transformers), Nicotero found himself in 2010 designing zombies for the AMC series, The Walking Dead. Nicotero has also had a hand in producing Fear The Walking Dead, while supervising make-up effects for AMC’S Preacher, and the upcoming Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron film Alita: Battle Angel.

Evaluation of my Exhibition design:
My Exhibition piece worked well, when I had created the lighting setup to help create a certain mood and emotion. The higher and lower angles I took for some photos when Leah was doing certain poses, helped to make a subtle meaning and create an emotion to emphasise my piece about special effects. It was my first time using special effects makeup and it didn't work how I had hoped. Yet, next time I would try to get more equipped with special effects makeup and actually practise doing special effects makeup. If I could do this piece again I would probably try and make it more obvious that I am doing special effects makeup and I would mess the clothes and rip them to make it more obvious rather than making people have to guess what it is about. I had used a soft box lighting to create the lighting effects, so if I could do this Exhibition again I would probably try a range of different lighting effects, so I could have a range of different styles of photos.
