Sing about me, I'm dying of Thirst - PhotoShoot

For the song 'Sing about me, I'm dying of Thirst' I'm planning to take pictures to go with the quote...
 'And outside became pitch black A demon glued to my back whispering 
"Get em" I got em, and I ain't give a fuck'
and 'Judging her past and shit 
Well it's completely my future'

My original plan for the 1st quote was to take pictures of my model Holly on location at night. I wanted these pictures to be dark to add to the thrill and the scariness of the pictures. I wanted to take these pictures from a low angle and have a street light up in the background of the picture. This plan ended up changing as at night it gets far to cold. I decided that it would be easier and warmer to take these pictures in the studio. Once these pictures have been taken my plan is to hand manipulate them and to add symbols to my models skin to look like tattoos and also am going to black out her eyes, I think that this will give the demon effect.  

I took these pictures only on my digital camera and on my iPhone. 
Here are the contact sheets of all the images that I took...

I quite like the lighting in these photos. I used a grey backdrop as I thought that this may make my images appear slightly darker. I wanted them to be dark, but not underexposed. I didn't take loads of images on this photoshoot as it was not a full studio session and these where just taken quickly when the studio was unavailable. Out of the pictures I took these are my favourites... 

I wish the lighting wasn't as bright on my models face in this picture, but apart from that I am pleased with this. I like her animalistic pose and the strong eye contact with the camera. 

I really like the lighting in this picture and how my model almost looks like a silhouette. Again I also like her animalistic pose, this is slightly unusual and one with blacked out eyes will look demonised.

I feel with these pictures I experimented more with different poses and angles. The lighting in these images isn't as good as the lighting in the previous images that where taken on my digital camera. This is because my iPhone camera wasn't connected to the studio lighting meaning there was no flash when taking the pictures.
