These images are a huge improvement from the test shoot I conducted a few days ago. I managed to book a longer slot within the studios, acquired help from a friend with adequate photography experience and felt totally comfortable being experimental with poses and ideas in front of the camera as a result of this.
After speaking with John Whalvin, he cleared up all of the issues I had deciding on the best post-production techniques to use that would help create the best outcome for the concept. He explained that I was following the correct technique within the test shots practice, however he advised me to erase the rear image from behind the front one to that it gives an opaque finish. This was a tedious process that took a great deal of time, however I feel that is has paid off by using this technique as the layers that are showing the unhappy emotion are slightly more prominent.
I prefer the first image shown compared to the second, as the poses work well together. The positioning of my lip in the second looks a little awkward, which draws me attention away from other aspects of the image. This isn't the intended focus of the image, so I don't think I will be using it within the final production because of this reason.
