Aboriginal faces

When I was in Australia I managed to photograph two Aboriginal boys for drawings in in illustration. Unfortunately, I could not use their faces in the end, as I felt a need for a more mature  face should be used in  the illustrations. Finding the right image was also a process of experimentation. I found as I thoroughly researched my source, I could also  choose the aspects of the face that attracted me the most which l could then include in my designs.  I also decided  not to incorporate a complex colour scheme and to  keep the colours simple, so that the face was magnified under the image. Although it didn't appear that way when layered in a box, as you could barely see them due to lack of light through the veils. This was a disappointment to me and something to bare in mind when designing my next project.
