New Portrait Ideas

For my project, I would like to use gels to give my pictures more of a story. I will use gels to match the models personality. I like most likely use makeup to assist the color of the gel. The other picture is how I would like to take the picture. I want the model looking strait at the camera with a soft lighting. For one picture, I would use blue gels to portray the model as sad. I would do a darker makeup. Like dripping mascara down the models face to portray the feeling they were crying. For another picture, I would use a yellow gel to portray the model as happy. I would do their makeup bright to portray the happy look. I would use either a ring light with the two gel lights or two soft boxes and a gel light. Even though the two pictures are very different, I would like to combine the different aspects of the pictures to make a very powerful portrait. I am still unsure of what I want my theme to be because I want to do a really good job on this project, but I am pretty confident with this idea.
