Work Record Preparation January 22nd 2013

Due to the weather, I could not go ahead with my shoot I planned to do on location in Chelsea, London. The aim of the shoot was to do a contrasting one to my grungy shoot, and instead show classier, more polished fashion. I wanted to use a location as it would help expand the idea and the location would reflect and emphasise my ideas.

As I am unable to shoot on the location now, I am instead going to use the studio and keep my ideas and models the same. 

This is an photograph from my previous shoot that this next shoot is going to contrast. 

Preparation; 

As the idea of this shoot is to contrast my previous grungy, edgy fashion shoot, I am going to show a preppier, neater more upper class, classy fashion as this will contrast strongly as they are opposing fashion ideas. For this shoot I am keeping the models the same, and am going to use a white background again. For the previous shoot I used only on light to make it darker and edgier. This time I want to make it look cleaner and brighter so I am going to use both lights. 

This shoot will contrast my previous one and show colour and form. 

These two photographs show some ideas I have for my shoot, although I could not find any photographs showing my ideas exactly. Both of these photographs by Rankin show some ideas and poses that I am going to look at and develop during my shoot. I like how these are in black and white as it adds to the classy feel of the photographs, although I do plan on using colour for my photographs. I also like the poses shown and the use of the props - umbrella and hat in the right image. 

To prepare I need to;

• Book the studio
• Plan what I want my models to wear
• Decide if I want to use props, and what props I want. 

I hope to achieve; 

During this shoot i hope to achieve a classy, refined shoot that shows form, tone and colour that shows ideas of classy, smart fashion. To achieve this I am going to look at different angles, positions, different close ups and full length photographs.
