Photo Shoot Planning

This week, I'm currently working on a photo shoot concept for my Photography class. I've worked on shoots before, but only as a stylist. This time, I'll be behind the lens taking the photos.

In any photo shoot, you will need some models.  I've asked some of my friends to participate and luckily they're part of the fashion crowd so they love to do this sort of stuff. You'll also need a makeup artist, props that will add to the concept, and of course, the clothing or accessories you will be shooting. (I'll be choosing some new accessories from my shop to photograph).

I've pulled together some ideas for posing and lighting, but most of the fun will be from the spontaneity of the shoot. The image I found here captures the feeling and mood I would like to emulate, but we'll see what we end up with!

Soft, ethereal imagery and pastels are starting to fill up on my desktop. I can always find inspiration from butterflies and the design genius of Valentino.

Feathered Frenzy

I've been quite busy the past few days. Along with just trying to keep up with the sudden supply and demand from my shop, I've been running around doing some photography assignments.

However, I've found another website to keep me procrastinating for hours. The site is called Pinterest and you can easily scroll through a mash up of inspirational images. My current obsessions and infatuations are feathers that come in all forms of wearable clothing and accessories.
