Photoshoot 1 Planning

Subject MatterI am going to be photographing my artist wearing a black leotard against a white backdrop. In addition, I am going to experiment a range of different angles and compositions. I am using a white backdrop so the audience’s attention is immediately drawn to my artist. I am aiming for my model to look confident, sassy and powerful and will experiment with a variety of different poses to do this.

CompositionMy model will be the focal point in these photographs and will be central in the majority of them. In some of these photographs I will experiment with zooming and cropping for variation and will take my images from a variety of different angles to capture her facial features and body. My artist will be looking into the camera in some images to connect with the audience and her fans.

Photographic TechniquesThe photos will be taken with a wide depth of field using a prime lens. I will airbrush my models skin to make her appear flawless and to heighten her attractiveness. I will lengthen and blacken her eyelashes on Picmonkey and I will make specific features stand out. I also will adjust the brightness and contrast on Photoshop.

LightingI will use studio lighting on half power to highlight my model’s facial features.PropsMy artist will be wearing a tiara and a sash to look like a beauty queen.
