Photo shoot planning

I have chosen to photograph myself for my images as I can create the look I visualise easily without having to rely on anybody else or get permission. It will be less time consuming as I dont have to work around when they are free.

I will keep my images very basic using a plain background and miminal props. I will use chairs or boxes to sit on and perhaps a music related prop.
The makeup and costume will have a edgy rock feel to it in keeping with the theme of the magazine. I will use dark clothes, leather jackets, dark eye makeup etc. I also have a neon pink fring and peircings that will help with the rock look of the images.

As I am using dark colour for costume and makeup I will take my images against a lightly coloured neutral background to create contrast. The bright colour of my hair would mean bright colours in the background or in the costume would make the image look fussy.

My photos will be taken indoors, in my own dining room against a plain cream wall with no furniture in the area. I will ensure that lighting both natural from windows and from artifical sources will be behind the camera allowing clear illumination of the focal point. This will allow for clear detail in the photos.

My images will be relevant to the genre of the magazine as I want my artist to grab readers attention and make them read the article on her.
