Studio Session - 13/11/2014

Our objective for this shoot was to get all the shots using the white background and the black costumes

Changes:
We slightly altered my costume as I didn't feel comfortable wearing a tight crop top and a midi skirt and the new costume created a stronger aesthetic (see developed costume post). This was easy to do as I owned the dress I wanted to wear already.
Both Josh and I had on our festival wristbands from the Summer Holidays and in order to create a look of a new artists, we had to cut them off (it was quite upsetting).

Preparation:
Prior to the shoot, our teacher had shown us a way in which to do Josh's hair to achieve a "neat but slightly scruffy look." Josh also found some makeup which matched his skin tone and had learnt a technique how to put it on well for maximum coverage with a natural finish. Both of these things made it easy to do makeup.

Once all the light was set up and amendments had been made to the white backdrop, I think the shoot ran quite smoothly.

We successfully got all the shots we wanted and even some of the studio promo shots (below are the unedited versions).



From this shoot, we learnt that makeup and adjusting the lighting takes a little longer than we estimated and so for the next shoot we will factor this in in order to make an accurate shootboard.
