Shoot plan

My idea for this portraiture exhibition is to create a summer themed image, which will be bright and happy. For my first shoot my intentions are to use a lilac background, because it is a bright summery colour and I think that it will go well and help to contribute to the summer look. I will be using plenty of lighting to make sure it is bright and high key and I will be obviously getting her to wear summer clothes which will include sunglasses, shorts, a thin jumper with the sleeves rolled up and also shorts and converse and will have the model sat on a stool. Throughout this shoot I will experiment with positioning the model differently, starting with her being sat facing forward and moving onto being positioned with her back facing the camera with her head over her shoulder. I will be taking images both far away and close up to give me a range of different styles within my shoot, the far away ones being more about showing the style and theme of this shoot, and the close up ones showing the detail in her face and facial expressions and focusing more on the model rather than the theme. I will hope to create a range of different outcomes, being positioned differently and creating many successful images. Throughout shooting these images I will hope to be using a soft box and a light with a beauty dish on, which will create a good amount of light to make this image bright and happy like I want it to be. With the bright lighting and colourful background, along with the summer theme, will all contribute to helping my image stand out within the exhibition. Having all of this planned I am hoping to have plenty of successful images that I am happy with, and will then publish on my blog, annotate and evaluate and then develop onto my next shoot.

Researching into summer fashion I have found this image that I like and feel I can take a small amount of inspiration. Focusing less on the style, clothing and positioning and focusing on more on the colours and the brightness of the image, I will take inspiration from this image to create bright and colourful outcomes.
