Studio Shoot Plan for 25th of March

This week I've been planning my portrait studio shoot. I have been inspired by contemporary fashion photographer Lara Jade. I was initially drawn to the styling in her shots and the shadows cast in the black and white images shown below. I plan on styling my shoot on the poses and make up of a selection of her works but will add my own twist.

I've sent Steve my shoot plan with inspiration shots and required equipment - I intend to help with the set up of the studio lighting and equipment so I get a better understanding of the equipment.

I will be using my friend Sharon in the shoot. I briefed her on the above plan the evening before the shoot - she has posed before for me so is used to how I work. I gave her the plan to practice the poses - we selected a range of clothing to reflect a high fashion shoot. I will do her hair and make up. There are a lot of textures in Lara Jade's work through the use of different fabrics. The lighting looks almost ethereal and is very soft focused on the models faces. The poses may be very hard for a non trained model to emulate as they are very angular.
