Studio fashion shoot, lace dress with paper props 

 

 

Inspiration image by David Lachapelle 

For this project I’ve got inspired by the image above by David LaChapelle. I really like the mood of the image and I would like to create something similar in the studio. I will use only one model here and I will experiment with different studio set ups and backdrops. Instead of orange feel in the image I will add pink colour. I’ve bought the lace dress by designer Kelly Ewing. I choose the dress, because its sexy and the vintage lace look adds the timeless feel to the image. As a props I created paper decoration which will be hanging down from the sealing. I will use studio backdrop rail above the models were I will attach the paper balls. The paper balls will be tree different colours, dark pink, baby pink and white. I want to play around with the composition of the balls, but they will be in different length, sometimes partly cover models face or part of her body. Because I want photograph the model top less, I will be working in small team only, one model and MUA/Hair stylist. I will need MUA to do the hair and make-up.

MAKE-UP

Make-up will be very colourful. I’ve done research on make up and found these two images in google images. I would like similar make up to this, but will depend on MUA and her skills. Because I can’t afford to pay MUA will use one of the students. Hair style will be big curly hair. I will prefer to get a model which has curly hair already or MUA will recreate the look in the studio.

 

research

First image I found on designer’s Kelly Ewing website, I was long at the pose of the model in corset dress. I like the position of the hand and the confident look. I am not sure about the legs, because it looks very childish but like the combination of the dress and thighs. I lie the combination of big hair and the dress. I will use some head piece as well for changing the look during the shoot which i will buy in wedding accessories on line shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Tim Walker

Image of Kate Moss by Tim Walker inspired me for using flowers as a props as well. I really like the odd position of the flower on her head. I also like on this image that model is looking away and I will make my model to don’t look in the camera.

Another image by Tim Walker combine short dress and the flowers. I like the idea to place something in front of the object. I will use paper ball hanging from the ceiling which I will place in front of the model’s face and this will be one of the topless images. So there will be breast seen but not the face.

During my research I found images by Patric Demarchelier which I really like. In combination of my props and dress I can create similar effect.

Jean Jackson couture website, unknown photographer

I choose this image as an inspiration for using different angle of shooting to enhance look of dress or models face.

I was looking at different studio set up and using props around the model. I will still keep researching that, to get as many possibilities and original ideas.

I found this two images on websites by wedding saloons. I use this as an first inspiration and ideas for how to use the props but my set will be different and more simple.

I was also researching partial nude or sexy images by famous photographers. I would like to show different parts of body to attract attention of viewer.

Osborne Samuel and Bettles and Huxley Mario Testino

This images inspired me how to use the big skirt in different twist. I also like the shoes here which give the rock feel to the outfit.

 

Next two images by Patrick Demarchelier I will use as an aspiration for the poses.
