Photo Shoot Plan

Photo Shoot Plan

 

Model: Jade Boardman

Photographer: Hannah Kenton – Oldham Sixth From

Location: LOUD Studios – Dance Studio in Milnrow

Garment:  A red dress with a pencil skirt and batik, applique and beading patterns, a white chiffon wrap and a shawl.

Makeup and Hair: As the model is my younger sister I will apply her makeup and style her hair before we meet the photographer for the shoot.

Accessories: I have not yet decided on accessories, I may make a large beaded collar if I have time.

Poses: I will make a mood board including the poses I want my model to include in the shoot.

Camera: The photographer will provide the camera.

Timing plan:

5-15 minutes- I will show the model and the photographer my mood board so that she knows what I want the pictures to look like and the model knows how I want her to look and pose.

15-45 minutes- The photographer will be setting up the studio. I will discuss the lighting and setup with the photographer whilst the model is in the studio so that we can make any adjustments before we start.

45-60 minutes- The photographer will take some test shots whilst the model relaxes and gets used to things. Any final adjustments needed can be made.

60-120 minutes- The shoot will begin and we will get as many different shots and different poses as possible. The shoot will take a while as there are different parts to my garment that will need to be photographed. When we are finished I will get the photos off the photographer straight away so there is no chance of never receiving them or seeing them again.

Hopefully the shoot will go well and myself and the photographer will each have a set of photos for our portfolio. If not it is an experience gained and any mistakes will be learnt from.

 

 

Final Flats Collection and Final Design - Digital Design

Using my favourite of the refined designs I created the final collection shown below. I used the colour scheme off my mood board and the patterns from my recreations. From the collection I used different elements to make the final design.

Final Design

Taking inspiration from the Maasai tribe's clothing, the Maasai women's beaded collars and Emilio Pucci's Spring/Summer 2014 collection I created 20 rough designs. From these designs I created 20 refined designs and after taking into account the opinions of other people, such as my peers and teachers, I created the final design shown below. The garment shape is inspired by both the Maasai clothing and Pucci's collection. The techniques used are inspired by all: the beaded collars, the Maasai clothing and Pucci's collection. The colours are inspired by the Maasai tribe.

 

 

 

 

 



Rough and Refined Illustrations

Taking inspiration from the Maasai tribe's clothing, the Maasai women's beaded collars and Emilio Pucci's Spring/Summer 2014 collection I created the rough designs shown to the below. The garment shapes come in a wide variety however the patterns all come from my recreations taken from images of the Maasai tribe. All of the designs also contain beading which links to my theme Intricacy with Age. This is inspired by the Maasai women's beaded collars and the way the beading is distributed on the garments is inspired by Pucci's collection.

 

When I had finished these designs I showed them to my model who gave me her opinion on them. She said that as she would be the one wearing the garment that she would prefer something that wasn't too revealing. Keeping this in mind I created the refined designs shown below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After creating these designs I chose my two favourite and showed them to one of my teachers she gave her opinion and showed me the elements that she preferred from each design. From her opinion I came up with the final design shown below.

 

 



I showed this design to my other teacher and she said she liked it however she believes that I could design something more complicated and detailed to achieve a higher grade. She found an aspect of one of my designs interesting so I took this into account when talking to one of my peers. He also liked the same aspect as my teacher however, as he is more into the catwalk side of things, he liked the large beaded neck piece best out of all my designs. He also liked the idea of the wrap being see through on the final design. Taking all these things into account I decided that I was going to keep the final design as it was but add extra pieces to it to bump my grade up a little. I added the shawl as this was what my teacher found interesting. I also took my peer's favourite aspect, the neck piece, and changed it a little to come up with a beaded hood. The extra pieces to my final design are shown below.
