Shoot ideas

As a result of meeting with Terri and Eve from our group for the photo shoot, ideas started to evolve from postings on our blogs and we decided to do a shoot around a retro theme.


The main postings on our blogs that had an influence on our shoot were; Terri's posting of Simon Foxton's project - Strictly, Eve's on Platon 'He's English man in New York’ and a posting that I did on retro images from '125' magazine.

Although the theme could take us in several avenues, we thought about the ideal model, male or female and then whether a location or studio shoot would be most relevant.

I started to think about people I knew who would be suited as a model. I also started to look at posing as I knew this would be influential within a shoot.




I also started to consider posing and look around for poses that I felt were different and striking. Rankin's images are exceptional in my opinion for posing.



I came across this image for a Tom Ford advert.









I like it as a basic side on view has been made to be quite strong due the pose of the models head being boldly turned to look at the viewer. It seem to create a dominant figure by posing them in this way that could have normally been quite flat.
