Planning - Photoshoot

For our first photoshoot, we wanted to create a good outfit based just on basic clothes and affortable. We wanted to enhance creativity through the use of bright colours, simple clothes and the actual trends. I saved some pictures from Pinterest which go for what I want as an inspiration , but I want to do something that is original. Me and Matei, wanted to be creative and spotaneous , and if during the photoshoot , another ideea will come up , we will sure use it. There are some photoes that I saved as an inspiration for the actual photoshoot and some ideeas from other magazines that i really enjoy reading.

What I liked most about these magazines is the fact that the picture focuses more on the model's face and not on other details, this being positioned in the middle of the photo. Fashion magazines typically employ a classic approach, featuring large faces that grab attention on newsstands, often with models making direct eye contact. We also looked month and year of publication, often accompanied by the price, are usually indicated on the cover and monthly magazines typically appear on newsstands the month prior to the date shown on the cover. We also observed that the standard bar code used by retailers appears at the bottom of the page. We also observed that the table of contents can be crafted with or without images, but it's crucial to distinguish its elements. This ensures clarity for the reader, helping them differentiate between page numbers, topic headlines, and optional short descriptions. For the layout, we aim to establish four columns. The primary image will be situated on the right-hand side of the page, encircled by smaller pictures.

Moreover, we will conduct my photoshoot in the studio of the "Transylvania Fashion" model agency, which was made available to us by the parents of my teammate, Matei. It is a quiet place that offers us the peace and privacy we need, allowing us to focus better on the photoshoot.

Therefore, my colleague - Matei and I have both chosen the same model for our photoshoot.

MODEL:

ADRIANA C.

height:173 cm

waist:59 cm

shoe size:38

hair color:blonde

eyes color:blue

Adriana is a model in the "Transylvania Fashion" agency and we decided to have her represent us as a model for our magazine because of her unique features and suitable for our theme.

CONTACT METHOD:

I decided to contact the girl through aggiency , as it would be easier for us to communicate quickly about details there.

PROPS:

Clothing & Accessories

For clothes, I looked for the most basic models, but which were also colored to make a personal styling based on the main idea from which we started.

Make-up

We wanted to go for a natural make-up and highlight her natural features based on the current "clean girl" trend.

Other:

We used an Sony A1 camera with 35mm lenses and 2 professional lights and one of them had light reflection filters.

Budget:

We talked to our model to bring for the photoshoot some clothes that she wears in her everyday life, in order to keep a low budget. I also bought a blue hoodie from H&M for which I paid 80 RON. I also prepared some snacks for the model and for us because we didn't know how much time we would spend at the photoshoot. I bought 3 bags of chips and 3 bottles of water and in total I paid 35 ron. We didn't have to pay for the photoshoot because we organized the photo session at the model agency Transylvania Fashion, an agency that belongs to my colleague Matei. The model also works at the agency and the camera and lights were also made available to us by the agency. We tried to keep a budget as small as possible for the project, the total being 125 RON.
