WEEK 8: DAY 1

Today I prepared for my photo shoot by making a mood board of the look that I was going for and how this could be achieved through styling and props. I want the model to look quite ethereal and very calm and at peace. I knew I wanted to incorporate my research on flowers in the shoot so I picked some flowers the morning of the shoot to use as props. I don't want any accessories because I think they'll E just distract from the clothes but instead I want the model to have a headwrap as iris a very common hairstyle for black women to wrap their hair in a scarf. I found a really nice beige mesh that I bought a while ago which I think will be perfect because it won't stand out too much and overpower the model but I am also going to bring in some ther possible fabric choices which I could use. For make up I want it to be very simple because I want her natural beauty to shine through so I'm just going to put some orange eyeshadow on her to match the jacket and some mascara.

I also pressed all of my clothes so I don't have to rush to do it tomorrow morning.

Today was a very useful day because now I know exactly what I'm going to be doing at the photo shoot and how I'm going to create a look that sums up my theme in a subtle way. I'm going to show the photographer and model this mood board to give them an insight to my project which will help then to understand what I want to achieve from this shoot.
