External Brief

Fashion/ Portrait

I decided to do a fashion/portrait for my external brief. My location was in Rochdale, Water groves. I first started to research on a lot of photographers to see the locations they have used, although I had already decided where I wanted to do my Eternal shoot.
 
I had made mind maps to help me plan the shoots.
 
Here are a few things I kept in mind-
 
I had to make a cast call for Models and Make up Artists.
Had to each an eye on the weather, the time of day I wanted to shoot was sunset.
I had to remember to charge my camera
the models were quite happy to bring the outfits with them.
 
Putting all this together I knew what I wanted out of this shoot, I would be very happy if I get what I want out of this shoot. I would the models to just feel relaxed while doing the shoot with me.
 
I had spoken to the models and made them aware of the shoot that I wanted to do and they were quite happy to help although they did ask me before the shoot that if they would be given the images. I was happy to give them the images. No model release form was signed as I was reassured from the models that it was no need and that I could trust them.
 
I told the Models and the Make up artists the following information about the shoot-
 
The shoot will take place on the 20/10/2012.
Time 4.30pm till 8.00pm.
Shoot will be in Water groves Rochdale. 
The Make up Artist and models were first told by to come to a place to get there make up and hair done.

Plus and negative points about my shoot:-
 
I was successful in making the models feel relaxed while doing the shoot with me. They had a really good time modelling for me. The weather was great and the sunset looked really beautiful. I did have a few problems with the shoot as I had not released that I did not have the models facing the sun, and that I was having a few problems with the naturel day light. All the images that I submitted were all edited and the resolution was set to 300 for print.
  
Overall I think I have not done to bad as this was my first ever fashion shoot, there are a few things that I will have to keep in mind, please prefer to my plus and negative points to see the changes I will always make to improve my shoot for the next time.
