Preparation for photo shoot

Our latest project on the course is to take photos to suit a high end either fashion or food magazine. We need to present a double page spread, some small shots for an editorial and a cover. 

As much as I love food, to eat that is, I opted for the fashion theme. I have more shoes and clothes than food ingredients in my pantry to make beautiful dishes that would look stunning and appetizing on photos. Some shots had to be taken in a studio, which I have done already. The next step is to take the rest of them, at my home. I have never done anything like this, so I am equally excited an nervous. My two lovely housemates, Bridget and Joanna, agreed to model for me. Both stunning girls, who will look amazing whatever I get them to wear. I am also lucky enough to have friends come around and help me with the make-up, setting up the scene and general assistance. I had some ideas about some of the shots and the props we will use, but I will have to see how it will work in real life. Some ideas, that seem great in my head don't actually work on set. Well, watch this space! As soon as I figure out how to attach photos to this blog, I will do!

For now, I must make a note somewhere not to forget to pick up the lights from college on Friday that Marc let me borrow!
