New Plans for Ligeia

Following my test shoot with photographer Dionne and model Danika I've realised that the lighting ideas i had weren't suitable if i wanted to achieve editorial style images. It only really clicked to me when i was having a chat with Sharon a few days after. As i looked around her office i saw these beautifuly lit, high fashion images and i knew that i was going in the wrong direction.

I've decided it would be a great idea to shoot in the infinity cove, i've worked in there before and i love how the whiteness off the cove looks on camera and it's a much bigger space to work in compared to the studio we shot in during the test shoot. Dionne is unable to shoot on the day i have booked in so i asked my friend Sam who is a photography student at solent and someone i have worked with several times before to help me out. Sam has also worked in the cove before too so i feel confident he will be able to achieve the lighting i want to create.

I've asked Danika to model for me again and i am going to stick with the makeup design as i was happy with how it looked. The other thing i wanted to change was the styling. As the first shoot was only i test i just put her in a black dress but I was inspired with the image below when i was browsing Pinterest. I love the simplicity and i'm really drawn to it.

Danika is already really tall so i thought by putting her in heels i could get some really cool shoots to make her legs look even longer. I had picked up a black bodysuit from Topshop and some killer boots from H&M to dress her in and im hoping to get the editorial style image i have in my head.
