Black & White

this jacket has really cool sheer sleeves, that the camera didn't pick up. 

Razan and I did some clothes scouting at Crossroads and here are some items we found and thought possibly had potential for the shoot.

I went to Buffalo& Sway yesterday. They both have lots of sheer pieces with plenty of high low dresses/skirts; nothing was too architectural though.

Here are some interesting pieces.

Black&White Inspiration and Ideas

Inspiration/Ideas

-          Different textures:

o   Lace, chiffon, tulle, taffeta, mesh, crochet, sequins, laser-cut, fur, feathers

o   Create a contrast by flawlessly mixing fabrics & even patterns if possible

o   Potential overlay of just pieces of fabric around person or to extend the length of a dress, etc

-          Contrast

o   between what is loose and what is tight

§  Emphasize the figure more

o   With fabrics to play out the various details

-          Camera techniques/ editing

o   Shooting in color then convert to black&white

o   Enables us to selectively pick which colors to enhance to stand out once in black and white; a whole other level of variations in gray

o   Playing with the light

§  Must think about what time of day we choose to shoot; effects with sun if location is outside

§  To highlight certain features/textures

§  To add as a backdrop (dreamy effect)

-          Things to show

o   Womanly curves (implicitly with see-through, chiffon articles; explicitly with bareness or body-con articles)

o   Back & shoulders

§  Use of cut outs and bare back clothing

-          Make up & hair

o   Defined make up

o   Exaggerated

o   sensual

Dead mans tree by 4.0 hill. I added some light effect and made it black and white to see how it looked i also liked the prospect with doing something with the bottom part of the tree cause of the shaping.

i also really like this just cause of the facial expression and makeup regarding the stripe across the top (like a mask) might be something to keep in mind to make the photos pop. i changed the hue and saturation on the mask and messed with some contrast/desaturation techniques from the original to see how it looked in black and white also.

I must say I got the idea to post a music vid from the lovely Jansen Trahan, but I feel like this video could give us some cool inspiration for our shoot. I know we are going for a more high fashion vibe and she isn't dressed too high fashiony but when she is against the brick wall or checker board, I thought it provided a cool textural background like we all talked about. Also the shadows of the shapes on her face like at 1:01 and 1:10 ish, I thought would be a cool beauty/head shot or something along those lines.

I know these aren't exactly the 'edgy' black & white photos/theme we might want to be going for, but it's just another idea; they are sort of an oxymoron of the black and white contrast and the bright colors and flowers associated with spring.

I really love the pictures with the male & female! An interesting thought of an idea for the photo shoot= )
