Shoot Plan -

Here I will be discussing and explaining my photoshoot plan and idea. As I mentioned in the previous thread I noted that my main source of inspiration was from Morgan Silk. In light of this the studio background will not be the actual background.

Instead I will be going out with my Canon 550D SLR w/ 17-85mm Lens and Polorized Filter in order to capture some dramatic sky shots to use as the background. I believe this will add a more powerful feel to each photograph.

On top of this I have also been planning my actual studio shoot with the Phase One Camera.

As for the aperature I believe F/11 would be the most appropriate and set the lighting accordingly.

The equipment I need for this shoot is as follows -

Phase One Camera
x2 Flash Heads with Modelling lights
Softbox Flash
Silver Reflector

The equipment will be set up in the following faishon -

I have not quite decided what the backdrop should be however given that I will be changing the backgrounds I want to use a background that will make the composition easier.

Each flash head will be situated at a slight angle behind the subject, (much less than what is shown in the image above).

The Softbox Flash will be situated above the Phase One aimed down at the subject.

The reflector will be infront of the camera angled up. The purpose of the reflector is to ensure the lighting is balanced. The reflector will reflect the flash from the Softbox upward and illuminate the subjects face.

As for the lenses I believe I will deffinatley use an 80/50mm lens for most shots possibly 55/35mm lens for more full body shots.
