Portfolio Photoshoot #1 Update

Ivanka Trump Jewlry

Ivanka Trump Jewlry

I apologize for the delayed update. I had a family emergency. Anyhow, I have decided to add one more look to this first shoot, as you can see to the right, the inspiration for this look is an ad for Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line. I really like this ad because its simple, classy, and elegant, which is exactly what I want to communicate in my portfolio.

In my previous post I mentioned that the next step in the process was location scouting. Because of my having to step away I haven’t been able to really focus on finding the right location as I would have liked so, I will begin that process here shortly. I originally thought of shooting on location but am now considering the possibility of shooting in studio.

I am currently considering 2 studios, Gremlin Studio in Long Beach which I have shot at before but is a bit confined, and Greyscale Studio in Los Angeles. I have never shot at Greyscale before but it has 2500 sq ft of shooting space which sounds great!

I also have a few location that I’ll be visiting and likely posting pictures and/or video of. I will keep the blog updated as I move along in the process.

Fashion Portfolio Photoshoot #1 – Concepts

So I have been going back and forth all day trying to figure out what steps I need to take in preparing for my first portfolio shoot and determined that I needed a form to keep me on track. So I created this Pre-Production check list. Feel free to use it if you like.

Now back to planning the actual shoot. The plan is to shoot three looks all of which will be simulated fashion advertisements. With that in mind I began to look at various magazines and online references to fashion magazine ads that would inspire me and this is what I’ve found so far:

Look #1

Fendi Ad

FENDI-AD

fendi-ad

fendi-ad #2

This look is obviously focused on presenting handbags. I like both of these images because they integrate the background very well while successfully retaining the focus on the model and the product.

Look #2

2009 Escada Ad

Givency - Ange ou Demnon

This look focuses more on the presentation of fragrances. It portrays an image of elegance, class and sophistication as well as somewhat flirtatious.

Look #3

Bvlgari

Bvlgari

Chanel

Chanel Eyewear

Look #3 presents eyewear. As in look #2 a sens of class, elegance and sophistication is also portrayed in these images.

My biggest obstacle right now is finding a location that will accommodate all three looks. I realize that the simple solution would be to split each shoot up into individual shoots, however, because I am working with a limited budget I am trying to take full advantage of the time I have with my wardrobe stylist. Meaning, she has a three look minimum per shoot and I would like to shoot three different usable portfolio pieces.

That said, I feel that looks 1 & 3 would easily be accomplished in the same location but look #2 will take a little more creativity to pull off. In the next few days I will begin scouting locations trying to find one that will accommodate all three looks. Hopefully, I can find a place with a range of backgrounds. Wish me luck!

If you have any comments, suggestion or questions I would love to hear them.
