This document discusses outfit and photography choices for a vintage music magazine photo shoot. Several dresses, tops, jeans and shoes were considered but ultimately a velvet dress, cropped top, and jeans were selected as they best fit the vintage theme. Good lighting both in the bathroom for makeup and on set with side lights was important to make the model and outfits look their best. Blowing hair with a hairdryer added flow and dimension. Locations around the house were tried but did not work as well as having the model stand for close-up shots against plain colors and textures that complemented the vintage aesthetic.

5. I first began to take a few pictures with my On this chair I sat my model and took a
camera at home of random stuff, I didn’t quite few shots of her, I saw how they came out

vintage. I am happy with them and

classy to me however it looked like a
“office” top and very formal

wearing this but I turned it into a close-up after
editing the image and adding a heart around it.
This dress is very elegant and simple the puff long
sleeves look great and the style is quite old classy

7. In order to make your model look attractive you need to put
the right amount and shades of makeup on her. For this you
need to do it in an area where the lighting is perfect and you
can see all sides to her skin. My bathroom has the best
lighting. With the help of my mum I got my model Edita
ready for the photo shoot under this bright lighting

8. When taking the images of my model I
used a side light which would make
the room in which I am working in
brighter, I put this light towards her
and it made the pictures come out
more clear and clean making her skin
look shiny and her clothes to be seen
more clearly as well as the full image. I
also used a hairdryer as a way of
blowing my models hair to one side,
this gives a unique look and my
models hair doesn’t look flat, it looks
as if its flowing. Perhaps, flowing with
the rhythm… these two props helped
me enormously to make my pictures
come out a lot better.
