Kaitlyn Bodham is producing media for a magazine and needs to plan various aspects of the photo shoot. She will photograph Molly Williamson, who can do her own makeup, as the sole model. Bold colors will be used to contrast the magazine's usual black and white style and excite readers. Props like CDs may be included to illustrate an article about the model's favorite albums. The shoot will take place in the college photography studio or a local park, where natural or studio lighting will be used depending on the location. Costuming and makeup will be boldly colored to match the model's brightly colored hair.

2. What emotional impact do you want your
photography do have upon the reader? How?
I would like my photography to
excite the reader, as most
magazines of this genre do. To
do this I will include bold
colours to contrast with the
usual black and white. These
colours will most likely be
included in the writing and the
models makeup.
What personnel do you need? Who are you
going to photograph?
My model is Molly Williamson and
she will be in most, if not all of my
images. I don’t believe that I will
need any other personnel as the
model can do her own makeup
very well.

3. What props will you need?
I haven’t yet decided on
props for the front cover
or contents page. But I
plan to write my article
about the model ranking
their favourite albums
and so I may use CDs
in the photographs for
the article.
How are you going to emphasise colour?
My model has brightly coloured hair and will be
wearing bright green shoes. This will be contrasting
with the otherwise dark colour scheme of the
magazine.
Have you briefed your personnel/models?
I haven’t yet briefed the model, but will be
doing so in the next few days once I have
decided on a location, costume and
makeup.

4. What lighting
will you need?
Any other
equipment?
If in a studio,
multiple lights will
be needed along
with the backdrop
and light meter. If
outside, natural
lighting will be
used and so the
only equipment
needed will be
the camera.
Where will you shoot?
Will you need a
backdrop?
I will either shoot in the
photography studio of the
college or perhaps at the
bandstand in Barnes Park. I
haven’t yet decided which,
and I may even need both.
The photography studio has
the option of either a black
or white background and
currently my plan is to use
the white background with
both low and high key
lighting.
Make-up? Costume?
The model’s makeup will
be coloured to match her
hair. For example, it is
currently purple and so if
it stays that colour the
model will be wearing
purple eyeshadow. Her
costume is yet
undecided but will most
likely include ninja turtle
Dr Martens.
