For my first photo shoot I have contacted a friend who is willing to take part as my model. I have gone over the specifications for the shoot and she has agreed, feeling comfortable wearing her underwear for my images. I plan on working with the model in ways that she feels comfortable as i understand it can be daunting for someone to pose with little clothing. The photo shoot will only be between me and the model in order to make sure she does not feel too exposed. This will make her more trusting of my guidance throughout the shoot.
I have bought specific elements for my shoot such as flowers, bought from a local craft shop and 4 litres of long life milk. The milk will obviously be the element which creates the opaque, milky liquid in which the model will be posing in. I also decided to buy fake flowers which will frame the model. The flowers will be a symbol of femininity in which the model will be grabbing onto while being submerged in the liquid. If successful this could signify elements of this character feeling as if her digital self has to be delicate and feminine. However, the flowers are a deep and bright red which could also suggest vulnerability and the longing to be something she is not- hence why she is being consumed by the overwhelming bath of milk. The milk will be symbolic of media's surface of control. The model's body will be falling underneath to suggest that media is luring us in to the digital world, leaving us to sacrifice our physical self for an online reality.
I plan on using natural light as honestly it will be a lot easier to take images. However, i do prefer the colour tones when using natural light as in some cases, artificial light can look quite fake and therefore will take away the smooth and delicate composition i am planning to create.
