Styling of the shoot

 Prior to the shoot, myself and my photographer sourced clothing from vintage shops, and also our own garments which are all included on the righthand moodboard. A lot of these items are things we believe added some classical elegance to the shoot swell as the high fashion up to date clothing we purchased from ASOS (on the left hand image). These were all floral, pastel pink toned colours which would be subtle, and not too busy and would compliment the wigs and the dainty elegant theme of the shoot. It is important to protect the clothing so that we can return the items, being on a student budget.  We have chosen to purchase just two shoes, a feature shoe which is comprised of bright floral print, and a nude shoe which will compliment the brighter, busier dresses. The stiletto will elongate the models stature and the clothing will be carefully selected to work alongside and prioritise the appearance of each wig and make-up. Working with stylists is something I have openly found a challenge in the past as I find the images in a make-up artists head and the images in a stylists head are always very different, which is unsurprising as both components are very different however have to work together to make a shoot successful, however this time I am finding it a lot easier, as I feel very in control of my own project and that the stylist is to assist my outcome and not just my photographers, as it has been in the past.
The clothes will be purchased on the 15th of November, 2 weeks before our shoot day. There will be a 30 day return period, which we will obviously aim to return within 21 days of purchase, but having allowance to keep the clothing for an extra period of time incase we need to reshoot images is something that should be considered.
