Photoshoot Planning.

Shoot date and time
I shall take the shoot during free periods in school.

Image ideas
A solo artist posing with an acoustic guitar. He would be the cover guy, pretending to be an Indie music artist. I will experiment with different body languages, but also take some close up on the artist. I found some images from previous music magazines which have been an inspiration to me (below).

I really like the side view image here. The model has a tattoo which is what makes this composition so affective but my model won't have this feature. However, I still think it is a nice image to have so I will take some side profile images of my model.

Shoot location
I am going to take the shoot within a music room where there is access to an acoustic guitar. These rooms also have plain walls which is preferable for a shoot as there isn't a unrelevant background that is going to get in the way.

Model
The model I have chosen has an Indie appearance to suit the genre of the magazine. He will be acting as a solo artist who plays Indie music with an acoustic guitar which will be shown within the images.

Props
I will be using an acoustic guitar for the model to hold to show the type of music the magazine is advertising. A stool will also come in use for when I am taking the side profile images so that the model can sit down.



Plan of shots
I simply want to take shots of the model holding the guitar, playing the guitar and a few portrait images.
