My inspiration for the studio sheet is associated with portraits of various Disney princesses, framed in an oval, supporting various stereoypically 'elegant' poses. I decided to take this idea and use my 'alternative style' princess and nursery rhyme characters and mimic these poses for my own frames in the exhibition.I prepared the studio with a simple lighting set up:
-Two soft boxes either side of the subject for an even lighting (white backdrop)
-White umbrella with a black cover facing away from the subject in order for the light to reflect off it and back towards the subject (black backdrop).
After completing this shoot, I think that the simple soft box lighting set up worked the best out of the two due to the simplicity, yet I liked the black backdrop as it was very alternative. When directing the model, I asked her to do different poses such as the one above that are stereotypically recognised in order to create that irony.
I think that the shoot went really well and I have definately captured some usable images, at least one for each character/princess.
