photoshoot theme...any ideas?
Im the worst at coming up with ideas for photoshoots... Im modeling for someone next week, and its up to me to think of a theme....and I have NO IDEAS. Any suggestions. Hes coming to me, so I have a small space to work with. I have dresses, lingerie, etc. If anyone could shoot some ideas my way, maybe I could take that and twist it into something unique. Thanks! Nov 20 08 10:05 am Link I'm thinking something along the lines of a leftover turkey carcass. And potatoes. And lingerie. Nov 20 08 10:14 am Link Jessyka Ann wrote: What are you going for? Commerical, glamour, fashion? Nov 20 08 10:14 am Link He doesn't have any ideas? Nov 20 08 10:15 am Link What sort of model do you have to work with? Will you have an MUA? Stylist? Wardrobe? Or is it just you & the model? Nov 20 08 10:15 am Link Jessyka Ann wrote: You, all dressed up pretty (like, almost nude), holding your camera, with a "blank stare" on your face...as if you're trying to think of something. Nov 20 08 10:16 am Link Magnus Hedemark wrote: She is the model, though it looks like she posted from her photographer account... Nov 20 08 10:17 am Link yes, sorry, I figured I would just post from this account, didnt feel like switching. IM THE MODEL. no he doesnt have any ideas. I asked. Its for artistic photos. No MUA. Just me and the photographer. Nov 20 08 10:20 am Link Paul Bryson Photography wrote: ha could work. him taking a few pictures of me and my camera... Nov 20 08 10:21 am Link OKAY...NOW IM ON MY MODEL MM PAGE Nov 20 08 10:24 am Link Jessyka Ann wrote: In that case forget the lingerie. Nov 20 08 10:25 am Link Wardrobe: Fedora hat and a necktie. Period. Setting: Urban, converted warehouse loft apartment maybe. Lots of brick and tall narrow windows.

Do NOT wrap either around your body or even have them in the frame, but rather use your light source so the shadows cast by chain/rope do the wrapping. Nov 20 08 10:40 am Link There's always the bed  You can shoot stuff like this:   Nov 20 08 10:41 am Link Insatiablekisses wrote: Music shops rent them cheap. Nov 20 08 10:43 am Link Part of being a photographer is comming up with concepts ideas themes and props it is part of the job. I wonder if Picasso ever asked Shit que pasa what will i paint what will i use how will i paint my model. I hate to say it but when I see post of photogs and models asking for suggestions and ideas and themes it makes me sad. I am not putting you down but i feel your not doing your home work. Be creative be innovative think out of the box. Look at other photographers work and ask your self if you can challenge yourself to create the same or better. Good Luck on comming up with ideas but for me Photography is like sex you have to be creative or good bye baby.

Nov 20 08 10:53 am Link Insatiablekisses wrote: What if you find someone who looks similar to you--similar build, face structure, hairstyle--and think "as a photographer, how would I shoot her?". That might help... maybe? Nov 20 08 10:54 am Link Read a book to get some ideas. I'd suggest Finnegan's Wake for a start. Nov 20 08 10:54 am Link Insatiablekisses wrote: Since your comfortable doing nudes one idea that you and the photographer might like is you covered in chocolate and stawberry syrup added with colored m and m's or sprinkles to give more texture or color. Nov 20 08 11:02 am Link Magic Image Photography wrote: ohhhh! I like that idea! messy, but sounds like fun! Nov 20 08 11:10 am Link I'm putting together a shoot and am trying to think of what theme I'd like to do as well. So far I have thought of 40's theme, black and white (pinstripes, cigarette type) Candy raver (white wall background, bold solid colors in fun costume, and candy of course!) Fetish theme with rope, crops, flogs, or other fetish types Tropical swimsuit theme (beach, malibu, etc) Matrix, industrial, dark, pvc hope this helps I have a profile here if you want to check out the pics I have. I have many more as well May 04 09 07:39 pm Link Build a house of cards, wide and short Lay behind it Have the photographer shoot you through the holes. Wax your floor, put on slippery socks, run and slide, have the photog catch the fun. Put on a blindfold, go into a mans closet, choose items by feel without looking, try them on blind. Shoot the whole debaucle. .... Thats 3 minutes worth of my brain expulsion. ^^ Problem is, not every idea is a practical/good idea. May 04 09 07:50 pm Link I have never asked my models to come up with their own idea for a shoot. So why does he want to shoot you? What does he see when he looks at you? Is it bone structure, the ability to convey and emotion, or does he just want to shoot a pretty face? Ask him questions. The problem with the model coming up with the idea may lead to the photographer not really wanting to shoot that idea.

I'm never hard set with an idea. I love the surprises I get with my models. A concept, no matter how vague can lead to some great shots when the model and photographer work together. May 04 09 08:35 pm Link I have so many ideas lined for future shoots I wanna do. I get my inspiration from music videos... one of my favorite music videos has snakes, mud & jungle leaves & black mysterious makeup & wardrobe. That's just an example, you can use music videos & their concepts and take it as a shoot idea:) May 04 09 08:44 pm Link Jessyka Ann Photography wrote: huh? how can you do a job if you can't make up something? May 04 09 08:46 pm Link Taboo Nudes wrote: Totally. Love it. May 04 09 08:48 pm Link You can always just choose an object with an interesting shape and shoot nudes with poses inspired by the shape... You could do "all dressed up with no where to go"... You just need a pretty dress, makeup, a clock to stare at intently and a homey setting. May 04 09 08:50 pm Link Im doing this shoot tonight. Abandoned house Tying up the model with Jumper Cables Fake Blood everywhere low lighting maybe black and white with just the red color showing Jan 28 10 01:48 pm Link |
