Theme 2 Studio shoot research.

So for my second Theme I have chosen fashion/advertising.

I'm going to try and do a shoot with Models in the studio, simple backgrounds and  4 separate mini shoots, being Jeans, T-Shirts, Jewellery and Bags.

These 1st 3 images are all for the same company and use 2 models but 1 bag, Not sure if I will use this method or not, I think the images below, using just 1 model, but with the bag in different positions looks better and less distracting from the product itself.

The above images show how a black background could also work well with a single model and the "products" that I'm trying to shoot, show and advertise.

The above image is a good example of how the Bag/Jewellery could be combined, although the model is dressed, the position of the bag and her hands hide the clothing so the main focus is on the bag and the 2 Bracelets.

This image is a prime example for a shot that combines more than 1 of my chosen subjects, The yellow dress could easily be change for a pair of Jeans and  a T-Shirt, and then you would still have the big bag and the big ring on her finger, and also a Bracelet could be added to the wrist as well, or on the dress in this image there is some detailing, which, if the dress was to be replaced a Necklace similar to the detailing could be added.

These photos above show how a combination of 2,3 or 4 of the items I intend to use in my shoot can be put together. The top image, has pretty much every aspect in there, the Jeans (shorts in the picture), the T-Shirt (the top in the picture), the bag, and Jewellery are all present.

The Bottom left image has for the main bulk of the image, 2 of the items, the T-Shirt (the top in the image) and the Jewellery.

The bottom right image has potentially, 3 items, The Jeans (denim shorts in the image) the T-Shirt (the blue top) and the bag, also with the position of the models left hand/wrist could also have a watch/Bracelet.

This image shows a good representation of how a full body shot could show off the outfit (which in my shoot will be Jeans and T-Shirt), and the Jewellery.

This image would again be a good pose to use, not only will I be able to include every aspect of the shoot, it also allows a closer frame than the previous image. With the position of the hand and the use of the box as well I would also be able to do a close up shot of the bag, crop it just above the wrist, therefore showing off the Jewellery as well.

One of the many Photographers who have shot for Levi's Jeans is David Vasiljevic his website can be found here: http://www.davidvasiljevic.com/ and follow the link to the advertising pages.

The above link takes you to some product photography for a company called Bella Legs, the product is the leggings/leg warmers, to show off the range and versatility of the product, they have done multiple outfit changes and thy are all full body shots, in order to show off the full outfits that the product has been put with.

This is just one of the many shots on the link, and it i close to the sort of studio work I will be doing, simple white background, main focus on the model and the "products" she is wearing, fairly tight frame to keep the attention on the model.

The above 2 images are agin the style of shots I will do in the studio, simple plain backgrounds, focus/attention on the models and the "products" she is wearing, I like these 2 images together as it shows the difference between colour and Black and White images, as it is the same model in the same outfit, just a different pose.

These 2 images show how close up's of the actual products also work well/better on a model than just on a white box. Again the black and white images give them another dimension to the colour which I suspect wouldn't have had much more colour in them anyway.  

This is a perfect example of the kind of image I will be aiming for in my studio shoot, 1 model, simple lighting, simple pose. 

So this image is a good example of how I could imcorparate Jewellery into the shoot, still a simple plain background, but with just the Jewellery on the model this is the attention of the shot.
More images like this can be found on the website I found this one from, which is http://somaphotos.com/blog/?p=723
The other option for Jewellery is to do close up shots of it, but again still on a model, much like the xample below. The basis is still much the same, well lit and against a simple background.
