When it came to the photoshoot I was really happy with my model, the location, and what I had for styling. My model was Zanna Long, my location was at her home, against a very simple warm toned wall, and for styling I had my many, many receipts.
I began with the shots that I had planned. With Zanna covered with the large piece of paper made by attaching many of the receipts together. I styled her just as I had practiced on the mannequin beforehand. Some other planned shots were of Zanna's head and eyes being covered in loose receipts. I think these shots came out really well and so I decided to then go with my instincts and shoot whatever ideas came into my head. There was some really good natural sunlight coming in from the bay window in the house and so I used this, and it meant that I didn't have to hire out any equipment that would make getting to the location for the shoot difficult.
I took advantage of the natural light and placed Zanna in front of the window, seated on a stool, although I made sure it was covered in the receipts so it wasn't visible, and placed Zanna's back to some clear double doors which gave an unplanned yet interesting beachy vibe to the shot. In this shot I also attached the receipts in an unplanned way. I tucked them into the straps of the leotard in a rough way, and the photos that came from it were some of my favourite from the shoot.
I was really happy with my shoot, but I could deffinitely take it further with more experimentation.
