What props will you need?

Make-Up

I want my model to look very glamorous to ensure the fast majority of people will aspire to be like her. I want her eye make up to be soft but fairly dark to make her eyes stand out. I also want her lips to look very plump, red and glossy as this it how most women desire to have their lips. I want her cheeks to be a soft pink as this wont draw the eye away from the bold eyes and lips. The glamorous model will create a stronger relationship with the target audience and therefore they are more likely to buy it.

 

 Costume

I want my model to be wearing a short black dress, as this will really bring out the colours of her eyes and lips. It will also stand out well on the white background of my front cover. I want it to be fairly short as showing a small part of the leg will also create a window for future self as it something that the target audience may way to wear. However I don’t want the dress to revealing as I want her to look classy and admirable.

 

Studio shoots: what kind of lighting?

I will be using butterfly lighting as the imagery in this photo shoot is glamorous and therefore this lighting is the most flattering.  This will also help create a window to future self.

Backdrop:

I will be using a white backdrop as from my audience research this showed to be the most popular with my target audience as it looked the most professional.

Lighting equipment needs:

• Soft box
• Brolly
• 2 lights
