Tests shot inspiration: Costumes

 

When i researched some picture on riahnna i was mainly noticing a recuring theme of her not wear alot however they were still decent and not offensice pictures The uses of colours were either very bright and in your face or a soft tone for example like the image above. I noticed that in most of the pictures Riahnna uses a cover up approach for example she is holding her legs in the previous image i would like to use this idea in my pictures depending on what clothes i choose will depend on what 'hiding pose' she will model. I would like my models/band members to dress in different clothing for each set of picturesfor example, around ten photos for each outfit and then around 5 different outfits so therefore hopefully they will all be individual. As the main feature i am trying to put across through the artists and her clothing is a bright colour i will ensure that one feature of the outfit will be a bold noticable feature.

 

In particular i was inspired by these images as I noticed that by wearing a bright red coloured skirt in her outfit, it matched her hair surprisingly working well together and giving a constant trend throughout the picture it also grabbed my attention at the red really stood out well this has a good effect because it doesn't look over the top with too many colours and although she is showing alot of skin it still looks very classy and sophisticated. I want to prevent using too much colour and too many differnt ones as the theme is to have one bright colour on the shots.

 

 

 

However on this picture the strips on the jacket work well with the black and white as they also give a bright and contrastin approach compared to her red hair which consequently could class as the bright colour which needs to stand out itself. The stripes also add an R&B style as it adds some style to the outfit as it isnt plain and boring. I might use this idea in some sample shots as well and see how well it works however my artist doesnt have bright red hair like Rihanna so i still may need to use a bright peice of clothing in replace.
