Ideas for our photoshoot

After looking at all the images, and ideas we had collected so far, we met up as a group to decide what style of look we were going for for our model.
We came to the conclusion that it would work really well to make our 'Queen' look quite sophisticated and glamorous, but with a slight twist i.e hair extensions, coloured fingernails etc. The reason we decided on this was because we wanted it to related back well to the original queen, and the image of her on the english bank note, but still to be slightly different.
Originally we were going to make her style extremely out there and different, with influences from the punk style and The Sex Pistols, instead of using this inspiration for the styling of the models, we are going to use the inspiration in the way the model poses, her hair and her make-up, we thought this would give an interesting twist to the original queen.
We have decided on 4 outfits for our queen to wear, with different hair styles for each. We are going to keep the make-up the same throughout to have some consistency. One thing we decided on was that we are now going to have a 'Prince/King' in some of the images, to add variety and to make some of the shots more interesting.
Instead of just keeping each image the same and having our model copy the queens pose, we decided to look at some images of the royal family for inspiration for our photoshoot, to make it seems a bit different and for it not to turn out boring.

This first image is of Kate and William announcing their engagement. You can tell that they are both extremely happy, and are standing in elegant poses. If we were to recreate this image then we could have the same idea as the male and female model, and give it a slight twist, with what the female model looked like, and how she was posing.

This next image is a different idea to the one above, but it could work really really well for our photoshoot. This picture shows the Queen sitting on a chair surrounded by Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, and Prince William. For our photoshoot we could recreate this just with the queen and one of the Prince's standing near her. It could just depend on her pose, and how she acts with the Prince.

These are just a couple of the many images that we could use as inspiration for our "Queen" photoshoot. We know exactly how she is going to be styled, and we have some great ideas for her posing. I have found a large selection of magazine tear-outs which we can use to show the model how we want her to pose, and for her to get inspiration from them and interpret them in her own way, which I hope will get her to start posing in which way she thinks suitable.
