This is a photo-shoot inspired by Vaudeville. I'll be using these images to add to my portfolio to advertise a new service I will be providing, Boutique Photography. This is going to be a super fun adventure for me, this branch out. It will include scouting locations, finding props, the perfect costumes and a lot of interaction with my clients. These aren't your typical sit down photos you get at Walmart or Sears. These photo-shoots are on location, in full costume and full of theatrics and fantastical imagination. These are for fun and totally awesome. These shoots will be offered as package deals and there is a package for every budget. I'll get into all that shortly but for now I'll get into this shoot and the stuff you need to know as a portfolio participant.
Why am I doing this for free?
Well, this is practice for me and I don't currently have any photos to show clients I can actually do this. I'm sure if you were planning on purchasing a package you would want to know what I was capable of as a photographer and creative thinker. These images will go into my portfolio of ad photos. Consent forms will be passed out before the shoot.
What are these consent forms?
These forms basically say I have permission to use your images to show others what I'm capable of. They also state that I'm not going to use these photos for anything shady. For example, your image will never end up on some scandalous website nor will I do anything weird to your photos to make you look bad or shame you. The forms also state that at anytime you can call me up and ask me to take your photos down and I will comply. It basically protects us both.
What about costumes and props?
Well this is where things get fun and I get to have more interaction with my clients than I normally would. You will have a say in which props and costumes you use. I will ask for sizes and all that and if the shoot calls for some skin as in this case it might, I'll ask how conservative you want to go. This particular shoot is a tribute to Vaudeville. These are the kinds of shots I want to recreate and use as inspirations. (click images to see larger photos).
Props will include all sorts of fun and interesting items such as hula hoops, knives, balloons, feathers, ropes, etc. Costumes will be awesome (haven't found them yet but they will be awesome) and locations are still being scouted. Think vintage silent movies, circus performers, damsels being tied to train tracks (no one will actually be tied to train tracks). Depending on how many people volunteer to participate hair will be included. (P.S I'm looking for a stylist to hang out with us on the shoots and a makeup person will pay for services or trade).
What are the details?
