Photo Planning

I am using Lauren and Nicole as my models. They are required to pose in various positions. I have told them what to wear for the shoot, and Lauren will wear an oversized tartan checked shirt with cranberry coloured checks, I want the makeup to be grunge inspired so I will be doing cranberry coloured eye makeup which will be quite messy. As she is going to be photographed I need her skin to look flawless, which means I will have to conceal blemishes on her skin, however I will not be using concealer under her eyes as I want to give her a tired sort of look which goes with the grunge theme. As for the lips I will use a nude lipstick so it kind of gives her a dead washed out look. Nicole will wear an oversized floral shirt, and in some pictures, a bowler hat. For her makeup, I want it to be 60s mod inspired, which means she needs to have flawless skin. The eyes need to be clean with neutral colours but a defined crease, almost like a cutcrease but a bit more blended, the eyeliner will be winged but quite thin, I will use a bit of black under the eye, but not in the waterline, to give her eyes a doll like appearance. Her look will give off an Indie vibe which is also one of the genres for my magazine. Lauren and Nicole both have big, curly hair which I have told them to keep natural as I think it will look good in my pictures.
I am using my living room as the location, as the walls are white and there is good lighting as there is a lot of natural light coming in. However there are some risks e.g. if some of the decorations in the living room fall on the models, if this does happen I will give ice to the models. To minimise the risks of this happening I will remove all the decorations surrounding the area I will take my pictures in.
As Lauren will represent grunge I have asked for her facial expressions to be quite simple. I want her to look like she doesn't really care as this kind of behaviour represents grunge. I want Nicole to have more happy/dreamy facial expressions as she will represent the genre of indie music. Indie music is often represented as happy and outgoing so I want Nicole to reinforce this.
It will take about 1 1/2 hours to set up as I need to do their makeup and sort the costume out. Obviously I will use a camera and a tripod.
