A Photoshot Called DISASTER!

Nobita, the model agent, also my partner in crime. Ever.

What will you get when combine photographer who cannot distinguish dress and skirt with a fashion photoshot? Disaster.

Everything seemed simple in my imagination turned into something complicated when it talk about wardrobe. What dress the model should wearing. I even don’t have any idea what “the dress” is. It is something white and silky? Or red and cotton?

I think it would be okay if I combine a red tank top and blue jeans. But friend of mine told me that combination will not fit with the message of WRP photo product. It should be show the Curve of the model’s body. Then he suggested me to use a simple white short sleveless dress (Do you get what I mean? Is that correct fashion terminology?). It should be silky so we’d get that Curve (or in my friend’s term: “the line”).

So what’s the lesson I got from this first my fashion photoshot?

1. I have to make everything clear in my head. Concept. Treatment. Wardrobe. Model. Reff pose. Background. Everything. So, there are no more doubt while I am pressing the shutter button.

2. If I wanna do a fashion photoshot, I need to learn something about fashion. Then I supposed to be fall in love with fashion. How could you photograph something you don’t even like it? The result would be terrible, I guess.

3. Be brave. As you know, I am not a fashionable person. There are many people outta there whom are the one. I don’t have any dress. They do. I don’t have any high heels. They do. All I need is talk to them and ask their help.

4. If you still dunno what to do with fashion, maybe this is not your destiny. Simply check your background and ask yourself what kind of photography fit to you? Do you like photograph people, or flower or your pets? Be honest to your self.

5. Photoshot, as many aspect of your life, should be done with so much fun! If it’s not, then leave it.

That’s it, pals!

ps: thanks a lot for Lia Puspita Damayanti for being my model. Really appreciate that! ;D
