Having spent some time with the group I am working with for this project, it seems we have started to build the foundation for our photoshoot next week. The location and model have been chosen and tomorrow afternoon we will be meeting up to pick out some outfits and props. Now that we have a general theme to our shoot its all kind of falling into place.
so far our original ideas are to have a kind of fairytale woodland set, which is why we have chosen to shoot in fairy glen (wigan). the plan is to construct a set around the chosen scene using fairy lights, ornate bird cages and possible a smoke machine etc. inspiration for this is all very Tim Walker in terms of set design. The clothing with be neutral colours like peach, light pink, beige etc. and this will consist of vintage style underwear, floaty dresses and fur coats. Make up for the model will be done for free by either benefit or dior in boots and we will use the portable lighting kits to light the photos. aswel as this flowers will be some how placed around the set up (as there will be none in january!) and possibly in the models hair.

for me these are the most inspirational Tim Walker images
