We had a slight mishap with the costume as one of the band members was misinformed about the smart monochrome dress we had decided on, there was not enough time tonight to run home and change so we decided on a reshoot tomorrow lunch to make up for it. Despite this, we didn't waste the time we had so we took individual profile photos of the two remaining band members who were dressed for possible photo set edits we could use if we decide to do a foldy out booklet.
As inspiration for these band shots, we used a few black and white images of the XX where the shadow was quite dramatic making the photos look more dynamic. To replicate this effect we turned off one of the studio lights and used reflector boards to aim the light underneath the band members faces to get the dramatic indie look we wanted. The we played about with the aperture of the camera to make sure just the right amount of light got into the camera without it looking over/under exposed but still having a dramatic shading effect. Overall I would say today was still a successful shoot!
