For this assignment, we tried with michael to both find two nice places that could be interesting for our final photo. The one called Plan A is my favorite, but it includes windows and first, we will be shooting in the morning so the light won't be the same next time, and, we don't know what the weather will look like. That's why we thought about a "Plan B". In my case, I will do the shoot in the stairs of the lobby, without including any window. This is safer in order to have a good shot even if the weather is bad because it actually excludes the outside environment.

Anyways, I really like both of these two compositions that were shot in the same place actually so I think I will try both if we have the time. This way, I will have more options to choose what is the best place to enhance my model.

To imitate the natural light in the environment and increase its power, we will probably use two white lightnings by bouncing them on the high ceilings.
Plus, we can see on these three digi-polaroids that a highlight in the eyes is missing so we are going to bring different smaller light sources such as a reflector disc, or a speedlight to add a bit of kick to the photo.

My model is a real state agent. As she is propably going to wear black clothes, I'll be carefull to keep details in the blacks. I asked her to be professionaly dressed as when she receives clients and to bring an agenda or someting she often uses to have an accessory just in case we would like to add something in the shot.
