Photoshoot

What is the point of a photoshoot? Apart from having some cool pictures to show off all around?

We thought about it. We did not want to go out and just take random pictures, at random places, with random clothes, with random poses. Every aspect and detail is important.

We spent hours brainstorming ideas. First off, we had to decide what we wanted to portray through the pictures, and what theme we wanted, all of that within the idea of the album. We wrote every single idea down. You never know what could slip out of your mind.

Not only you have to think of the artist's stand point, you also have to think about the photographer. What kind of camera is being used? Will lighting be an issue? Day shots or night shots? Close up/portrait shots, or band shots? Will the colors of the surroundings be a problem? Will we have to rely on photoshop? I'm no photographer, but you have to think and take into consideration little details like that.

Last but not least, after picking where to do the shoot, you have to make sure everyone can make it on the same day. Quite banal you might think, but little did we know there was a misunderstanding on what the exact date of the shoot and we had to reschedule last minute. Even when you try to be organized, the simplest thing can go wrong.

Anyways, after a good and long morning spent walking around taking pictures, we know all the preparation for the shoot paid off. We wanted to do something that looked professional for as cheap as possible. You be the judge. Here's a little preview.
