Katie Swank Photography: Mock Editorial Shoot

So excited for tomorrow!!! I'm photographing my very first mock editorial photo shoot. I've got so many ideas going through my head!

I will be doing the hair/makeup and photo styling as well as photographing. I'm trying to think of a theme for the shoot so we can play off that. I was thinking something along the lines of, "Player of the field." Where all the shots are in fields or against farm type backdrops with a musical influence.

The fashion for the shoot is revolving around this full green skirt that I had from a renaissance costume. I'll be working on a petticoat later for the added flair of the country/prairie vibe. I found this gorgeous white button down shirt with embroidery detail that would be perfect for the shoot. I also have a navy blue military style jacket that will vibe well.

I'm so excited for the makeup! I'm thinking that I will keep her face extremely pale, block out her eyebrows, extreme black editorial eye makeup with false lashes, and exaggerated lips.

Hair will be either a simple sock bun or something along the lines of a rocker chic updo with the side extremely taught. We'll just see how it goes. I have this awesome feather that I'm going to make into a hair clip.

I can't wait to get started and to show case the photos. There's a chance of rain tomorrow so maybe we can get some awesome clouds since we won't have the same kind of light as on a clear day. If only I had access to a light kit to bring more to the photos. But alas all I lack is money.
