Catalogue Shoot / Catwalk C L I E N T ’ S B R I E F / TA R G E T

The Gillian Bolton UK Spring/Summer 2011 collection will be shoot simulating a catwalk. Dresses have to fly

showing their lightness and delicacy.

L O C A T I O N / S E T D E S I G N

Amika, main corridor. This location doesn’t need any set

construction, with its arches and chandeliers is already

a perfect environment to show the elegance of the

collection.

A C T I N G

Classic catwalking attitude is required by the models,

who will walk up and down the corridor. We need

correct timing to allow each photo to freeze the

foreground model/dress separated from the other ones

walking in the background.

L I G H T I N G

Beauty dish plus strip box on the foreground model (mark with an X the exact point of shoot). Try different

solutions with softboxes and/or grids to light the other part of the catwalk. The room is black, then we have to

maintain this dark atmosphere, lighting the models only and not walls and ceiling.

C A M E R A

50mm shoot (portrait frame). Short/Medium DoF to catch all the details of the foreground dress, blurry

background.

Advertising Shoot #1C L I E N T ’ S B R I E F / TA R G E T

Women mixing work with their social life. This is the designer’s brief.

It will be a group fashion shoot with six models involved, wearing office work wear such as short tailored jackets,

suits, trousers and dresses.


Amika, Champagne Room. We will use sofas and table to

recreate a lounge bar atmosphere.

Props as drinks (bottles and glasses), bags and accessories

are laying on tables and seats. Spectacles, pens, black heels

and tights, brief case, laptop, phones will enhance the

“secretary&manager look”.

A C T I N G

Lively interacting of people (five female models, one man),

chatting, smiling and drinking. Some movement required to

give dynamism to the scene. The should communicate each

other with non-verbal gestures, using facial expressions and

body language.

Role 1: a woman wearing her work suit is too busy, concentrated in sending emails on her smart phone, not

noticing a guy even if he is trying to get her attention.

Role 2: a very attractive man is seating next to the previous lady, trying to gain her attention, with eye contact or

even kissing her neck, while she is not interested in him, busy with her work.

Role 3: a woman is working on her laptop while drinking a glass of wine.

Role 4: a woman walking to the table wearing a suit with matching briefcase and high heel shoes (shot from 3/4

back).

Roles 5 and 6: two women sat and talking, waiting for the woman #4 joining them at the table. Only one of them

is giving eye contact to the camera.

L I G H T I N G

Beauty dish on the main model (the one in foreground). Grids and strip box on other models and furniture as

disco spot lights (coloured gels?) to catch focus points.

C A M E R A

35mm wide shoot (landscape frame). Medium DoF to catch all the details of main and secondary focal points,

lightly blurry background and foreground (model #4 walking to the table).

The most fundamental point about the group fashion shoot is to show the garments as high quality clothing from

a luxury brand and to explain the position you play in the storyline of the photo shoot, which is about Escapism.

We are seeking a dynamic group action, where people look happy and confident and clothes are shown at best.


Amika, Long Bar (black room).

We will use the bar, the shelves with bottles on the back, sofasand the bubble wall in the background.

A C T I N G

We want to add a glimpse of surrealism to the scene. A

woman will lay with a long dress on the bar top, her long hair

falling down, head up in a confident laugh, holding a glass of

champagne.

The barman (a man in white shirt and bow tie) is serving

behind the desk looking at her with marvelled smile.

Other people in the background are standing, sitting, drinking and chatting as usual club life.

L I G H T I N G

Beauty dish and opposite rim light (with snoot or grid) on the main model. One dedicated light with grid on the

barman. Grids and strip box on other models and furniture as disco spot lights (coloured gels?) to catch focus

points.

C A M E R A

35mm wide shoot (landscape frame). Medium DoF to catch all the details of main and secondary focal points,

lightly blurry background.

After party crowd. All the guests (all the models) are leaving the club, crowded inside the lift. A messy group of

people where garments are worn casually and improperly. Men with lipstick on their faces, women with smudged

make-up.


Amika, the loading bay lift.

A C T I N G

Someone is tired, half sleeping. Someone is still lively

and excited. But everyone is satisfied to having had a

good time.

L I G H T I N G

Beauty dish on the main group of three models. Grids

and strip box on other models and furniture as disco

spot lights (coloured gels?) to catch focus points.

C A M E R A

35mm wide shoot (landscape frame). Medium DoF to

catch all the details of main and secondary focal

points, lightly blurry background.
