The geisha shoot

For some, the creation of an image presents many barriers. Many images are created by calibrating with models and make up artists

Having storyboards and moodboards does help. I often start with sketches, lighting diagrams and colour swatches. 

Sketches will allow me to work out how much time  is required. That time can be split between make-up artist and photographer and also allow the model to have breaks if required

Lighting diagrams are used to create Kit lists. I will often add pose sketches to this allowing everyone involved to have an understanding of my ideas

Colour swatches are used as a guide to how the final image will look
