NO.1 All shooting starts from the theme

Theme customization is very important, just like a movie, what kind of story the director chooses as the shooting script.

Before shooting, I usually communicate with my models or clients about what themes we want to achieve and what styles are suitable for her.

Tone setting: Take the following picture as an example, we first communicated before shooting. The style of this shooting is based on the style of European youth film.

Take the youth film Mustang as an example. This shooting involves modeling and style setting, some of which are based on this film.

Costume and modeling: Try to choose the floral long skirt that is simple, but also more idyllic and girlish. In addition, the model brought a garland that day, while I brought an English book.
