Brief
For this brief, your art director is a head designer for a leading fashion label, and they are looking for a photographer to deliver dynamic, modern and stylish images that will fit with their brand.
For this particular shoot they have designed two simple sketches as ideas only, they are not necessarily to be adhered to. Your art director has also provided you with a mood board of ideas on Pinterest to give you an idea of the vibe of the images that they like.
It is the photographers role to create their interpretation of the style of image that will best suit the brands ethos and audience.
Subject
You may use any handbag you choose but must be aware that floppy materials are not synonymous with this brand.
Styling, Props and Background
The lighting style will be decided by the photographer, soft or hard lighting are both acceptable as long as the product is the hero and the identity is strong.
Floating handbags are also acceptable as long as there remains some sort of shadow that keeps the product 'in contact' with its surrounding.
Products can also be touching the ground but elevated at an angle would be preferred rather than standing normally on the surface
Product also can be laid on their back, but if so, some type of layering or block system of supporting cast would be preferable.
Please refer to the mood board provided as examples and ideas.
