Help! I need advice!

[Sally_Cyanide]

I've got a shoot coming up on Thursday and I haven't had much time to plan so I need some quick ideas for costumes. I already have one that I know for sure but any general tips/advice for figuring out a few more outfits would be brilliant - I have to be able to a. afford it and b. carry it on the train as it's a shoot I'm travelling to. I want to make a good impression on these photographers :)

anything big enough to cover your midsection. Then wear a strapless bra and panties, and hold it in front of you. You'll look naked, but won't be.

Some ideas are:

pillow
vintage suitcase
really big hat
fans
poster board with a cute saying on it

you get the idea.

Lets see some items, can you take pics? Mix and match is always a great way to get a new outfit.

Simple and classy! To me It's in the attitude not necessarily the clothes (sometimes)

I always start by feeling out the theme of the shoot. I'm guessing you're going for a pin-up shoot, but what colours are most of your outfits? Or is there a particularly idea/theme runnign through? (e.g. diner theme or beach/summer theme etc.)

In terms of outfits, if there's anything that you think may come in useful, just take it. It's often the things that I hadn't really planned to wear that the photographer wants to see.

Hope this helps a bit. :)

Aww thanks guys for all the help! I think I know what I'm doing now lols... fingers crossed for tomorrow x

The vintage suitcase is a great idea especially if you can have the photogher meet you at the train station and have them take a picture of you getting on / off the Train. Try one foot on the stairs and one on the suitcase etc. a vintage hat maybe vail would be good as well.
