Proposal:

For this assignment, I plan to photograph a fairy tale themed image. I will look at different fairy tales, but at the moment i am looking at red riding hood. I also want to photograph  a book and think about overlaying the words on the image. My reason for choosing this theme is because books make children more imaginative and open their eyes to new possibilities.


I am going to photograph using my digital, Canon 1100D and have my images in colour. This is because I want the bright red of the cape, if i chose red riding hood, against a forest. I may try film, as the vintage feel and grain may add to the image.
My images will be mainly fashion and could be seen in a magazine or a professional photography portfolio.  They will show entertainment and give viewers ideas for fashions and outfits.

I don't need any skills, except learning to use location lighting.
I will need the location lighting, which can be sourced in college. I hopefully should gain access when I need but I could book it out for a specific day. 


I wont need permission to photograph in the rural area around me. I already have a model saying she will be photographed. I need to source the cape and any other outfits, perhaps a basket , if I do red riding hood.  If i chose any other fairytale, I will need to look at the outfits and scenes. 

I can see a few issues with this plan, one being tripping over leads and lighting being damaged while shooting in a location. This means I will need someone to guard and warn any passers-by about the cables. 

I will need to research other photographers to gain inspiration and look at angles of their images. I may also look at the fairytale, maybe red riding hood?, and see any key points i could work from. I need to find a time suitable for the model to be shot and where I can find the cloak/cape from.
