Foam Heads
Beth,
Several more notes.
A. The reason I objected to the first shot of Gwen in the chair was that the chair filled the center of the page. The light hit the hard rectangular edge and distracted your eye from the subject. The chair style, color and fabric were not compatible with the dress. A French Bergere chair in black would have provided a nice shape, a dark note to separate it slightly from the background and would have set off the dress nicely.
B. If you do use a floral bouquet, make it large enough so it will show up if you put it slightly behind a figure, instead of off to the side where it is again a distraction.
C. I always ask my clients their heights. I drag around a cheap foam head for wigs on a stand wrapped with the color of the garment. I use this to check focal lenghts, background details,lighting, see if I need some additional props, etc. I treat my models as if they are going to melt in an hour so I try to be really prepared.
Sincerely,
