Model Studio Shoot Project

1.Project Research and Inspiration

Make a copy of the doc below and work on it.  Check in with the teacher to discuss idea, model, inspiration image, lens, depth of field, studio and lighting plan.

2. Planning and Model Scheduling

Consider a model that you may not know well and has an interesting look.  Send an email, text, snap, or speak in person, but follow up with something in writing, preferably an email confirming the date and time.  

There are a few things to include in any planning corespondence.

Keep it brief, but formal. Use proper spelling, punctuation and their name.  Don't assume they are interested or available, be humble.  Give your availability (time, class, day, date) and ask for theirs.  

Check with Mr. Pistone before sending and include him (and your partner) in the CC (carbon copy) line of the email.
