Preparation for the Photoshot

Today I've been researching photographer that incorporate identity in there work.
Herring and Herring tribal photography engaging in art direction and fashion photograph produce amazing story telling photo shoot.
Beyonce's appears in an African photo shoot for L'Officiel Paris 'African Queen' 90nth anniversary.
Deola sagoe is a two-time international award winner creating designs that truly celebrate Africa.

Poses: face shot , full length body shot, sitting down, hands on face emphasising African beauty.

Lighting: black back drop shows a warm feel when using soft lighting on figure. full figure shots soft lighting at the back. face shot use reflective on opposite side of the light making the image look less harsh.

Costume: Fancy dehra showing more contemporary style, head band beaded jewellery, gold hoops , dark maroon lipstick and eyeliner showing a earthy Afrocentric feel to the image.
