I started to produce the props I was going to use for the photoshoot. The props made my photographs more interesting and created a better atmosphere which reflected to my music genre, indie pop. I collected few materials and produced an oversized flower crown which was inspired by a indie pop singer, Lana Del Rey. 
I prepared my camera, Canon EOS 600D for the photoshoot. I was aware of the safety risk and requirements, therefore I used the strap which was provided with the camera to prevent my camera from any damage. I also charged the battery over night to make sure that I had enough battery throughout the photoshoot day.
I decided to use 2 lenses for my photographs. 1st lens: regular zoom MACRO 0.25m/0.8ft. This lens was very useful for mid shot because it perfectly focused on the object or area I wanted to take the shot of and it zoomed properly which presented the shot clearly.
2nd lens: EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III. This lens had an amazing quality which adjusted the lighting and the focus very effectively. This was an extremely zooming lens, therefore it was useful for establishing and portraits.
I prepared the makeup for the model so that in the pictures she will have a HD and flawless look that enables and brings back the retro look. I chose neutral and browny shades to compliment the nature and to create a natural look.
Location:
1) My first location was in Haggerston Park, however, I did not tend to use the most greenest areas in the park because i wanted to explore and test out more pastel colours or colours that looked more blend able. I found a forest-like place in which I used to take pictures that mostly focused on the model.
2) This was my second location. 'The Goodhood Store' in Hoxton. I chose this location because the colours of the shop really reminded and gave a hint of a vintage and retro look. Also, it was in a narrow street therefore the lighting was very effective in terms of embracing the darker and bright colours.
