Brief for istock

I have decided that in order to stand the best chance of one of my images being accepted into the online image library that I will produce a number of different shots. I plan to shoot several food related shots, as well as corporate shots and finally some sports images.
This obviously will take a lot of planning and will be very time consuming and so like always my time management will be under pressure.
I want to create a range of shots that have different techniques for example the style of lighting used. Some I will shoot in natural daylight, others will be shot in studio with flash, tungsten or a combination of the two. I also plan to use a variety of angle and close ups within my selected images.

For the food shoot I want to shoot a variety of products using different backgrounds and props. I want to try and achieve 5-6 different shots and plan to shoot over several days to get the best that I can from my abilities and not rush the project.Because food photography takes some time, I have already planned what I will need and have started to assemble the props together. To ensure that the food is very fresh, I will buy it on the morning of the shoot and cook it in the studio kitchen. This will also take me quite sometime as I am fulfilling the role of a home economist as well as the photographer, and so I will have to factor this into my timing plan for the day.
