Precautions for my Studio shoot

As what I had noted in a few of my previous blog posts surrounding my photo shoot specifically designated for the magazine cover,  I have majorly struggled to obtain suitable models for my photo due to last minute cancellations and inconveniences, this not only made it extremely difficult to actually shoot the images, in addition it also nearly lost me the opportunity to photograph in the studio at Shiney Row campus as this had to be booked in advance - if I had to abandon my chance then this would mean re-organising for access which could take weeks to achieve.  As I am aiming to replicate a Q orientated product, I was attempting to replicate there covers to the core therefore I needed my models to be exposed to a white backdrop of some kind to reverberate a neutral yet studio feel. In the emergency that I could not get permission to use the studio for a second time if the models continued to cancel then it was necessary for me to consider an alternative location to capture the photos. Immeditally what came to mind was setting up the shoot in my own home, however the environment was very unrealistic as to what would be expected of a professional encounter as I would lack the correct equipment (such as lighting props, a suitable backdrop etc) and in doing so I could lose valuable marks on my coursework. In an attempt to overcome this issue I discovered several white washed walls in my own home I was hoping to use as a 'fake' background that could replicate a studio setting (I would be lacking in camera equipment and lighting) but despite this I was hoping the white of the walls could act as an appropriate substitute. It would be fairly straightforward for me to edit these images on the photo editing software to the degree they could be perceived to have been taken in a studio if i manipulated the consistency correctly, so I was not too concerned they would be degraded in appeal or valour. Below are some images of the said walls I intend to use in my household.

From what can be identified I would need to modify the images once they had been took if I was to use my home as the mode of shooting location, there are noticeable creases around the door frames and the mirrors hanging up interfere with the white space provided so these would have to be photoshopped out with employment of the crop icon once on an editing software. I felt it was beneficial for me to be prepared in this manner should the unfortunate situation arise that another studio shoot wasn't grated.

Positively it arised that both a male and female model would be available to me for the dates and times at the studio, therefore it participating in my own home was not essential anymore as I now had access to a professional environment. It was good knowledgee for me to plan ahead like this as it gave me other possibilities to take into account if my original plan went awary. However if it came to a last minute decision I would need to obtain extra images for some reason then I know I will have the correct environment to capture them in as a final option.
