List of resources

For my photoshoot to work I will need a number of different resources whether that be weather conditions or clothing, for example:
1) I need the model to have a dress out that slightly exposes her figure and captures attention from my audience.
2)For he double page spread photo I need my model to have casual clothing on which will juxtapose the elegant look from the front cover.
3)I need it to be night time so that there is no light beams visible which could potentially ruin the dark seriousness of the article
4)I need a professional camera/iPhone camera to make the picture as clear as possible.

Model organisation

I have take a screenshot of mine and my models' conversation using Imessage and telling her what kind of outfits to wear of her own choosing as long as I fits my needs and telling her where to meet me and what day too.
