In all of my collections, I've tried to keep a constant image ratio, it's easier to imagine and create a project around a product with something regular.
For this session, I choosed to use a square image ration to highlight the "basic" style. It really improve the impact of the streetwear sense of this outfit.
The model and I choosed a different color for the shirt than the pant to bring a variation and a separation of hue and luminance.
I opted for an outdoor shooting to use the golden hour light. Accompanied of a speedlight with a 70*100cm softbox, I could relight the very contrasted areas. It brings a lot of details to the face and all of his right side.
I used the same setup for this pic, the speedlight helps me to create a cool contrast effect without losing details in the shadows. I can control the amount of light on his shoulder and make sure to expose the whole shirt including his face.
For this picture, the sun is the mainlight, I use the speedlight as a "contrast controller". I choosed a closer frame to show more of the details of the shirt, especially the logo in the middle of the chest. It allows us to see more of the shape of the shirt than the previous ones. The low angle enhance the details of the cloth and allows to focus more on the shirt.
I choose to put the logo on every images of this serie to keep consistency. It brings a bit of a "fashion add style", the position of the logo deconstruct the idea of a regular fashion product and follow the originality and simplicity of this outfit.
