We started off doing a head-shot while her make-up was fresh. Also, it was going to be an easy shot to begin working together with. I set up a "beauty-box" set-up which was a head shot into a 60" umbrella. There was a reflector directly blow Gwen's chest and a fill-card to camera left. Also, there was a gridded hair-light illuminating her hair.
Gwen asked if we could shoot a photo similar to these shots in a series which I'm working on. I had no problem with that request. We shot a lot, and settled on a select few, but this was the best one:
The next set-up was actually my jacket! It's a Guess Jacket and it makes me feel like a bad-ass when I wear it. It kinda felt like we were doing a commercial for race-cars or something.
