How the Stanica shoot was made: behind the scenes step by step | D'POSE STUDIO

Stanica shoot, behind the scenes – D'POSE STUDIO

This article is in progress. We are gradually adding videos from building the set, photos of our notes, the inspiration and captions for each frame. The outline and the story are ready, the content will follow.

Behind every good photo is a lot of work you never hear about. Step behind the scenes of the Stanica shoot: from the idea, through preparation and styling, to the final frames.

Concept and idea

Every shoot starts with an idea that gradually turns into a concrete vision. For the Stanica shoot too, we first worked out the mood, the location and the story we wanted the photos to tell, and only then moved on to preparation and the shoot itself.

The story of how the idea was born goes here. (To be added later.)

The timeline of the shoot goes here. How the process went step by step, from idea to execution. (To be added later.)

How we planned it

Before we built anything, we sat down with our notes. We sketched out how the shoot would run, what the background should look like and what we wanted the photos to say. We will add photos of our actual notes and sketches here, so you can see how the idea took shape on paper.

Photos of the notes go here. Pose sketches, the layout of the background and the shoot plan. (To be added later.)

Inspiration

To get a clearer picture, we gathered a few references and inspiration photos. It was not about copying, more about tuning into the right atmosphere, colours and mood we wanted to achieve.

Inspiration goes here. The photos and references we drew from. (To be added later.)

What we needed for the set

Once we had a vision, we wrote down everything we needed for the background and the scene. Some of it we had at home, some had to be sourced or built.

Materials and fabrics for the background
Props and accessories for the scene
Little details that set the overall mood
Things we had to make ourselves

The list and photos of the items go here. Exactly what we used for the background and the scene. (To be added later.)

Sourcing and building the set

Building a set is always a proper chunk of work. We sourced things for the background and gradually put the scene together. We will upload videos of building the set and the background here, so you can see how it all came together from a bare scene to a finished set.

Videos of building the background go here. How we assembled the scene step by step. (To be added later.)

The outfit and styling

Choosing the outfit was an important part. We tried several pieces, some worked right away, others we dropped after a test even though we liked them. We will add here what we finally went with, what matched the background and which pieces did not make it into the final look.

The outfit choice goes here. What we used and what stayed aside, even though we had counted on it. (To be added later.)

Gear and lighting

Finally, the scene had to be lit and the gear dialled in. We will add here what gear and lights we used, how we lit the scene and what we changed during the shoot so the result fit the overall mood.

Gear and light go here. The equipment used, the lighting setup and why we did it this way. (To be added later.)

Behind the scenes
