Concept: I am going to take photos inspiration from the style of photos taken by Ishiuchi Miyako of Frida’s possessions. Instead I am going to photograph my grans purse collection, I think this will give the same effect as they are old and have a sense of mystery and secrecy around them. i think the idea that these relics are not rare and in a way a forgotten treasure now will help to tie this photoshoot to the title of secrets codes and conventions.

Location: I will take photos In front of a white infinity screen which I will make by draping a sheet over the sofa to make a curve and give the photos a clean and professional look, it will also help the beauty of the individual items to stand out and look the same style asIshiuchi Miyako’s work. 

Lighting: I will use natural lighting which will come in through a south facing skylight, this means the room will be very bright but not in direct sunlight.

Camera settings: I will use the manual setting on my camera so i can change the exposure and shutter speed depending on the lighting and the item i am photographing.

Props: I will need a plain white background and possibly a tri-pod to create a studio style setup. I will also need to gather the coin purses I will be taking pictures of for this shoot.
