client wanted to execute a pin-up style shoot. We passed around

(through email) various inspirational shots, including positions, hair, makeup, and

clothing. She was a perfect fit for this design. She even provided the clothing.

Music Videos

Even if you aren’t a big fan of MTV or pop music, music videos are an incredible

source of inspiration. Most of them are like 3-minute moving fashion

editorials. Many are highly stylized with great lighting, props, and locations.

If you have popular band or a type of music you like, take some time to watch

music videos and see if any of the looks grab your attention.

For example, in Figure 1. 5, I was watching a music video in which the lead

singer danced in front of a car in haze over the past few shots of the video.

The image was striking, so i wanted to do something similar.

Figure 1. 5 This image was inspired by a visual in a music video of the singer dancing in front of

car headlights on a foggy night.
