Artist's Style


Ben's Outfit:
This is a small mood board for my style ideas for Ben. I have been influenced by the style of existing artists like Jack Steadman, Willy Mason, Ben Howard. I think that a shirt and jeans will keep the outfit casual yet smart, I have tried to not make an outfit that will be too formal, like Willy Mason's suits. As the guitar will be a brown colour, I will try and choose a shirt that contrasts against the guitar so the shape will be more defined. I have added a baseball tee as I think that this may make the outfit more casual, but I think that a pale blue or checkered shirt is the more likely top choice.


Chloe's Outfit:
I found it much harder to decide on some outfit ideas for Chloe. I think that this is because Ben will be more of a focal point in the video and I want to choose an outfit that make her not as distinct as ben, but still stand out. I was tempted to lean more towards a dress as this is a simple outfit choice. But I think that a t-shirt and jeans will be more casual and reflect the other existing artists that are similar to the style I hope to achieve - Lucy Rose, Laura Marling. As Ben will have a guitar as a prop that he will be using, I have taken some of my ideas and presented them along with the outfit choice to show what I intend to include in the video. I do not want Chloe to be holding any props as I would like to do some close-ups of her hands to show the delicate side of the video. 
I think that I a natural look on both the make-up and hair style will suit the video and reflect the natural theme of the video.

  1. Well thought out styling ideas. When you shoot your video make sure you get shots of Ben and Chloe in the outfits they eventually wear. This will illustrate the similarity (hopefully) between your planning and the real thing.
