Great job on laying it out. Instead of just explaining you added details of a specific shoot, building on the concept through to choosing a location. Best shoot planning video Ive seen yet

Thanks so much for shooting the BTS mate!

[@ClassicPolly]

This is so interesting to see how you used all the different ways to work out and develop your idea for this photoshoot. Creating mood board on Pinterest is absolutely vital but I never did this "4 images together" trick to tell the story- very cool way to portrait the shoot idea! Stunning images with a dreamy whimsical feel to it.

[@_tommykuo]

Thanks a lot! Glad you found it helpful :)

[@captainxbengex007]

Okay, this concept and video are brilliant. I would love it if you continued with the inspiration being that song, movie or whatever and how it goes. It is nice to see how ideas begin, grow and develop into the final product. Great video.
