Danielle is the model I want to use for my little red riding hood book cover. She will work well on my cover as she has all the features I needed for this topic. I wanted a petite girl with long dark hair, as this is how the cartoon red riding hood appeared in the fairy tale.
The red long coat also fits in well with the image I am trying to create, as it resembles the cape from the story. As I am doing a horror twist for my dust cover the red coat connotes blood and mystery.
I want her expression to be dark and dull, looking downward. I don’t want her to make eye contact with the viewers, as it will ruin the mystery feel to the image. The hood on the coat it up creating shadow on her face, which also makes it more dramatic. Her hands are slotted in the pockets to give off a laid back posture and to intimidate the viewers.
When shooting this image properly I will use the studio with the lights so it’s more professional. I will then edit the photograph on Photoshop to emphasise the darkness and shadows in the image.
