To help us get inspired and start to pick out our underwear styles me and beckie hit the high-street to look for some pieces that we liked and that we might want to use in our photo shoot. We both really liked delicate underwear, that has less structure and is more dainty. We decided our target market was people around our own age, who keep up to date with fashion and loves a good product. were also looking into ASOS for our chosen magazine to use our images in. so taking ASOS in mind they're very quirky, and fun when their selling their products which is what were trying to portray in our shoot. 

With the delicate and pretty underwear styles were looking into its as if we are trying to show a certain innocence through a sensual product by linking it with nature and natural occurrences that aren't normally deemed 'sexy.' 

The shops i looked into were H&M, NewLook, Boux Avenue, and Victoria Secret. I wanted to see what they offered us to fit into our style. But so far I have bought underwear from Ann summers, Primark and TKMaxx for the shoot. (Pictures below) these pieces will be used in our Autumn style images, With them all being nudes, browns and tan's they're really earthy colours, I'm still looking for some green items to add to these. 

( post about ASOS following shortly.) 

When researching further in to still life image of lingerie type clothing I particularly liked the use of natural light in shots taken by windows. I love the look of the light from the window filtering through the delicate pieces of underwear really drawing attention to how fragile and beautiful they look. I would really like to try and take a shot like this for our final shoot. 

Another way I particularly liked still images of lingerie was when a white background was used, whether that be white wood or just plain white, with light coming in from the side highlighting each part of the lingerie; very much like the bottom right image.

When delving more into the still life world of lingerie I stumbled across this helpful website that includes images of lingerie photographed in still life. I comprised the images in illustrator and posted them here for extra inspiration.
