Costumes, Hair and Make-up

Claudia

My idea for Claudia's costume came from the idea of the 'Perfect American Family' or at least how it is represented on TV. I envisioned that Claudia and Quentin's apartment was set in a rich part of town in New Orleans. The images that sprung to mind were what women were wearing in the 50's, almost like a stepford wife.

This is my idea for Claudia's hair and to do this I'm going to create a really big blow-dried look with the front pulled back and waved.

For Claudia's make-up I've decided to stick to the 50's theme and create a slick black liner with a rouge/full lip with flawless skin and soft contouring.

In my shoot I've decided to use a china teapot and teacup as this is what I imagined Claudia doing in the opening scene of my chosen series as Quentin enters the room. 

Quentin

Quentin's costume is quite simple embracing the 50's businessman with neat slick hair and buisiness attire. I want him to appear cocky in my photography with high cheekbones and tanned shiny skin.
