Portrait shoot proposal

The Portrait Shoot Proposal:
For my shoot I will be taking pictures of my little brother pulling a variety of different of facial expressions poses and his hands to pull interesting and funny faces, I am using him for my shoot because I feel I can work easily with him and he will be cooperative, but also he will be a good fit for my work as he can be expressive through his face which fits with the project. I will be shooting it in some sort of field or forest, a wide area of land which is open at about the time of when the sun is setting because the back drop will make it an interesting end product, but also I will do a second shoot which will be shot inside in a surrounding which will show what he is like and what he is interested in. On my camera I will be using a long lens with a focal length of 55-300mm and I will use either 200 or 300mm to get the quality on my brothers face and the smaller 55mm for the 3 quarter body shot. and I will be using natural light from the sun and maybe the moon depending on the time of day but if the light is not enough during the night I will use flash to capture him. I will use a tripod as my camera will be zoomed in so it won’t be as stable if I hold it on its highest focal length. My work has been inspired by Irving Penn, I feel his work really captures the facial expressions and emotions the person is feeling, in some of his pictures he gets his subjects to hold and pull part of their face which makes an interesting look on the person. I think that idea is quite interesting I think I will be taking his work and incorporating them into my own work.  The target audience for my magazine will be for teenagers about the age of my brother at 12/13 years’ old.
