Coats Shoot

I've been photographing for fun for quite awhile now, and I really wanted to get into some serious fashion photography, but just never really had the chance to. I applied to be a photographer for BARE magazine last year, UC Berkeley's first fashion magazine, but they never contacted me for any shoots. I was just getting into photography when I applied, and I didn't really have that many great samples to show. So last Sunday, I decided to take the initiative to go to BARE magazine and apply once again to be their photographer, this time, I brought 10 samples of what I think is the best of my work so far. Then yesterday, they contacted me to do their upcoming coats shoot. WOO!! I love coats! So excited!! and a little nervous!! I went to their production meeting today to go over the schedule, shooting location, theme, meet the models etc. This will probably be the most formal shoot I've ever done. There will be a makeup artist to do the model's hair and makeup, and the clothes will be from local vintage stores and boutiques. I just hope that the clothes, location, and models are inspiring, so that I can really perform on this shoot. I am nevervous, since I am no where a professional photographer, but this is my chance! This could be my first step into the world of fashion photography! The shoot is on Sunday, and I am already looking around for techniques, tips, and inspirations.
Here are some photos I found that will be my source of inspiration. I really hope that my photography equipments won't limit me on Sunday.
