AOB1 - Plan a photoshoot

For my planned photo shoot I am going to take pictures of a guitar for use in a magazine article. Photo's will include shots of the full guitar at different angles as well as close ups on selected parts. There will also be pictures of the guitar on its own or with a model modeling it. The pictures would either be taken with either a green or black background which would be easy to edit if needed. Close ups of the guitar will be from different angles showing up or down the guitar. There will also be a small range of photo types eg. in a different location.
For the photo shoot I will need to book the studio, and also hire/borrow camera's. There will be different lighting arrangements using up to 3 lights. I will also need the guitar I am going to photograph along with a modal to model it.
Pictures may need simple editing such as just adjusting the levels or the brightness and contrast. Other pictures will have more complex editing done, such as black and white (desaturated), adding objects in or out eg. lights, or effects like sketch and brush stokes.
For the photo shoot I will need lights, camera, back drops, guitar and model.
For health and safety, we will need to take care when moving and moving around the equipment, the. The lights will be hot and there will also be wires lying around, so care is to be taken. All work will need to be backed up as well.
Legal and ethical requirements will mean that pictures can not offend anyone or be sexist or racist.
A simple plan would be to arrive, set up all equipment, take plenty of photo's, upload pictures, edit ones that need it.
A typical budget would be:
Studio Rental; £135 per day
Nikon Camera Hire; £45 per day
Camera Lens; 50mm F1.4 G AF-S; £30
;28mm F2.8 D AF0; £28
Models; £225 per day (+expenses)
Make Up Artists; £175 (+expenses)
Props; budget depends on props used.
