I used to take test shots for models composite cards, so we could experiment as much as we liked. I was shooting a 6' black cat-walk model and decided to wrap her up in 'gold fablon', with bow and pork-pie hat. It looked really good but she couldn't move, let alone walk. My immediate image of the model is; Short dark hair, face,striking rather than pretty, stay away from pretty, slightly dangerous, wearing something feminine in deep purple and pearl grey and maybe a scarf or sash in peppermint green? A wide utility belt, gunfighter stylie? Lighting; moody but safe. Contrasting Accessories; 'Junk Yard' chic, Refined and shiny, polished steel with a 'thrown together, used anything that was at hand' look. As far as effects with digital gear I haven't a clue. Try the happy accident routine but make sure you keep a record, so you can find it again if it works. Location; For me, in the junk yard, finding your jewelery and caught in the act. soft spotlight effect. I always found it best to go mad at first then refine it to 'a little mad' if necessary. Hope this has been of some help.
