It's a parka/hoodie made to look like a fighter jet, it's really cute. It would definitely be cute for an anthropomorphised fighter jet to wander around on a sunny day and do stuff.
Product page here, I have the blue Mitsubishi F-2 model: https://silhouette-web.stores.jp/items/5a3d2ce0c8f22c44bb000973
They also made a cap and stockings to go with it. The stockings are made to mimic shock diamonds from jet exhaust, which is super cool.
Time
Afternoon and evening, enough to catch a bright day with mostly clear skies, and then a low setting sun for something moody. A little bit of dusk/night for artificial lighting, like flares and green-tinted runway lights, but it's no good once the sun is gone completely.
Location
Possibly indoors for some generic Pretty photos, but mostly outside. Necessary features:
- Short grass
- Tarmac/road
- Cyclone fence, like the type around airports
Mascot or Bankstown airport may suit. Bankstown is pretty convenient, and should have an accessible area behind the big Bunnings warehouse thing.
- Marion St on the north side is residential and looks like there's a park with a good view
- There's a roundabout near the back side of Bunnings, on the southeast corner of the airport, close to tarmac, this is pretty good
- Allingham St west end looks alright but a long way from tarmac
- Wackett St attached to Bankstown Basketball Stadium totally does not have an open accessible fence past the closure
Props and items
Having a little model plane for photos would be cool: https://twitter.com/hiroyuki03011/status/972804342670438400
- Aviator sunglasses, the mirror-reflective ones
- The parka ships with a red Remove Before Flight tag on the zipper, that's good for a pose or two
- Holding and using a red flare would be cool, not sure how safe that'll be. Might be able to fake one, it needs to burn really intensely and ideally in a reddish colour
- A helmet with full face visor, dunno where I'd borrow one
- Cockpit headphones with intercom mic thing
If I'm going to source flares it'd be from Whitworths I think: https://www.whitworths.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?category=173&q=flare
The red or white flares (non-smoke) are $15~$20 and burn for 60sec. They'll be damn bright, I don't know how excessive that'll be for photography. Need to check legality of use, and a location where they wouldn't cause trouble for anyone else.
Posing
Nice casual pose: you_sitting_crosslegged.jpg
- Waking up in an airy high-key bed setting, or maybe can find something a bit grittier and contextual. Bunk bed would be good, more dorm-ish
- Playing with model plane
- Or paper plane
- Jumping made to look like flying/floating
- Something to do with the afterburner socks
- Nyoom~ pose, like... this: ⊂二二二（ ＾ω＾）二⊃
- Do something with the Remove Before Flight tag, maybe hold it in teeth while smirking, or dangling from fingertips
- If I can find a helmet, look like a fighter pilot, helmet under one arm and walking
Shot ideas
Wandering around, lying on the grass watching the clouds.
Posing with sunglasses, looking cool/silly
Standing on/near tarmac with signalling flares, will be a very contrasty and intense look
Logistics
Need to test for length, best with some plain dark shorts I think. Ideally will be pretty long when worn.
