Exactly. The camera doesn't generally approve, but I have been practicing with the light white balance, so it should be okay. Red or Black is a good stark contrast I think. Also one outfit just of your choice we can do if you want. But I plan on doing sort of a contrasty thing.
Nah, not the plan. The only real shots of people I've done was for the paper, but they were only passable. The artistic thing is kind of a nice change. I usually didn't have time to worry about how pretty those pictures were.
