Shoot Number 1
Plans for the shoot
Today I’m going to use myself
as a model and shoot in the studio. The subject of the shoot will be Issues,
more specifically Body Issues and being ‘skinny’ or boney as such, as as I
create a bigger portfolio of work, I want to shoot different body types and put
them all together to produce a piece of work. I will put the camera on self
timer and on a stand in order to shoot myself and also, if need be, give
direction to a fellow student if I wanted a more closer shot or one of a
different angle which couldn’t be achieved from having the camera on a stand. I
will use quite dull lighting but enough to enhance body shapes and features as
I want the emotion in the shoot to be quite dark.
What I hope to achieve
I hope to achieve shots from
a variety of angles and also ones including long and short/macro distance. I
hope to do the shooting in under an hour so I have enough time to edit some and
also go shoot some more if I feel the need to or get inspiration. I’d like to
get around suitable images and select then the best ones to edit.
What I actually achieved
I achieved enough photos in
the studio time I allocated myself, so I didn’t need to shoot anymore or re-do
any. I also got shots from a varying range of distances and postures/poses.
Most of my work is of the same lighting/background colour as well so my repertoire
of my portfolio is almost recognizably my work, which I wanted to create. I got
the help of one of my peers to help shoot close up shots in which I gave her
direction and grafted myself.
What I am doing to do next
Next, I am to carry
on the same subject/topic of the shoot, suing the same/similar poses and set up
but use either one or two f my peers instead to broaden my portfolio of work
and create a wider range of photos to put together. As well as doing the
written contextual work. I aim to spend the next week on the subject of Body
Issues and then go onto the topic of mental health, instability and
depression.
