Theme exploration 

Evaluation

What worked?

Experimenting with my theme and coming up with ideas to shoot and seeing what works and what doesn't work with my theme and also understanding the colours in my shoot and the lighting.

What didn't, how could this be improved?

With this shoot, it wasn't to bad but a couple of them were photos of photos and some of my lighting didn't quite capture some photos the way I wanted them to and I needed to take more images.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea?

I think I need to do photos of Family and taking more photos of things that  are symbols of my family.

Shoot 2 - 27/3/23 -109 images 

Artist's model inspiration 

Evaluation

What worked?

Using Anne Noble for most of the inspiration for this shoot as I based my ideas off her documentary shoot and showing symbols of her life in her photography work well for me and that's why I choose to base my photos off.Using Black and white worked for me and the use of putting photos into a format to make it relate to the artist model worked well in this shoot.

What didn't, how could this be improved?

Things that didn't work well for this shoot were that my background was all over the place with where they were I didn't have a set background and there was a lot going on in some of my backgrounds.The choice of light wasn't the best in some photos and the camera angles that I was using did capture the photos the best for some of them.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea?

I think I will try and do some more photos of my family less of photos of photos and will get better with the light that I choose and the camera angles that I am using will need to be improved over the next couple of shoots.Will do more documentary photos.

Still life Artist Model

Irving Penn:

Best Images

Evaluation

What worked?

Using Irving Penn as an artist model for this shoot as we had to.I like the still life aspects from my shoot 3 and that I finally was able to get some photos from my lake house to show more of my theme and was able to learn to do the arrangement style with still life 

What didn't, how could this be improved?

The lighting part of my shoot didn't work to well for me as some of the lighting was to dark and the flash from the camera sometimes made the shot to bright.I could use the studio at school to get a better lighting photo and also if I'm doing it at home then using more natural light then flash lights and more professional photo and a better set them just rushing things 

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea?

Getting more photos of my lake house and the things that I do at the Lake house.I could also shoot more of things that are  symbols of my family then just taking a photo.More Landscape images and more images about my theme.

What worked?

Using Jerry Takigawa as my artist model for this shot as we needed to.I  like the still-life aspect of this shoot and the overlap of the images looks good in this shoot. I was able to achieve basing my shoot off his work.Using the background images that I use it was able to show my theme of family well 

What didn't, how could this be improved?

Some of my lighting wasn't the best and the angle that I was able to shoot from to shw off my image wasn't that best in some of the photos.Some of my objects that I put overtop of my background didn't quiet look the best with the image.

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea?

I will work on the light of my images and still use the natural lighting but making sure it is good natural lighting and also getting my angel better not doing the same angel the whole time and making sure if I change the angel to make sure I can capture the images well still.
