Evaluation:
Reshoot with tea cups (Picnic, flowers in teacups, keep same colours and lighting)
Try different lighting (eg. in studio) with harsher shadows, could bring in the hand illusion used in the artist model with the card houses
Reshoot with model to broaden the idea ( keep the water idea and colours but use tea cups and shoot outside with model and bring in the white/red roses )
Could do a studio shoot with still life of teacups
Shoot 6.
Ideas:
The warm lighting and blur effect Uta Barth uses
Close ups of the book using macro lens
Shiny/reflective look
Bringing in other subject matter, as well as book, chess pieces?
Blurred movement of the chess pieces
Reshooting with inspiration from Abelardo Morell again to use more of his key features I didn't use as much last time - shiny lighting, book close ups...ect

Evaluation:
I like how the lighting is different from most of my other shoots and has a warm look like Uta Barth uses - could incorporate this into future shoots
The deliberate blur also has a good effect and the blurred movement on the chess pieces worked really well - I could use movement more when I do another shoot with my model
I need to do another shoot with my model ( to bring in the idea of the picnic outside and then playing chess...ect) so that this still life makes more sense. Aka I need to broaden the idea back out before I closely explore the subject matter.
Shoot 7.
Ideas:
Model playing chess
Cut outs of model
Movement of chess pieces
'Hidden' photos of model (eg. hiding her face)

I like the idea of bringing back the flowers and water however the teacups may be too much and need editing out as I already have many new ideas
The blue lighting worked well in some and is a good link, some were overexposed though
I would like to do more shoots with water and the flowers and do more distortion again with the water possibly instead of continuing using the teacups for now.
I would like to do another shoot with my model using the flowers and water
I like the idea of looking through the glass so I will use that in my next shoot
Shoot 9.
Ideas:
Bring in more water - put print outs of model/photos in water
Objects in water - regeneration of the blue sky to blue water
Flower petals floating in water
Photos looking through the glass/water

Bringing in more water and the use of the glass circle worked well - In my next shoot I will keep using these with my model
The aspect of natural light also works well contrasting to the studio lights - I would like to do another shoot with my model with natural light outside
Another shoot with my model with the use of water/glass/flowers would be good to link everything together.
Shoot 10.
Ideas:
Model holding up flowers/leaves/printed photos to hide face
Model looking through glass/water
Water droplets over face
Blue and golden colouring
Flower petals covering over face

Keeping the circle glass shape worked really well and continuing to use flowers
Using photoshop to overlay images and then lower the opacity also was a good new idea to bring in
I could do more with water and do bring in something new
Shoot 11.
Ideas:
Put objects in water (chess pieces, white flowers alive and dead, dissolving paper)
Patterns and colors
More abstract/distorted photos
Colors running down the side of the cup

Bringing in paint worked well
Could've used other paint colours, such as blue, to link in with the colour scheme of other shoots and to contrast with colours in nature
In future shoots, I could paint on the book paper
