Josef Koudelka
I used this artist model as he explores the different texture and explores the details of things. So I focused on the details and texture of differnet things around the farm.

Evaluation Of Shoot 2
What worked?
I think using my artist model Josef Koudelka helped me to have an idea of what I will shoot. As my fist shoot I was jsut shooting whatever looked good. Where as this shoot I was properly thinking and having thought about what I will shoot. So I used shoot 2 to explore more of the close up and details of things on the farm. I think Shoot 2 went well but It was a very rushed shoot so I think that It could be improved if I had of have more time.
What Didn't, how could this be improved?
I think that there was definitely a lot more that I could have explored to make it a way stronger shoot. And I will work on this for next time.
What are you going to do next time to extend your idea?
I am going to look at a whole variety of things on the farm and really explore and find some really cool old stuff to shoot.
This shoot was using the artist model Irving Penn, from what I could see from his images was arrangment was a key part of his way of shooting still life. So I collected items that were significant to my theme to arrange then photograph. I had a brainstorm of different ideas I could do for this shoot as seen down below.
These are the images that gave me inspiration from the artist model Irving Penn.

Evaluation:
I think that having to follow this still life artist model was helpful as I had an idea of what to do. I also had made a brainstorm which helped me to be able to know what items I wanted to shoot with. This shoot was taken later in the afternoon when the sun was going down which was a diferent sort of lighting which I had to play around with. I think for next time I could explore more and find and use different objects.
Shoot 4
Ideas and planning:
Artist model Jerry Takigawa, I used the same ideas as my artist model by how Jerry used bottle tops on top of an image I used cow tags as that relates to my theme. I also used his ideas of strategically placing items on the background photo.

My evaluation of Shoot 4
I think that following this artist model definetly gave me inspiration of what I could potentially shoot. I had a quick brainstorm of objects and ideas to gather to use for this shoot which was inspired by Jerry Takigawa. I had to do this shoot inside and it was a dark and rainy day so the lighting was a very weird lighting and I had to play around to make the camera settings work with the lighting. I found that when I was trying to shoot directly above it was hard to be able to steady with the hand. I did have a tripod which I used which was helpful so that I could be still. For next time I think that getting time to do the shoot in prime lighting would be better.
