Shoot 2 

Idea

To photograph in the style of Torben Eskerod I will use my model and experiment with different poses and different ways of destroying the image afterwards. Will use bleach to strip the ink off the image. I am going to shoot in the same location as my previous shoot at the old shed and cowshed.

Experiments

Evaluation

What worked? The bleaching of the images worked really well. The location had lots of good resources. The model was easy to work with and was really good. 

What didn't, how could this be improved? My black and white setting on my camera was quite grey so had to recolour all the images I wanted to use. 

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? Next time I would do more purposeful in bleaching and wrecking of the image and put thought, as I was just experimenting.

Shoot 3

Idea

To photograph in the style of Irving Penn I am going to make purposeful placements with still-life objects that reflect my theme. I will shoot outside on a concrete ledge and will photograph inside an old cowshed on the concrete.

Evaluation

What worked? The objects I used worked really well in a composition. The use of artificial lighting added an extra dimension to the photos. The location worked nicely.  

What didn't, how could this be improved? Some of the photos are overexposed, this could be improved by shooting at a different time or playing around with the camera. 

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? Next time I would further play around with the lighting. I also want to play around with the table and do more compositions with it. As well adding more glass and the use of mirrors.

Evaluation

What worked? The photos on the windowsill worked very well, it allowed the objects to sit better. 

What didn't, how could this be improved? When I photographed it was quite dark, making it hard for the photos to turn out nicely or without glare, this could be improved by shooting earlier in the day or using a different light. The objects 

What are you going to do next time to extend your idea? Next time I would experiment with different photos as the background, and experiment with different areas I photograph in.
