Shoot (1) Work Record
Plans for the shoot
For this shoot I had planned to more specifically
focus on one 'issue' rather than doing a general shoot on issues as I had a few
ideas initially that I wanted to explore whilst I still had inspiration. I
planned to focus this shoot on alcoholism as I felt that this was an issue that
could create effective photographs as when creating my image bank I was
inspired by some of the photos that I saw. I broadly took some ideas from the
image bank and created ideas out of these. For example I wanted to show the dangers
of alcohol, and the effects it has on individuals. Also, I wanted some close up
shots of the alcohol glasses itself as I felt that some of these shots with the
correct lighting could be simple yet effective and portray the danger of
alcohol which is what I wanted.
What I hope to achieve
I hope to achieve a range of different shots that
would allow me to edit the photos the way I wanted, and give a selection of
photos that I can work from in order to achieve the idea of alcoholism as an
issue in society. I hope that this first shoot that I do is one of the most
successful as hopefully it will give me a good taste of what to expect from
shoots in the future.
What I actually achieved
I am happy with the outcome of this shoot as I have
achieved what I wanted to from this shoot that I had planned to do. I managed
to shoot a large range of different shots as I had a lot of photos to work from
which included a range of different ideas. Most of the shots that I did
revolved around the alcohol bottles and the effects that alcohol has on an
individual.
What I am going to do next
Next, I plan to broaden my ideas of 'issues' into a
range of different issues which is why I either plan to do a location shoot
(incorporating environmental issues) or studio work in which I will focus on
body issues. I will continue to complete my image bank where I will gather
ideas and decide which idea to shoot next.
This was my favourite from this shoot, this is because of the selective colour effect that I have added to this photo. Also, the idea behind the photo I like as it shows the significance of how alcohol can effect an individual. Also, the fact that the model in this photo is taking on the role of an alcoholic and I have made her look as if she is suffering from the alcohol and cannot escape the problem. I think this photo is effective in showing what I wanted to, however the composition is not exactly what I wanted.
I like the concept behind this photo, as I attempted to show the idea of not being able to escape and being trapped in the world of an alcoholic. It also shows the topic of lonliness, and I thought it would be quite unique to incorporate this into a photo of a bottle that I had also taken from this shoot and use photoshop to place a studio shot into this. I like the angle and composition of this photo as it makes the photo more complex rather than if it was taken straight on, however the can to the right of the photo may be something i need to photoshop out at a later date as it almost ruins the photo.
