Shoot No.12 Work Diary

In this shoot I decided that I wanted to photograph the movement of different material being waved in the air.

In my first photograph I have used a black background and two different material which have been waved in the air across the composition. The brightness of the material are able to create a contrast against the black background. The ripples in the material show the movement of the material and the direction in which it is going to move next. When editing this photograph I sharpened it to make the outline of the material more defined against the black background.


In my second photograph you can again se that I have used a black background and two different material which have been waved across the composition. In this specific photograph I have edited it so that the material are in colour and the rest of the photograph is in black and white. This photograph appears more subtle compared to the other which suggest the softness and elegance of the materials.

If I was to continue with this shoot I would like to photograph different materials such as clothing whilst someone moves. I would also like to see whether the photographs work as well with a white background.



Overall Project Evaluation

In this project I chose the theme of freezing motion. This is due to me feeling that I would enjoy photographing high speed photographs and also due to the diversity of the theme. I started of my project by making a mind map of all the possible shoot for freezing motion, this then enabled me to refer back to it for help when planning a shoot. Following this I researched into freezing motion by making a image bank containing 30 images which all related to freezing motion. This allowed me to see a different aspect to freezing motion and influence many of my shoot ideas. Here are some of the things in which I photographed to show freezing motion: Sport, Glow sticks, Party poppers, Bubbles, Balloons, Hair and Water.

I then went on to research in to 20 photograph who focused on freezing motion or high speed photography. This helped me in a way in which I was able to see different photographers ways of showing freezing motion.  I was influenced by many of these photographs as I  wanted to experiment in photographing freezing motion like they had. From my 20 photographer, I chose my 5 favourite to research further into.
I evaluated 4 of their photographs and included and influence and summary section. This showed what I had learnt from the photograph and how my work has been influenced by them. I feel that this helped me with the project as I was able to develop my understanding of different ways to show freezing motion. Lastly I did 5 connecting essay which allowed me to link my photographs with another photograph, by doing  this I was able to identify the different themes, lighting , colours, angles and compositions of my photographs and how they connected to one another.

After each shoot I would make a work dairy which showed two of my photographs from that shoot, whether they be the best two or one of my least successful. I would then evaluated both photograph stating the positive and negatives and how I captured and edited the photograph. My work diary also contained a 'if I was to continue' section which allowed me to reflect on the shoot and take this on board in my next shoot.

As a part of this project I had to complete the following print techniques: Black and white, curves, duo tone, repetition, selective colour, photo joiner, soft focus, cluster and weaving. All of these print techniques allowed me to explore different ways of editing my photographs but also choosing the correct photo to do the print technique to. This was because I realised that not all the print techniques look good on all photographs. This then made me think about which photographs I should use to fore feel the print technique to best it can be. I also had to complete 10 computer experiments and 8 physical experiments. This allowed me explore my photographs in a way in which it is presented and how it is portraying freezing motion.

For many of my shoot I used the studio, although I had previously used the studio for unit 1, I had to develop my understanding of the studio equipment as certain set ups where needed to photograph freezing motion. For example when shooting water, I had to stop any light hitting the water butt still light up the background. I now feel much more confident with the studio equipment therefore I will be able to carry this on into next year.
Overall this project has allowed me to develop my skills in the studio and also find specific type of photography that I like to photograph. Also when completing my computer experiments I was able to develop my understanding and skills of Photoshop. All of the skills and confidence with the studio that i have gain, i will able to use this is my upcoming year in my Unit 3 and Unit 4.

 

Shoot No.11 Work Diary

In this shoot I wanted to capture the motion of someone running to show  their facial expressions whilst running as well as their body movement. While doing this shoot I wanted to ensure that all of the subject was focused and that none of there body became blurred as this was not the effect that I wanted.

In my first photograph i wanted to capture a medium close up shot of the model running towards the camera to capture his facial expression and movements in the middle of the motion. When editing this photograph i was able to make the corners darker which gave an overall focus to the photograph which is the model. i feel that this photograph was success as none of the model is blurred which is one of the risk when capturing high speed photography.

In my second photograph i wanted to capture a long shot of the model running towards the camera. In this photograph you are able to see the facial expression of the model as well the full body movement of the models as he is running. The model is placed left of the centre which indicates the direction in which he is going to carry on running. Overall i feel that this photograph was success as again none of the model has become blurred which is a problem i was worried about.








If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to capture more than one person running at a time to show the comparison in movement and facial expression. Also i would like to photograph other sports such as swimming or cycling.

Photographer No.5 - Marc Laroche

I have picked Marc Laroche as one of my chosen photograph as i like the way in which he is able to photograph hair in a way which is unique and different to everyday hair styles. Although these photograph may have been taken while the model was moving her hair, due to the precision this is not so apparent therefore it almost looks natural.

 In Marc Laroche's first photograph you can see the model in the centre of the composition however there is a large space at the top. The model looks to have jumped and the movement of her hair has been captured. Her hair has created a shape around her face which compliments her facial features such as her cheek bones. By her having a middle parting in her hair, this allows  some soft of precisiton to the photograph rather than it being a messy hair photograph. As you can see the photograph is in black and white which gives a natural feel to the photograph and makes it look more like fashion photograph opposed to any other type of photography






In Marc Laroche's second photograph you can see a model in the centre of the composition and her hair has been blown forward to create a vertical line. Due to the precision of the photograph it makes it look like her hair is naturally like this and that it has not be posed at all. Also her body is straight and it doesn't appear to have been moved therefore this again add to the fact that it look imposed and natural. Again the black and white effect on the photograph gives the photograph a fashion photography look.

In Marc Laroche third photograph you can see that the models hair is spread out across the top half of the composition. Her hair is able to create a   mohawk shape which looks natural rather than posed.  The hair appears to become lighter as it gets nearer to the model face. This allows us to see her face as her hair isn't creating any harsh shadows on her face. Her hair looks so dark at the back that it almost blends in with the back background which could be seen as a negative within this photograph.

In Marc Laroche forth photograph you can see the models hair being blown to one corner of the composition. This photograph can be described as more messy looking compared to his other photographs which are defined and posed. This is further shown through her having curly hair which looks more messy than straight hair.Her face and her hair follow the same direction to show the movement of the model herself as well as the movement of her hair.








Influence
I was influenced by Marc Laroche photographs as I wanted to try and photograph someone flicking their hair and to capture it when it in the air so that it look unique and almost strange. I was also influenced by this photograph as he made me want to look at making some of my photographs black and white as i like the way in which model is the main focus rather than the colour.

Summary
Overall I like Marc Laroche as he is able to make photograph which you would assume would look messy to look defined and posed. Also I like the way that Marc Laroche makes all of his photographs black and white to give them a fashion look.

Photographer No.4 - Von Wong

I have chosen this photographer as  i like the way he captures different motions and merges them together to show the gradual movement of the model. I see this as a alternative way of showing freezing motion compared other freezing motion artists. I also like the way in which the main motions are in focus and the movement in between are blurred but still visible enough to see how the model progressed from one move to another.

 In Von Wong's first photograph we can see the gradual movements of a couple dancing. There are two position which are in focus and standout form the rest of the photograph however in between these, there are blurred figures which represent the progression from one movement to the other. The fact that they have been captured in the middle of dancing, this is able to represent freezing motion in an alternative way.

 In Von Wongs's second photograph we can see a man who appears to be floating in the air. The colours of nature can be seen throughout the photograph which makes the levitating seen real and natural. He body looks to be laying down which makes the photograph have a sense of relaxation. The branch, which can be seen above the model, looks to shape around the models body as if he is part of nature.













In Von Wong's third photograph you can see male and female model. Taking up the majority of the composition  is their bodies however around there blurred section which are able to represent the models body movement and gives more depth to the photograph. Natural tones have been used which link to the fact that they are wearing not clothes which gives a sense of purity to the photograph.

In Von Wong's forth photograph you can see to female models who have been captured in the middle of them dancing. Nude tones have been used against a black background which gives the photograph a sense of purity. The mist which can be seen in the photograph shapes around the models body and compliments the movement in which they are making.




Influence
I was influenced by Von Wong's work as it made look at alternative ways of showing freezing motion for example merging different motion together to show the progression of the full movement. I also influenced in a way in which I would like to experiment with colours which match the subject of the photograph and will be able to portray a specific emotion
Summary
Overall i like Von Wong's work as he is showing various motion to look effortless and not necessarily frozen in time.

Shoot No.10 Work Diary

In this shoot i was photographing smoke whilst experimenting with the different shapes that could be creates with the smoke.I used a black background so that the white smoke could standout and look dense.

In my first photograph i wanted to capture a close up of the smoke being releases form the models lips. the smoke created a shape which became denser as it left her mouth. When editing this photograph i changed the level and curves so that the smoke appeared more white and the model lips looked almost red. I like this photograph as i like the way that the smoke fill the majority of the composition however you are still able to see a small section of the models face which shows where the smoke it coming from.

In my second photograph i wanted to capture more of the model by including her whole face as well as the smoke. Rather than just blowing out the smoke, the model created rings to give a different twist to the photograph. The black background along with some editing in Photoshop helped to define the individual ring and make them appear more dense than they actual are. Also in Photoshop i made the model appear paler as i felt that it would look good against the black ground and help with the overall contrast.

If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to experiment with creating different shapes with the smoke and also editing them in a way in which they look like sculptures made of of smoke opposed to just clouds of smoke.

Connecting Essays

Connecting Essay 1

This photograph was taken by Jerry Matchett. In this photograph we can see a circular motion made by different coloured glow sticks. It is against a black background which helps the glow sticks stand out and create a sharp outline. This photograph has a sense of fun and excitement to it due to the bright, sharp colours and also that it would be something a child would want to play with. The positive point to this photograph is the contrast created between the background and the glow stick. Also the colours work well together to create balance within the composition.

This photograph was taking by myself. A range of colours can be seen spread across the top corner of the composition. A soft shape has been created which appears to fade as it spreads out more across the composition. A black background has been used to contrast the bright coloured glow sticks. All of the colours are of a same tone which helps add to the softness of the shape which has been created. The lines made by the glow stick appear to subtle apposed to obvious which hides the fact that it is glow sticks.

These two photograph can be seen to connect to one another as they both use glow sticks to create a colourful shape within the composition. Also they have both used colours of the same tone to create balance within the photograph and softness. Lastly both photographs use a black background to contrast the brightly coloured glow sticks.

Connecting Essay 2

This photograph was taken by Bjoern Ewers. In this photograph we can see a large bubble in the centre of the composition. The bubble appears to be of a different shape to a ordinary bubble which makes it look abstract and unreal. Due to the light hitting the bubble, different colours can be seen within it which make it seem more vibrant compared to any other bubble. I feel that this photograph looks space like which relates it its name which is 'orbital'.

This photograph was taken by myself.In this photograph we can see two bubbles which have been captures against a black background. The light is hitting the bubbles which allows us to see a range of colours making the bubble more vibrant opposed to dull which is what they would look like to the human eye. The colours help to make the bubbles look 3D within a 2D photograph. A negative towards this photograph is that i would have wanted the background to be darker.


These two photograph can be seen to connect to one another due to them simply both being of bubbles. Also in both photographs the bubbles are being lit up which allows us to see a range of colours which make them appear more vibrant than a ordinary bubble. Lastly in both the bubbles look 3D although it is a 2D photograph.

Connecting Essay 3
This photograph was taken by myself. In this photograph you can see a apple being dropped into water. It has been captured as it hits the water allowing us to see the splashes that it has made. The black background benefits in making the water and the apple standout and look sharp. A distinguished outline of the apple and the water can be seen which makes the photograph look sophisticated and professional. A negative to this photograph is that drops of water can be seen in the composition, these would have been on to glass in front of the camera.

This photograph was taken by Leon Dafonte Fernandez. In this photograph you can see splashes of coloured water bouncing off a flat surface. The splashes almost create a sculpture of some sort which carries weightlessness and elegance. The vibrant blues contrast against the white background to make the splashes stand out and appear sharp and defined. The splashes in this photograph appear to be posed and that is it still opposed to it being captured in the middle of the motion. The smaller amounts of water appear to orbit around the larger place which indicates a gravitational pull.

These two photographs can be seen to connect to one another due to them simply both capturing a splash in the middle of its motion. In both the splashes appear to be posed within the composition to create a sculpture and elegant look. Also both photograph used the background to its advantage by contrasting the splashes against it to make them standout and appear sharp and defined.

Connecting Essay 4

This photograph was taken by myself.In this photograph you can see the model hair standing up due to her flicking it vertically.Natural colour can be seen throughout the photograph therefore it makes it seem un-posed and natural. Also due to all of the models hair being sharp and in focus, it almost looks as if the models hair has been frozen during a motion and that it naturally stand up like this. The models hair has shaped around her face and also the different tones of her hair can be seen which adds to the softness and weightlessness of the photograph. The corners have been made darker which shapes around the hair and gives a central focus to the photograph.

This photograph was taken by Marc Laroche. In this photograph you can see the models hair to be spread out over the back of her head. The full length of her hair has been lifted to created height within the photograph. The fact that we are unable to see the model face, this keeps the photograph having a neutral feeling and that it is focus more in the hair rather than the model herself. Black and white has been used in the photograph which links the fact that no emotion is being shown. The corners of the photograph are darker which shapes around the hair and gives the photograph a central focus.





These two photograph can be seen to connect to one another due to them both being of hair being in a unnatural position however it appears to be natural for the models. Also in both photograph the corners have been made darker to shaped around the models hair and to also give the photograph a central focus. Lastly natural tones have been used in both photographs which adds the weightlessness and softness of the photograph.

Connecting Essay 5

This photograph was taken by Harold Edgerton. In this photograph you can see a bullet being shot into a apple on a stand. The blue background contrast the redness of the apple and the white sections which have been created where the bullet has entered and left the apple. This would have been at a high speed therefore a fast shutter speed would have been used. This then enables us to see the full impact on the apple from the moment the bullet hits the apple to the moment the bullet leaves the apple.



This photograph has been taken by myself. In this photograph you can see a party popper which has been pulled to expose the streamers. A black background has been used to create a contrast against the brightly coloured streamers. By including the hand in the composition it makes it obvious that it a party popper opposed to streamers being thrown. This motion happens very quickly therefore a fast shutter speed would have been need to capture the streamers leaving the party popper.

These two photographs can be seen to connect with one another as they both capture a extremely fast motion. These both would have required a fast shutter speed to ensure the photograph was successful. Also in both the subject spreads across the composition opposed to just being in one place.

Photographer No.3 - Adam Pretty

I have decided to have Adam Pretty as one of my chosen photographers due to the diversity of his photographs for example he photographs for advertising purposes, massive sporting events and  also portraits. I also like the way Adam Pretty edits some photographs to contain several motions in one frame.
                                                         

In Adam Pretty's first photograph you can see that two images have been placed within the composition. The white background helps to create a sharp outline around the body of the diver.By making the model to be in black and white it helps with the contrast with the white background.The shapes made by the model body fit together like a puzzle which creates balance within the photograph.

In Adam Pretty's second photograph we can see that this has been taken for an advertising purpose which is to promote Adidas. This is obvious due to the Adidas logo being placed onto the photograph. The model can be seen to be playing tennis and had been capture as he is just about to hit the tennis ball. The model facial expression shows determination and skill in what he is about to do. The foreground it where you would expect to play tennis which helps with the promotional side of the photograph. By adding text this gives meaning to the photograph and is a persuasive element.

 Adam Pretty's third photograph is a portrait of a chinese athlete. Dull greens and black can be seen throughout the photograph. This contrast the redness of his costume which standout from the the rest of the photograph. The wall looks to be damaged which is not what you would expect the conditions would be like for a professional athlete. This may be showing a different side to the life a athlete compared to what would be expected. The models hold a neutral expression which means that the audience is unable to get a sense of his emotions and feelings at this point in time.

In Adam Pretty's forth photograph you can see a person swimming. Their body is stretched out across the composition. Deep blues have been used which imply that she is deep under the sea. The colours also add a sense of mystery to the photograph as we do not know where she is going.





Influence
I was influence by Adam Pretty's work as i wanted to try and photograph sport in terms of freezing motion. I would also like to consider how they could be used for a advertising purpose as this is a major way of getting into the photography business

Summary
I like Adam Pretty's photograph because he shows thing which we wouldn't expect in terms of sport and professional athletes.

Shoot No.9 Work Diary

For this shoot i went to Convert Garden and Trafalgar Square to photograph the real life statues. These represent freezing motion as they are staying in one position which is in the middle of a motion.

In my first photograph i wanted the subject to stand out from the busy looking background.I did this by adding a blur to the background and keeping the subject in focus. By changing the level and curves i was able to make his costume a brighter gold than it already was. I decided to blur the box as i felt it added to mystery of how the man is sitting down without a chair.

In my second photograph, i again blurred the background to ensure that the real life statue was the main focus of the photograph. I also reduced the brightness of the foreground to then contrast the bright silver costume on the real life statue.

If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to try and avoid getting people in the background as it takes the focus away from the real life statue.

Photographer No.2- Mike Campau

 I have picked Mike Campau as one of my chosen photographers because of the way he edits his photographs to add patterns which shape around the models body. I also liked the way in which all of his photographer contain the same tome of colour even including the costume and the back drop.

The composition of Mike Campau first photograph is the model placed in the centre who had jumped in the air and has been captured in the middle of the motion. Large ribbon looking shapes have been edited on to the photograph which shape around the models body. This gives the photograph a sense of weightlessness and elegance. Lastly a purple tone is kept throughout the photograph which gives a warming to the photograph.


The composition of Mike Campau second photograph is again that the model is placed in the centre who has jumped in the air and has created a sharp shape with her arms and legs.Again the same editing technique is used in this photograph as the first. A range of greens have been used throughout the photograph which gives it a feel of nature.








The composition of Mike Campau third photograph is that a women looks to have jumped elegantly into the air which is creating a sophisticated motion which has been frozen in its essence. The same editing technique is used in this photograph as the others however this one appear to be much looser therefore adding to the sense of weightlessness within this photograph. 






The composition of Mike Campau forth photograph is a women jumping in the air and a spiral shape has been shaped around her body during this motion. The spiral almost looks like a spring and could represent her jumping off the group like a spring would. A blue and green tone can be seen throughout the photograph such as with the costume, background and the editing.





Influence
I have been influenced by Mike Campau as i would now like to consider not only photographing object and that it would be fun and interesting to photograph the freezing motion of humans.I also would like to experiment with different  colour tones to see which benefits the photograph the most.

Summary
Overall i like Mike Campau photographs as i feel that the colour tones used in each photograph help portray the elegance or sharpness of the motion as well as the editing technique which shapes around the models body.

Shoot No.8 Work Diary

This was a practice shoot for my exam. I dropped a apple into a fish tank full of water and captures it as it hit the water. I used a black background as it created a good contrast between the still water and the water that has been hit by the apple.

In my first photograph, i captured the apple as it just hit the water. This meant that more splashed water could be seen in the top part of the composition.The black background helped the water to standout more as it created more of a contrast opposed to a white background. By sharpening the photograph, it also helped to define the waters outline and make it stand out more than it did before

In my second photograph, i captured the apple as it went under the water, The water appears to shape around the apple to which creates a wave looking shape. Again the black background helps a lot to make sure the water standout. By sharpening the photograph, it also helped to define the waters outline and make it stand out more than it did before.





 If i was to continue with the shoot i would like to experiment with different fruits and vegetables to see which ones standout the most against the black background and the water. I would also like to try more than one object at a time to see if it make the photograph more colorful and interesting.

Shoot No.7 Work Diary

In this shoot i wanted to capture water being poured in to a glass. I had to stop the light from hitting the glass and the water otherwise the water would not have been clear.

This is my first photograph which i feel was one of my most successful from this shoot. This is due to it capturing the bubbles as the pouring water entered the glass. When editing this photograph i changed the sharpness to make it appear more define and also added a blue tone which links to the fact that it is water. I would have liked to added bubbles to the water to make it more dramatic and interesting as a photograph.





This is my second photograph which i feel was one of my least successful photographs from this shoot. This is due to the water not really showing any impact from the water which is being poured in. However i still sharpened the photograph, along with levels and curves to see whether i could make the small impacts more dramatic however this was unsuccessful.







If i was to continue with this shoot i would add some bubble to the glass of water to make it appear like there was more of a dramatic impact from the water which was being poured in. I would also like to experiment with changing the background colour so that the water appears the same colour.

Shoot No.6 Work Diary

In this lesson i did a shoot of someone flicking their hair side to side and up and down. I wanted to capture the hair in the middle of the motion. I used a brown background to match the tones of the models hair.

This first photograph, i feel was my most successful from this shoot as i like the way that the model was in the centre of the composition and the way in which her hair shaped around her face as it flicks into the air. I made the corners of this photograph a darker shade as i wanted the focus to be on the model therefore this creates a  faint oval around her. Natural colour can be seen throughout the photograph therefore it makes it seem un-posed and natural. Also due to all of the models hair being sharp and in focus, it almost looks as if the models hair has been frozen during a motion and that it naturally stand up like this.

This is my second photograph. In this photograph i wanted to capture the model flicking her hair from side to side apposed to up and down. In many photographs the models face could not be seen however this was one of my favorite. I liked the way in which the models hair has been captured on both sides of the composition therefore giving it a even balance.I again added the darkened edges to illuminate the model and make her the main focus of the photograph. It also shaped around the models hair creating a outline.


If i was to continue with the shoot i would like to experiment with other colour hairs to see which background complemented them the most. I would also like to try and capture the motion in the different stages to then edit into a grid.

Shoot No.5 Work Diary

In todays lesson i did a shoot using party poppers. I used a black background so that the streamers could standout in the photograph. I wanted to capture the party popper just as it was release however i found this very hard. Once i had found the correct shutter speed i was able to capture some photographs which i was pleased with.

 In my first photograph i liked the way in which all of the different coloured streamers are spread out across the composition.I liked the fact that the hand can be seen in the corner of the composition.   I changed the levels, curves and contrast so that the different coloured streamers standout and look more vibrant.




In my second photograph i again liked the way in which the streamers spread across the composition. I also likes the fact the different colours seem to merge together as they spread out. I wanted to get the hand in the photograph as i wanted to make it obvious that it was a party popper rather than streamers just being thrown in the air.



If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to capture the facial expression of the person pulling the party popper as i feel it will add to photograph and show another freezing motion as well as the party popppers.

I

Shoot No.4 Work Diary

In this lesson i did a shoot with balloon. With the help of a friend the balloon were threw into the air and i would capture them as the was falling. I was aiming to get as many balloon in the composition as i could to ensure that the photographs did not look plain. I used a red background to avoid seeing the shadow of the balloon on the back drop.

In my first photograph i like the way in which the balloon were spread over the composition compared to some of my other photographs which has balloon all in one corner of the composition. I also like the combination of colours as i felt that they all contrasted each other making each balloon standout from one another.







In my second photograph i like the fact that some of the edges of the balloon were cut out of the composition as i felt that it established that they are moving therefore they will all be at different stages when the photograph is being taken. Also the fact that no shadow can be seen made this photograph one of my best as various of my other photograph has shadows from the balloon it.





If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to try and capture more balloon in the composition and try a different colour background to see if it changes the mood of the photograph such as black.

Shoot No.3 Work Diary

For this shoot i wanted to freeze the motion of someone doing football skills. I reduced the shutter speed to try and capture the ball in mid air or the model. It took a while to get the correct shutter speed as i did not want the ball or the model to be blurred in the photograph.

In my first photograph i was trying to capture the model doing kick-up. At first this was hard as the ball kept coming out blurred in the photograph however i found this was the best one. I like the composition of this photograph as i felt that if too much of the model was to be shown in this specific photograph, the attention would have been taken away from the motion which i was trying to capture.

In my second photograph i was able to capture the model in mid air well doing a football skill. Also the models legs look slightly blurred, this can be implied that they was moving fast. In this specific photograph i did not want to place the model in the center of the composition to show that the ball is going to go towards the empty space within the composition.







If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to do it in the studio to see if i could better outcome due to me setting up my own lighting. I would also like to try and take photograph during a football match so that they look more realistic.

Shoot No.2 Work Diary

In this lesson i did a shoot with bubbles to capture them when they was floating in the air. To create the black background, i lit up the subject(the bubbles) and stopped any like hitting the back drop.

In my first picture i like the composition of the bubbles as they are at the top of the frame which makes them look as if they are floating. I also like the way the light hit the bubbles to show the colours of the bubbles which add to the 3D element of this photograph.Lastly i achieved the black background which i wanted.

In my second photograph i like the close up of the bubbles as i felt that it allowed you to see the bubbles colours in detail and again it makes it look 3D. I like the way that that both of the bubbles are in line with each other and you can almost image a line of bubble after this getting smaller and smaller. Lastly i achieved the black background which i wanted.





If i was to continue with this shoot i would get a bubble machine so that i would have more bubbles with in the composition rather than having more background.

Shoot No.1 Work Diary

In this lesson i did a shoot using glow stick. I changed the shutter speed so that i could achieve the photographs that i wanted to.

In my first photograph i loved the colours that could be seen and also i like the composition of where the glow sticks were. The fact that all the colours looked like they merged together, allowed a single shape to be formed rather than individual glow sticks. I also like the way that the colour seems to fade as they get to the center of the photograph.

In my second photograph i want to create a rainbow of colours with the glow sticks and i feel that this photograph did it successfully. I liked the way the colours seem to fan out from the corner of the composition and also the colour get darker. The fact that i can see parts of the glow stick, this help separate the colours to create the rainbow that i wanted.






If i was to continue with this shoot i would like to move the glow sticks in different directions and also put the glow sticks on a model to them see the glow sticks move as the model does.
