Work Diary- 10th Shoot

During this lesson I did a studio shoot for my personal project. I took a number of photographs of the models features including eyes, hands, lips & ears. I used a black background to make the features appear to be floating in mid air. I used natural lighting to light the model not the background. If I was to do this shoot again I would take more variety of pictures, meaning I would take more pictures of different parts of the human body. 

In this image I combined 4 of the same images but all rotated in different ways. I then placed them all together so it looks like the hands are joined together. I used a black background with natural lighting. I like this image as it makes the viewer question how its done and it looks different to the other images I've edited. If I was to take this image again I would have the model position her hand in all different ways to experiment with what it looks like. 

Also in this lesson I made an animation of the models eye opening and closing. Ever time the models eye opens it changes colour. The composition of the animation only includes half of the models face this is due to the fact that I wanted the eye movement to be obvious and the main focus of the image. Again I used a black background and natural lighting. If I was to make this animation again I would have the camera on a tripod as the two images of the models eye open and then shut move slightly. 

I don't feel that this shoot went as well as it could have as it was planned late due to the fact that I was going to do another shoot but didn't have the equipment I needed. Also the majority of the photographs I have taken in previous shoots have involved vibrant colour whereas this shoot it very plain and simple, therefore I feel that it isn't one of my best shoots. 

my influence behind this shoot came from my first shoot of the Lips as I liked to photograph human features as it shows clear detail as the image is close up. 

As a result of this shoot I have realised that I prefer to photograph objects rather than people as it it easier to position the objects in the way that you want to & you can experiment more with different angles. Therefore in my next shoot I am going to photograph an object rather than a person. As I need to include another technique within my persona project I am going to photograph christmas lights but out of focus so I can incorporate the blurring technique within my project.
