Work Diary- 11th Shoot

During this lesson I did a studio shoot for my personal project. I needed to use another one of the techniques that we had learnt at the beginning of the project, therefore I photographed multi coloured lights using the blurring technique. I took the images in the dark, using no studio lighting only the lights that I was photographing and then I used a black background. If I was to do this shoot again I would use more lights so the image is more colourful as some of the image include too much black background. 


 


In this image I used the technique blurring to photograph a set of colourful lights. When taking the image I turned down the focus to blur the image and create the blurred lights. I used a black background to make the vibrant colours stand out against the background. If I was to take this image again I would take the image closer up to avoid having so much black background included in the image. 

I also made an animation of a number of different images I took of the lights. The animation makes it look like the lights are moving due to the different pictures being taken from different angles and having different compositions. If I was to make an animation again for this shoot I would experiment with the blurring technique within photoshop, meaning I would take a focused picture and then slowly take it out of focus in photoshop and make an animation. 

My influence behind this image came from a photograph that I found from the internet as I was looking at the technique blurring due to the fact that I needed to add another technique into my personal project. 

As a result of this shoot I have found that I like the blurring technique and would like to incorporate it it future projects. Again the same as majority of my shoots I like the use of vibrant colours against a plain background as its eye catching. For my next shoot I want to again experiment with the use of vibrant colours in a different way, therefore for my next shoot I am going to photograph the diffusion of food colouring in water as I was influenced by Corrie White's photography.
