8th Shoot - Work Record
Preparation
For this shoot I need to make sure that I have lots of different fruits and vegetables to take photos of, in order to show variety and the different types of texture in the different fruit and vegetables. I also need to make sure that I have a good set up to take the photographs in, so that you can actually see the detail in everything. I also need to make sure that I have a good macro feature in order to get good close-up shots.
What I Hope To Achieve
I am hoping that I am going to be able to get some interesting shots that are somewhat unique, allowing the audience to get a good understanding of the textures in the different fruits and vegetables. I am going to start of the shoot, taking photographs of the outside or skin of all of the subjects. I think that it would be better to start off with this rather than getting straight into taking photos of the insides of everything. I am then hoping to get some interesting photos of the insides of the fruits and vegetables that show the detail on the inside, compared to the outside. I might try to create a contrast between the outside and the inside of everything in this shoot, to expand the variety of the images. This is the type of thing that I would like to take photographs of.
This is one of my favourite images due to the depth of field that has been created. I lowered the saturation so that the brown colour looks as though it is fading out which I think has worked really well. I also think that the detail that we can see on the image is really interesting because you can see the way that the mushroom is essentially flaking off in a way, revealing the different layers of a mushroom and how you can peel it all back. This is an aspect that I was hoping I could capture.
This was another one of my favourites due to the harsh shadows that the lettuce leaf has created with all of the different folds. I also like how the highlights are bright on the top of the image, which emphasises the shadows below it. This effect emphasises the detail on the lettuce leaf, which is what I was trying to get across from the whole shoot. This is why this image depicts the overall idea that I was aiming to achieve for this shoot.
What I Am Going To Do Next
In regards to this shoot I am going to look at the different types of edits that I can produce, maybe creating some interesting overlay images. In regards to my next shoot, I am going to take pictures of signs. These are going to be both basic signs such as road and traffic signs and also the big signs in london for shops and the lights in Piccadilly Circus. I think that this would be an interesting close-up idea to look at, due to the brightness and vibrancy of london signs.

What I Actually Achieved
I managed to get some interesting photographs of all the different types of fruit and vegetables that I collected. I particularly liked the mushrooms that I took photos of, along with the image of the lettuce as I think that they look the best compared to the rest of the images. I experimented with black and white and altering hue and saturation when editing these images, which made a lot of the photographs look a lot more professional and interesting to look at. Here are my favourite 2 images.

7th Shoot - Work Record
Preparation
For this shoot I need to make sure that I have booked the studio in order to take the photos. I also need to make sure that I get the appropriate lighting for the shoot and get Paul to help me with this. When it comes to photographing people, I am going to photograph myself on a timer and also some of my friends. I need to make sure that the lighting is harsh enough for the inspiration that I have looked at for this shoot.
What I Hope To Achieve
I am hoping that I am going to be able to get some really interesting shots of mainly faces and hands. I think that this photoshoot is going to work really well and I've especially thought a lot about how I want to lighting to be so that I get good shadows and highlights in order to show the detail in the skin. I think that I can do this really well with the facilities that I have, I am just choosing to mainly focus on the lighting. As well as the lighting, I am also going to be thinking about the angle at which the models will be positioning their faces and hands so that I can get a good amount of shadow along with some good highlights. This is the main photograph that I have used as inspiration for this shoot.
This is definitely my favourite photograph from the shoot, of my own hand. I think that the lighting is exactly how I wanted it to be in this shot, which is why I liked it so much. I love the shadow on the fingers and on the hands that emphasise the 3 dimensional effect that we know hands have. I like how you can see the texture of the skin on the hands, which is obviously something that was a main aim for the shoot. The black background also worked out exactly how I had hoped which I am really happy with as I wasn't completely sure how it would turn out.
This was another one of my favourite shots
as I think that it works really well with the lighting and the overall look of the photo with the detail and the angle of the model. I like how she is kind of looking at the light rather than directly into it or away from the light so that the light would hit a different part of the face. The effect of the lighting on this particular image adds to the overall look of it and the general close-up of the face.
What I Am Going To Do Next
I am going to edit more of the images that I got from this shoot because I think that I can do some really interesting things with it. In regards to another shoot I'm not 100% sure on what i am going to photograph yet, but I may look at fruit and vegetables and the type of texture in foods. I think that this would be interesting to photograph, capturing the texture on each of them.

This is the main photograph that I have used as inspiration for this shoot.
What I Actually Achieved
I managed to get some really interesting shots of both faces and hands and I particularly like the detail in the images as you can see the lines in the hands and all of the features on the face. Some of the images that I took turned out really well but others were extremely dark due to the positioning of the model being a little out of the harsh lighting. This made the images a lot darker than they should have been but I still think that they looked effective and the idea was to capture the texture in the skin, which I think I did effectively. These were two of my favourite shots from the shoot.
