Work Record - Shoot 10

Plans for the shoot

For this shoot i have again decided to base it around horses, in my last shoot i got some good images of the horses in detail, specifically i was focusing on different parts of the horse, for example the nose and the eyes. However this time round i would like to focus on other parts, for example i want to photograph the whole horse but a certain section, this is because i want to show close-up but i still want to show the whole horse. Also i would like to shoot objects associated with horse riding, for example the clothing and parts of the horses tack.

What i hope to achieve

I hope to achieve a range of photos which show close-up well but also i want to show the whole horse. i think this is important as i want to show my viewers what i am trying to capture. Also i have thought about other things i can shoot which are associated with horses and link to close-up, therefore i hope i have enough time to shoot these as this is something i have not done before and hope to achieve.

What i actually achieved

The three images above are three images which i liked a lot which were achieved from my shoot. some of my ideas changed while i was on shoot and i thought of different ideas which i thought were very effective. The first image is one i had originally planned out, i like this image a lot because it shows a specific part of the horse, i also like how you can see the veins on the horse as this shows lots of detail and wasn't something i noticed at the time until i had the image on the computer. The second image is one i came up with on shoot, i wanted to show close-up of the stirrup and the boot in the correct position. I like how the boot is quite muddy as this makes the image look more natural and you can associate it with horses. The third image is a favourite of mine, i like it because it has been taken on an angle looking up which makes it look like the horse is jumping into the camera. it can still be classed as close-up because you can see the flowers and the round close-up and the horse still looks quite close.

What i will do next time

If i was to do this shoot again i would go back to my original plans and try to shoot more objects associated with the horse so i have a wider range. Also i would like to try and capture the horse freely running, as this is something i thought about afterwards.
