Work diary - Slow Sync

Evaluation

I thought this shoot went well as i wasn't to sure how to achieve slow sync and was a bit unsure about the whole thing as i know it was similar to the technique blurring. however, overall i thought the shoot went well as i achieved a ranged of photos which showed slow sync well as i wasn't sure what it was. i like the top image because it shows my model performing an action and i like the blurring affect of this. i also think the bottom image is good because it shows her head in two different places and it looks like my model is turing around.

What i would do next time

if i was to do this shoot again i would like to use different models and also different colour backgrounds as i would like to see the different effects of this and then i would be able to see which colour background shows the technique the best.

Work Diary - Personal Shoot 7

Evaluation

This shoot was based around shoes for advertising. i thought it went well as i wanted put the shoes on top of leaves to create a winter effect so it could be winter collections of shoes. i also like how i used two complete different types of shoes as this showed different collections. my favourite photo is of the new balance trainers s i think they look well in the leaves as the leaves contrast the colour of the shoes. i thought i this shoot was good because i managed to achieve pictures which represented adverstising and commercial photography. initially i thought this shoot wouldn't go very well as i hadn't done much planning, however it did in fact go well as i always get my best ideas when out there looking for things to do.

what i will do next time

next time i go to shoot shoes i will do this in the studio as it will enable me to be able to adjust the lighting and get photos on a plain background which will look good.

For this shoot i wanted to focus on fashion photography and accessories, i also wanted to pick a good location for this as i think this adds to the effect of the photo and can make it look better, and i thought it did. i thought i picked a good location as i could use some of the things i saw for props, for example in the photo above i thought my model looked effective in this box and it looked like she was trapped in a confined space wand i thought it made her look vulnerable. i also liked the photo above as i thought it showed my models outfit well and i thought it looked like the sort of picture you would see in a magazine. i though this shoot went well as i got a range of photos with my model doing different poses and wearing different outfits which i thought looked good and represented my personal topic of commercial photography well. i also liked the fact that i had a good model as i think this helps as you want a model willing to do what you ask them and to be quite photogenic. i think this has a big influence on how the photos turn out.

What i will do next time

Next time i do a shoot like this i would like to use more than one model as i thin this could work quite well together, also i would like to do a high fashion shoot and dress my model up a lot and give her different looks which i think would work well.

For this shoot i went to London in order to take photos of buildings and whatever else i could find which would fit in with my product. My outcome was very good and the two photos above are two i achieved from the shoot which i liked a lot.  i went to various places in London in order to get a range of photos, the two photos above are photos of the tower bridge and St. Paul's cathedral, other photos i got were of the London Eye, and buildings in china town which i thought were all effective still. i got a range of photos in the day and the night time which meant i had some strong photo choices to choose from. i was very happy with all the images as i took quite a few, one of my favourite images is the one of St Paul's cathedral, i like this photo a lot due to the lighting in the photo, i like how everything is dark and then the cathedral is bright with light shining on one side and dark on the other. i also like the image of tower bridge because i think its effective how the water is reflecting of the bridge, i have edited the photo to a purple colour which i also think makes the image look more effective as well as more bold.

What i will do next time

next time i got to London to take photos i will make sure i take spare batteries with me as my camera ran out of battery which was disappointing as i had a few more things in mind to photograph which i couldn't, however, i have saved tis for a another shoot.
