Shoot Two

Shoot two went well however I had limited time to shoot as I wanted to do it on location as it was getting dark to intensify the grungey feel to the images I also wanted some with the orange of street lights in them.

I shot at Avenham Park under a bridge as it had a lot of texture ( things growing up the walls, stone, water, rock etc) which contrasted well against the soft fuzzy fabrics of the clothing.

To get around not having time to shoot on film I shot on my DSLR and put the ISO up to 800 so that the images are very grainy. I think the effect has worked well on the majority of the images it also helped having the ISO this high as the wasn't a lot of light and it allowed the images to stay bright enough. I stuggled with working with a tripod as I wanted to be able to move the camera arround more than I did. I wanted to take some close ups at different levels but couldn't do this as the tripod would only go to certain heights.

From the shoot I particularly like the lighting in the images by the brick wall (model in leather jacket and shirt) I like these because it was a different type of avalible light that enhanced the look of my images adding an orangey glow.

Dispite not using a professional model I think these images came out better than the earlier shoot. I felt more comfortable telling a friend what I wanted the poses to be where I was quite reserved with the Model. In future I'd like to work more with models so that I can improve my directing abilities and gain confidence in working with people I don't know.
