School Project

As part of my Photography AS course, we have a 5 hour experimental day to take of photographs of anything we choose within a chosen path to do with what we like and have been doing. I chose to do a photoshoot and below I have included a selection of my final outcomes.

All photos were taken on a Nikon D3200 using an 18-35mm lens. The photoshoot was set up with two studio lights - one with a translucent umbrella one without, facing towards the model. However part of the day was to experiment, so I tried moving around the lighting and putting it behind the model to minimise a shadow created on the wall.



I love the side profile shot and it reminds me of the work by Lee Miller - classic black and white photos from a side profile. This was created by positioning one light behind the model and the other coming in from the left hand side with a translucent umbrella to soften the light.

Overall, the outcomes have been successful as they show an exploration of the lights and each one is unique because of the variation of props, lights and poses. I hope that I can continue to create photos like this in the future!
