In my first shoot of my mum the reflection was too bright and therefore was too distracting from the main subject. Also since then I decided to make sure people did not smile in the photo. As it is someone I live with, I have been able to reshoot to improve this. To begin withContinue reading “RESHOOT 2”

For this shoot I managed to photograph 4 people. First there was 3 people in one house, then I drove to my sisters to take her photo. I thought more about my voyeuristic approach, the window giving me a private view into the subjects safe spaces. Like before, I knew straight away with the firstContinue reading “SHOOT 12 (P2)”

Recently the main visual research I have done is looking at how contemporary photographers have changed their practice due to the lockdown. Although this has been really helpful in seeing how others have overcome the social distancing and how I can improve my work, I think now I need to focus on photographers work whoContinue reading “VISUAL RESEARCH – VIVIAN MAIER”

I now have 5 strong portraits and many more lined up. I also have some successful landscapes from my walks. Since I have had this book idea, I have always imagined that I would have the portrait on one page, followed by a double page landscape photo. This means each portrait is broken up betweenContinue reading “BOOK LAYOUT IDEAS”

Although I might incorporate landscapes into my work, I have still focused on the portraits as this is the main part of the project and I plan for my main outcome to be big prints of the portraits. I contacted another person and her mum was also happy to be involved. Like every shoot, IContinue reading “SHOOT 11 (P2)”

Although we were told to ‘social distance’ there wasn’t an actual lockdown. After taking photos outside, I simply pointed my camera at my sister who was posing through a window.Continue reading “VISUAL RESEARCH – HOW PEOPLE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THE SAME THING”

While I go on walks almost daily, I have been taking photos more just for myself. I thought that because I had so many I could include these into my project. As it wasn’t for any specific reason the photos are of different things I have found on my walks. Theres almost three different categories,Continue reading “PHOTOS FROM WALKS”

While I wait for responses from my social media post, I have reshot my portraits that could be improved. Firstly I reshot the ones of my brother. Although I liked the previous ones, he was looking at the camera. I tried to keep the composition and lighting the same and simply change how the subjectContinue reading “RESHOOTS”

I have done a few shoots now as part of my new idea. I have put all the final images on the same page so I can reflect of what works best. Unfortunately there is a few shoots that were not successful, but it was something I could not control. I can control the reflectionContinue reading “DEVELOPMENT”
