Photoshoot!

Location

My location for this shoot was at college in the studio as it reflected the background in Ian Phillip-McLaren's photographs. The lighting was the only thing that was altered to create the lighting of the background.

Equipment

For my shoot I used a canon 5D Camera with a Canon EF Zoom Lens 24mm - 105mm

The lighting I used was flash lighting so that I could get the right effect on the background.

Who influenced me?

This photo shoot was inspired by Ian Phillips-McLaren, The lighting was set up to create the same effect as Ian's photographs. And I recreated some of the poses and facial expressions of my model from Ian's photographs.

Health and Safety

While doing the photo shoot in the studio they was a few things to consider like the wiring in the studio, making sure it was not frayed or damaged, making sure it was PAT tested and making sure we never tripped over it. I also made sure that if any of the lighting needed moving that I got someone that was trained to move it as I was not trained in how to move it correctly and safely. While moving props I made sure that I bent my knees and kept my back straight to avoid injuries.

My first session in the studio.

Location

My location for this shoot was at college in the studio as it reflected the background in Vee Speer's photographs. The lighting was the only thing that was altered to create the lighting of the background.

Equipment

For my shoot I used a canon 5D Camera with a Canon EF Zoom Lens 24mm - 105mm

The lighting I used was continuous lighting so that I could get the right effect on the background.

Who influenced me?

The photographs that I taken in my first studio shoot were influenced by the photographs taken by Vee Speers. They was very emotionless but I tried to add a bit more colour to the model by getting him to wear bright clothes and using objects that are brightly coloured. The tonal range of the background was quite grey which still gave the dullness to the photographs. Most of my photographs were taken with my model facing towards me and with the photograph cutting off the bottom of his legs but I wanted to mix it up so I took some photographs of my model sitting down. I wanted to create the unusualness of Vee Speers photographs so I got my model to bring a range of outfits that was all different but each had a weird sinister side to them.

I also had a little bit of influence from Ian Phillips-McLaren when I took some photographs of my model in normal clothing.

Health and Safety

When in the studio I used a naked flame but I made sure that it would not be able to cause damage to the studio or harm to my model. That's why I used a lighter instead of matches as if a lighter is dropped then the flame goes out.
