The shoots previously to this I had the
time and means of being able to do them all in one day. This was really convenient
as it meant that I didn’t have to change the lighting or camera settings. However
this was a new day and I had to get everything set back up again so it took a
little while to try and get the lighting to match that of the previous shoots. However
I think that I have managed to do it pretty well after some messing about. I think
that this was due to taking notes and pictures of the set up of the lighting
and also the positioning of the reflector boards and camera.
This was one of the first images that I did
and I was still trying to get the lighting and the exposure right. So I wasn’t really
thinking about the framing of the image or also the models expression. I do
however like the models expression. I think that the lighting on her face might
be a bit too harsh on one side compared to the other but this would never be a
final image anyway because of the composition so I don’t think that it’s a problem
that I need to be worrying about. And also it was one of the beginning shots so
all these factors were reconsidered and changed later in the shoot.
(The below images I accidently changed the colour of
them by changing the white balance. This has since been changed back to normal
so my final image wont have a green tint to it.)
I think that in this image the model has a rather
negative expression on her face. She looks fed up and this is defiantly not
what I am wanting. Also her hair is shaved underneath (like an undercut) I want
to try and get this and maybe show it slightly in the image so I think a pose
looking to the side would be more suited to this particular model. I like the
green background as I think that it suits her skin tone and colour, obviously
not without the white balance changed as it makes her look sick. The lighting
is getting better in this image but I think that the reflector needs to be
closer to make the other side of the models face have more detail and less
darker shadows.
I was trying to get variation in the models looks
and the direction that she was looking in. I don’t like this one I wanted her
to look slightly up but my direction wasn’t as clear as I wanted and I really
struggled to get across what I wanted. So this is my fault that she’s literally
looking directly up. The lightings is much better though I personally think and
is getting closer to that of the shots that I have done previously.
I think that this image is more along the lines
that I want to go for as you can see more of the hair and how its styled. I
also like this because the light is hitting the models face directly so I don’t
have to worry about trying to reflect light into the darker areas on the models
face. The catch light in the eye is also really bright making them really
bright. What I also like about this is the stunningly beautiful colour of the
models eyes. The green coloured background enhances the models eye colour. I would
have to reshoot this though as I don’t want the models body turned as much and
also I think that my composition of the image is off. The model needs to be
more centered.
