Shoot 7

Second part of the shoot is to do a close up image. Again using the same lighting set up to really highlight the face, I really wanted to capture a really nice and bright catch light in the models face to brighten the image and also make the image have depth rather than being flat.

Again I think that I have really been able to create a really nice contact sheet, every image is exposed correctly and even tones throughout. Also managed to get a variation in expression what was really important.

May need to work on the lighting in this image a bit more as it is quite dark and there is a real contrast, maybe try and even this out a little bit, but the fact that I have caught the subject mid laugh is really nice and looking at the image really makes me smile. Its refreshing to have an image that isn’t intense and serious as I feel this is what I always produce, I might try and capture this more often.

This might be my favourite shot from the shoot, I like that he has a natural expression but is really warm and welcoming, it’s not intense. Really nice catch light in the subject’s eyes, this opens the whole face up and gives depth to the image. I’m happy with the framing of the subject and how his head is positioned in the centre of the frame.

Although I think that this image is really striking I think that it may be too posed for my liking and this is something that I really didn’t want for this image. I wanted to capture detail in the face and extenuate the features and I think by the subject looking away this doesn’t quite come across.
