Concept clarification

Ok, so for this project there has been some/many concept changes. This post it to clarify what my concept actually is.

I wanted to show a story through the photographic series in this project. As the project itself is called 'Light' I wanted to use light in a very controlled manner, showing only what I wanted the viewer to see. After a few of my test photos were shown I was pointed towards looking at Film Noir stuff. With that as my precedent I developed a story and went out for multiple shoots.

I think the end result has worked rather well and I am pleased with the results. I think it portrays the story well, and the black and white, though maybe not as visually striking as the colour version, makes the story more easier to follow. The colour version distracts from the story, I find that anyway.

Final shots (colour) - This is not my hand-in

Final 2

Final photos for project 3 (this is the hand in)

Here are my final photos for the project 3 hand-in:

Final

Project 3 Photo Shoot 4 and 5

Here is my 4th shoot for project 3:

Fourth Shoot



And here is the 5th and final shoot for Project 3: Fifth Shoot

Photo shoot 5 was really just taking the final shoots to fit into place in the sequence of my images.

Week 9 Task

Her is my week 9 task: creating an HDR photograph.
This photo was created by overlaying two photos and erasing out parts of the images so I could let what I wanted show through.

I don't really like this as a photo but I had to work with what weather conditions I was given and so this is what came from that.
I would have personally preferred to have a day that had nicer weather but oh well, you can't have everything your way.

Project 3 updates - film noir

After Thursdays presentation of work so far I was told to look at some Film Noir videos on YouTube:

Here are some I will use as precedents:

This one is over an hour so be careful with your internet

And this one shows how I would like to show some shadows on any faces I have in my project.

Third Project - Shoot 3

After last weeks tutorial and the comments I received I have decided on a style that I will keep consistent throughout the shots.

What was commented on was the way this particular photo was shot and framed:

The next and hopefully final shoot I do, I will have set up things to photography during the day and then take the photos at night, playing with the shadows and so on.

So here are the shots from shoot 3:Third Shoot
