Unit 2- Shoot 1

For my first shoot I took a group of friends to an underground subway, then a woodland area in formal wear. I found this really fun because I could experiment slightly with what I wanted to do because I had no attachments to other shoots at this point.

These images are the edited pictures that are in my portfolio

UNIT TWO~ EXAM UNIT!

I am actually really excited about this unit but at the same time slightly scared because it's independent work and we'll be on our own in our own projects so the person working next to me will be on a completely different project at a completely different stage to me. Our brief is to have 8-10 shoots in our project, our 4th or 5th shoot being our exam shoot, in which we have 5 hours to edit and write about our shoot without any help or guidance. We were given 5 options of what we were able to base our project on.

The options for our exam project were:

• Musical instruments and musicians
• Multiple images
• Issues
• Contrasts
• Home

I chose to do Contrasts as I did it in Unit 1 and I really liked it but I felt like I could have done more to it, so I've decided to do it again but more of it. At the start of our project we had to create a mind map of all our ideas that we had for our project and what shoots our ideas might become. I have put my mind map below.

I think I will stick roughly to my mind map with my ideas however because our ideas have to flow into each other I might rethink on which idea I will do for each shoot and I might decide that I can't do as many shoots as I thought for each idea.

Unit 1 conclusion and Inkjets

For my first photography unit I think this went okay, it was a fun unit but I could have done better though with developing each idea in each brief, but that's something to bare in mind for Unit 2. At the end of the unit we had to pick at least 8 best shots from the whole unit to print out as Inkjets, I think this was actually the hardest part of the unit- looking back at everything as a whole and picking out the images that stood out the most. Anyway, these were the shots I finally chose as my Inkjets.
