studio day 2 (shooting for final images)


So today is my last day shooting in the studio and its where I intend to shoot the majority of my photos. This time after entering the studio I got this homely vibe and I began to understood this is their place of work and even though everything is scattered about they know where everything is, in todays shooting session I wanted to focus on capturing my subjects facial expression when he is glued into working on songs and also his passion when he is on the microphone. Below you will see my process of elimination to decide which photos I will use for my final images. When analysing I will be focusing on the aspects that follow the them of my project, which is mainly focusing on the uniqueness of my subject and the passion that strives him to make music for his fans.


Contact Sheets

 01/01/2019



 

Above you can see I have created a contact sheet of all the photos I shot in the studio, I will now be making a smaller contact sheet of potential images I will be using for my final six, I feel I obtained some strong images during the session, however I need to eliminate the weaker images from the
process.


Above is a finalised contact sheet, from this I am able to select which photos I think best work well in my final images. Below is a process I use in order to pick out which photos I think are the strongest, I also include a small annotation of writing with the strengths in the photo of what editing I should do to it in photoshop.




From the contact sheet above I decided what photos I was going to be using which allowed me to start the editing process of each individual photo in photoshop, as I have made small notes of what specific things I want to change I can now easily move on to that stage.

Abstract

Photography theory Bates speaks about 3 different aspects of photography theory which are: identity, culture and social value he ten furthered this by speaking about 'theory of representation' and how the French philosopher 'Louis Althusser' argues that ideology was primarily communicated through images and some may find this ideology to be true and some may view them as false, but what is clear is that photographs are made up of codes and languages that all peoples differently. Another word for this 'language' is semiotics which is a system of signs that people see in a photo, one of the pioneers of semiotics was Ferdinand de Saussure who argued that language is am 'organised system of signs'. Semiotics is also used to distinguish the photograph from the concept of the photograph, a viewer is needed to give the picture a signified meaning as they will have their own interpretation of the photo (the concept) . This was a photo taken by 'Ri...

portraits / studio work / composition

The way in which I want to shoot my images is in a set of 6 portraits the reason for this is after reading bate's work on portraiture I feel this is the best way to get a full visual representation as bate's describes portraits as being an 'identity' that can be depicted through the photos. As you can I have chosen the artist 'Joel Knight' as research for modern portraiture, shot in a studio as in this weeks session we are experimenting we will be experimenting in the studio working with different lighting and seeing if I wanted to shoot my final images in a studio environment.  This portrait on the left by Joel Knights is a perfect example is what I'am trying to achieve in the studio in todays session as it has nice lighting that highlights the subjects face showing their key features. And after reading David Prakël's reading on 'composition' I learnt that 'composition is the process of identifying and arranging the elements to produce a ...

portraiture

Portraits are said to be made up of 4 different aspects, such as: face, pose, clothing and location. you can use these different aspects to create a photo best suited to the subject. "portrait is a means employed to establish the identity of the sitter" Portraits are thought out to be shot at weddings birthdays and other various ceremonies however Bates argues that they are an 'art of description' which make up peoples social identity examples like passport photos that act as a legal identity. portraits are also a common form of advertisement when it comes to fashion, there are various different things that can be used to make up a trait such as : props, costumes and backgrounds, however it is the social identity that is the performance for the camera. A portrait can be set up to reveal whatever personality you want depending on what the subject is wearing, this is very important to bear in mind as that means the photographer can decide what he ants the viewer ...
