Evaluation of the first photo-shoot
I am quite happy with the way that my first shoot went, especially
with the time period that I was allowed on the day and the lack of experience I
had at the time. In this shoot I tried to create some images in a similar style
to Martin Schoeller. I realise that I didn’t take my pictures in a passport
style, as he does, but I did try to use low contrast lighting. This is the
lighting setup I used.
It’s easy to see that I didn’t really succeed with my
attempt at creating a low contrast image because you there is still a lot of
definition in the face but however I am happy in the way that they turned out. I
like them because they are an honest representation of the model which was a trait
of Martin Schoeller and they’re a good first try with a new camera. To make a
successful image I needed to add a light to the setup which should have been
facing the camera and placed behind the model.
This has been a good learning experience and I feel much
better about using the equipment. I will definitely try to use the low contrast
lighting again but I think I will try to learn some more techniques.
