Shoot Two

For my second shoot, the models used the powder paints and threw it at each other. This created a huge, colorful mess but I am rather proud of the images that I've produced. The main problem I faced was three of my main models not turning up so I had to make-do with two models, but I directed one of the models to take some images so I could step in and become an extra model. To direct my model, I changed the settings so the camera had the correct shutter speed, aperture and ISO. I wasn't able to get many close-up shots because the close-ups were going to be on the three models that turned up, so I decided to focus the close-ups on eyes and also fingertips/hands. I didn't take that many pictures but it felt like I took quite a lot during the shoot so I think I would've had a wider range of images if I took more. When it came to the clues-up shots on their eyes, I had a little bit of a struggle with the exposure due to the use of a studio light; I was using the ceiling lights for the action shots for a low-key effect.

Final Image Ideas
After looking through the images, I have finally decided on a couple of final images. Three of the final images are close-ups on eyes. One of the images is a portrait of a model with their hat on which looks interesting because the colours are bright and stand out. I haven't edited the images a lot because I think they look fine as they are, however I have cropped the images and enhanced the vibrance. My editing technique for enhancing the vibrance is rather simplistic, I used the vibrance adjustment tool and changed the vibrance to brighten to colours. In my opinion, my strongest image from this shoot is the portrait at the bottom with the brightly coloured hat; I think this is because the model is not facing the camera and the colours stand out, I also think the low-key lighting completes the image because there's not too much going on in the image. For my final images, I will be using some from the plain photoshoot but also some from the powder paint shoot, I think this will create a nice contrast because the shoots seem to compliment each other well.
