I did a music theme for my Social studio shoot. overall I am happy with how the final images turned out. If I was shooting this again I would make sure I moved the light further back or added another light at the bottom to light the bottom half.

For my studio social shoot I am going to have a music theme because the people I am going to be photographing are a singing duo. Guitars will be used in this shoot to add context. I am planning on shooting against a black background I want the style to be quite dark with even light on to the sitters. I am going to experiment with light from above for as I think this will be interesting lighting the sitter with a guitar.

Social

Above are contact sheets for both my studio social and location along with the final print with two shots from each shoot.

Studio Social

For my studio social i shot my friend Chris i had planned to shoot him for my Bailey brief but he wasn't available to later on and i didn't want to leave Bailey to late because of developing and printing, however i decided to shoot him in the style of Bailey for my Studio social brief. So for this shoot i used a white background and i used one light with a beauty dish attached to light the model, i had asked him to wear a suit for the shoot as this is what i had planned for my Bailey shoot but i also decided at the last minute to try something along the lines of what venture do in there shoots by trying to incorporate and aspect of the sitters life so i brought along a computer controller because Chris is into computer games however i don't think these images really work that well (since the shoot i has seen an image that would have worked a lot better where the wire for the controller is placed just under the lens and then goes out to the model, i think that this would have made for a better shot).

Overall i am very happy with how the shoot when and think that i have a good range of images but i feel like i could have been more successful in trying to bring over more of Chris’s personality in the images.

Location Social

For the location social brief i decided early on that i was going to shoot my friends band Monofly, I found this to be the hardest shoot so far mostly because finding a time when everyone could meet and finding a period of time when it wasn't raining was challenging, also i have never photographed a group of this size before so i found posing them difficult also. My plan for this shoot was to do the shoot on a footbridge over the M8 at night so i could capture some light trails, i planned on shooting under the Kingston Bridge if the weather was bad. So when i final managed to arrange a date for the shoot i when down to the recording studio because i felt it was a good idea to get some backup image incase what i had planned didn't work out, so i arranged the band in front of the drum kit and took some shots, i then arranged them around the drum kit and then around an amp as well. The lead singer also wanted some shots against a white background luckily there was a white wall in the room i think these image turnout rather well but it was not what i had originally planned for, so after they had finished practicing we went to my backup outdoor location because it was raining two of the band had to leave so i was left with three which is what i needed for the brief (i found it easier to position 3 people than 5) so i did some shots under the Kingston bridge i tried a few different poses then brought in some guitars also. The challenge with this is i was using a long shutter speed to capture some of the ambient light so this meant that the band had to stand quite still when i was shooting this meant that not every image turned out well.

Although this shoot was the most challenging i am really happy with the way the shots have turned out i think the ones in the studio have turned out well even the ones with the white background because i only had two speed lights one for the background and one for the band, but i think the best shots are from under the bridge because this is what i had planned and tested for so i had a better idea of what i wanted. I think in the future i need to improve on my positioning of people especially groups of people.

Studio Social Photography

The first image is a family group shot, the image is different from other family shots i have seem as the family is on the floor so this gives it a much more relaxed feel, every one looks comfortable and relaxed. The lighting is very soft and even and appears to be from just one light that looks like it is above and almost in front of the group.

The next image is of a young girl, i like this image because of its us of a bright coloured background think the pose of the girl is very interesting with her looking off to something that is happening out of the frame it is a nice soft light that appears to be coming from the right hand side.

The next two images is from an engagement shoot that was taken in the studio which is slightly unusual because most of there shoots are taken on location what i like about these images is the playfulness of the images and the use of props in the images. The images look like they have been taken with two lights on either side of the camera the light is soft and even given very little shadows.

The final image is a baby shoot what i really like about this image the idea of using a famous seen from star wars “i am your father” but I'm contrast with the film this image has a much softer feel to it with the way the dad is holding the baby. the light in this image is very soft, i fell like the lighting for this image would have been tricky because of the shininess of the helmet.
