In order to do this shoot I am going to book the studio to make sure that I have the appropriate amount of time that I am going to need to take all of the photos. I also need to make sure that I have a model lined up to take photos of so that I won't be unprepared on the day. I already have someone prepared to do this shoot for me, so that's already sorted out. I need to also look over the technique pages for blurring and multiple flash as I want to add some technique work into this shoot as I think it will add an interesting effect to the overall shoot.
What I Hope To Achieve
When it comes to actually taking photos I am hoping that I am going to get a wide variety of different photographs, but so that I can piece them together or overlap them and for them to still make sense. In this respect, when I am actually shooting I am going to make sure that I get a lot of images that follow this type of pattern. It will make the editing process a lot easier for myself. I am also hoping that I might be able to form a type of flipbook, however this isn't a main priority as I might make it a physical experiment rather than putting it in an entire shoot. These are a couple of images that I have looked at as a form of inspiration.
What I Actually Achieved
I think that the shoot went really well and I am happy with the images that I got and also with the edits that I managed to make from them. I got a good variety of images that have allowed me to edited them in a few different ways. I experimented with overlapping images, lowering the opacity of them in the process so that you can see the features of all of the images. I especially like the way that this effect turned out on the edits. I also made a simple repetition image that I think turned out really well making me think that I should try and create some more of these to add the edits that I have already created. I also made a couple of edits where I blended two images together as I think that they had a really good look to them. These are two of my favourite edits from the shoot:
This was my most favourite edit from the shoot as I think it had a strong representation of multiple imagery involved in it. I think that the way that I have managed to get all of the individual photographs at the appropriate opacity so that you can see the features of each of the photos. I think that this effect looks really intriguing and the multiple imagery aspect reflects the different types of intense facial expression, which I think works really well in this sense. I also think that this image works a lot better due to the fact that I used a black background instead of another colour, which may not have worked as well.
This was my other favourite image. I liked the way that I managed to get it to look like they are almost sitting opposite each other, which I thought added to the overall look of the image. I was also torn between making the image black and white or leaving it in colour, so I decided to meet the differences and simply lower the saturation so that the colour that was in the image got darker and was leaning more towards black and white. This effect looks a lot better than when it was just in colour or just in black and white, which is why I decided to leave it this way.
What I Am Going To Do Next
In regards to this shoot, I am going to experiment a little more with the type of edits that I can produce in order to further my overall project quality. For my next shoot I am going to look at surrealistic ideas and create some work following the ideas presented in Thomas Barbey's work as he has been a constant photographer that I have been looking at throughout the entire project.
