SHOOT: THE CREATION OF TAKE 1 - PORTRAITS
THE MIDDLE IMAGE: THE BIRTH OF X
Originally I wanted this shoot to focus on the 'The Creation Of' image, but I failed to realise that equipment hire was closed during my allocated studio time thus leaving me with no camera. So all was not lost, I went ahead anyway and used a phone. This obviously had it's drawbacks particularly the fact that the image wouldn't take as I pressed the button so the model would move and I'd get a blurry picture. I ended up trying the model in different positions and seeing how the lighting portrayed into the images, this also meant that the model could start getting an idea of what I was trying to achieve - this could take a while.
I had suspected that the model would just wear black trousers but with the black background they faded away. I am considering using red gels to counteract this so the light points on the model pick up the colour.
I definitely lost my way with the plan for the content of the photos so on reflection the best scenes to create moving forward would be a back shot of X preaching to a crowd, the birth or creation of and the taking of the forbidden fruit.
PREACHING TO CROWD:
THE BIRTH OF VENUS:
Don't need to be so dramatically lower than him
Nice high light point
Forbidden Fruit:
Shadow could be altered evil - legs are irrelevant - shoot waist up
Nice but I want to see face and much closer up
Angular arms are more dramatic
need him to stand in front of something that can be a halo

the latter experiences a sublime purging trauma."

An exchange is given. The majority of viewers will have preconceived thoughts on Christianity, and my series will allow those that relate to expel some of their negative energy towards it.

PREACHING TO CROWD:
position too short but portrait? good shadows on neck, face too model-y, needs to be speaking
THE BIRTH OF VENUS:
curve of shadows on dark front side of face
pose perfect, body lit well, face needs another light, too flat, good angle from below, could work on hands
hand works better, harsher lighting on face good, softer lighting on body good
hands much better, lighting too soft
good light in eye, good shadows on face, bad angle from me in relation to model, light needs to be much further left for straight on photos
too pretty, too soft, good face position, wrong body angle
over exposed, wrong angle, good pose
struggled to get the model to stop posing - will have to shoot from behind
Nice high light point
Forbidden Fruit:
Shadow could be altered evil - legs are irrelevant - shoot waist up
Nice but I want to see face and much closer up
Angular arms are more dramatic
need him to stand in front of something that can be a halo
