Planning For Photographs


Planning of photograph inspired by Nadav Kander

Working with: (Annaleigh and Rosina.)

Pictures inspiring me:

  • This picture is my main inspiration, as it is quite different from others that I have seen previously.
  • Many people in typical photo shoots will want to use makeup, but instead I will be using another image of nature to decorate someone’s face.
  • I have previously taken a few photos of nature that I could use – they do not necessarily need to be images of trees.
  • To create this photo, I’ll be using a projector, onto a black/ grey background. To contrast with this and make the model stand out more, the model will wear a white vest / top. The top will be plain and present neutral tones. For experimentation purposes and for documentation, I will take photo's without the projected images, as then, if the projector does not look right, I can Photoshop images onto Annaleigh's face to see if that gives the same effect.
  • The lighting used in this photo uses a light source from the left, and a light source from the back. This highlights the hairline, and presents the main features of her face. I don't quite think this is three point lighting because there are still some contrasts that show cheekbones and give her contouring on her face.  I will use the projector as a light source, and I will have a light source at the back. As I'll be creating a dark background / atmosphere, I don't want too many light sources.
  • Unlike the model in this photo though, I will experiment with different expressions and angles to see which one looks the best.
