Work Record Shoot 2

What I hope to achieve-
With this shoot I was hoping to use suitcases as my main objects within the photos and filling them with different items of clothing that all link to a certain place, this would then create the idea that someone is going to travel to a certain country. In the editing stages I would want to try and create a multiple imagery to show a contrast between each of the different props. Im hoping to keep them in colour as I feel that it would be easier to see the items that describe the location that would be travelled to.

What I actually Achieved-
I was able to photograph suitcases that hold different specific items that relate to beach, ski and formal holidays. I experimented with the editing and used multiple imagery and selective colour, I only edited two photographs in this shoot and used the different techniques on each photo. I also did manage to keep one of my straight images in colour which I think worked really well but the other only has a selected  amount that stays in colour, I am happy with this one also because the passport which is what is in colour is what I wanted to be the main focus of the photo.

I don't have a favourite photo from this shoot, however this one I am extremely happy with. The technique of selective colour fits in really nicely in the photo and draws the viewers eye to the passport, which is what I wanted. Usually when I do a selective colour you can tell the difference between the colours of the passport and the black and white image, however with this image the transition from the selected area and the black and white is really clear and makes the photo look natural. Therefore this is one of my favourite photos from all of my photographs overall.

I really like this image also because the multiple imagery shows the journey from one place to another that each photo is representing. I also am happy with how the white flooring smoothed out in the editing and didn't show any cracks in the flooring. I feel that this photo could be improved using more props in some of the photos because the suitcases in two of the images look a bit bare and therefore don't keep up to par with they entire photo.

What am I going to do next-
Next I would like to photograph something completely differ as I feel that showing contrast in my shoots would be nice overall. Therefore I would then like to photograph in a wooded area that has lots of paths, I would want to use a model for this shoot also to link in with the journey of a singular person.

I really enjoyed photographing this shoot as it was a lot of planning and placing props, so it has been a new experience for me compared to any of my other shoots for this theme.
