Work Record Shoot 3

What I was hoping to achieve-
With this shoot I was hoping to capture images of someone taking a journey down paths in a wooded area. I wanted to use a prop that signifies a journey such as a backpack and take images from behind the model of her moving forward away from the camera. With the feel of the images I am hoping to add in a sinister genre that conveys the woods and the journey they are travelling as scary and unhappy. Im thinking about having them move through the trees swell as down paths to show them travelling through different terrains, this could be good also to show texture.

What I actually achieved-
I used a female model within this shoot, I had her wearing a backpack like I wanted to indicate that she is travelling and taking a journey. The setting that the photos were in is woods which had loads of paths for her to travel down. I believe that I achieved the sinister and unhappy feel in the photos I did this by decreasing the saturation and vibrance of the photos so that they only have a slight amount of colour that isn't bright in any way. Overall I believe that I achieved what I had hoped to at the beginning before I photographed.

This is my favourite photo out of all that I have edited, this is because I feel that the theme of journey can be seen clearly. Also because all the elements that I had been hoping to include were all incorporated within this photo. I am happy with how the editing looks in this image because it definitely  conveys a scary and sinister feel that I was hoping for. The photo looks clear which was problem for some of my other photos in this shoot. 

This is probably my least favourite out of all of the images that I have produced this is because its not completely in focus also the editing has made it look darker and the jacket starts to blend in with the dark shadows of the trees. I think that journey can be seen within this photo but I really don't think that all of the elements work well together to make the photo look appealing to the eye.

What am I going to do next-
In my next photography shoot I am going to be taking photographs at night to show my own personal journey through the streets at night time. Im going to be taking photos of parked cars and streets with the street light as the only thing lighting the photographs. I think that using selective colour might be nice in this shoot also duotone would be a really nice technique to try and include.

Overall I am happy with the photos that I produced as I have used a different genre than what I have used in any photography shoot. I do think that a journey can be seen within these photos and am happy with my work.
