Fields of Melody

The reason for this shoot is because genuinely people associate spring with positivity,  because it’s going from the end of the bad weather to the start of the good weather. Therefore I thought I’d use the season to help bring positive vibes to my photographs, another prop I used was the daffodils in my shoots, these are an important aspect as they are one of the most typical spring flowers, and therefore what represents spring in my photographs.

The image below works well as it looks like an image which may have been taken in the 60s when it was the decade of hippies, it looks like this by the use of the outfit the model is wearing, the use of the guitar and also the field of flowers, it also looks like its taken on an old film camera and looks like its been developed. This works well as with this shoot I was trying to represent peace and happiness and thats exactly what hippies are about, also it tends to be ‘free spirits’ / ‘hippies’ who tend to do a lot of travelling. Which works well as my photographs are all about a journey.

I love the photographs below, as they are capturing movement of the model, giving the photographs energy. The focus is on the model and the guitar, even though they’re both in the midground they are the focus and the foreground such as the daffodil is even slightly out of focus. The composition works well as the white daffodil is what your eyes are immediately drawn to therefore you look at that which shows you the season, making it positive before you even see the main subject, one then looks up to the model holding the guitar. The use of facial expression on the models face also creates a positive atmosphere and feeling to the photographs.
