Tableaux in relation to a childhood memory shoot

Aim: My aim for this shoot is to create a series of tableux portraits which show the memory of my bestfriend where we first met and first became friends but now 14 years on looking back at the environment.

Photo Shoot Plan:

Genre Location subject lighting Composition Settings Colours
-tableaux photography

-environmental portraiture

 

– St Marys primary school

-explore locations around the nursery asĀ  there are stories here aswell.

-outside the school has the biggest significance.

 

-Friend Naomi to be the protagonist of the portraits (focal point)

-Background subject = the school and environment surrounding it

-message of the images is friendship and how growing up hasn’t stopped us from being friends

 

  • i am planning to go on this shoot on a cloudy day so that there isnt much bright harsh sunlight – im hoping that this will mean the colors of the image will be bolder and more dramatic because the light wont be taking attention away from the image
– main composition element that i want to focus on is breaking the rule of thirds

  • i want to have a running theme throughout this short series of the subject being directly in the centre of the image

 

No flash setting

  • wide angle lens
bold colours

  • colours that will contrast with the subjects purple hair.
  • Bold colours = to symbolise happy and big memories and events in or lives

Shoot Evaluation: i think that altogether the shoot was successful. There were some outcomes which i really liked and captured the story that i wanted to tell. The bold colours of the Blue which symbolizes St Marys has a powerful message and i like the constant story which now runs throughout the images because they all contain the same blue shade in terms of the background and then linking the subject to the environment is the same shade of blue in her outfit as she is purposely wearing blue jeans to match this. i also thing that strong portraits have been captured. Another message i have tried to capture in these images is the differences between the person who used to go to this school when we were younger to the mature adult that the subject is now. This is highlighted in the stance and posture and sophisticated facial expressions in the images.
