After looking at Rinko’s work I found that she focused a lot on the nature and things that weren’t manmade and had appeared naturally. So I thought that it would be best to do this shoot in a woods, however on the day that I was planning to do the shoot the weather was very over cast. So if I had gone to the woods it would have been very dark, which isn’t what I wanted. So instead I went to Queens Valley Reservoir which is very open had has no trees covering it, the light here wasn’t that good but it would have been better than what would have been in the woods.

As this shoot was meant to focus on photograph the small little things that I was normally pass by without thinking, it made me look at the environment surrounding me in a way that I’ve never seen it before. It made me slow down and really look around and appreciate the beauty of the things that were around me. I think that this shoot was successful, but I do wish that the weather had been sunny as I think that this would have enriched the quality images.

When looking at Rinkos work I found that it all has this style which, is very bright and light, so when it came to the editing process I wanted to experiment with this technique. But I still wanted the images to have their natural colours and not be too manipulated, so they still had this sense of pureness to them.
