After doing the shoot down at Queens Valley which wasn’t that successful I waited until the weather was good and went out at the first chance that I had. For this shoot I went down to Val de la Mare. The inspiration for this shoot was Rinko Kawauchi who has become a become inspiration for the whole of the project. In Rinkos images she focuses on the small things that we would normally pass by in everyday life if we didnt take the time to stop and appreciate the things that are around us.
Overall I think that the shoot was very successful and I have produced many images that I am really happy with. I think that in this shoot I have really captured Rinko’s ideas of ‘finding beauty in the everyday’. As many of these images have a sense of spiritually to them, which is something that I want to achieve in this project.
Following on from our conversation yesterday try and find a structure to work from eg. all the elements that is necessary for life to exist:
Fire
Earth
Water
Air
Or find common visual thropes and motives that gets repeated:
water
insetcs
sunlight
circles
hands
etc
Try also and edit some of the images as monochrome and experiment with tints, inverse, colour layers etc – make new blog posts about this
Borrow two books by Rinko and Anna and study for ideas above
