William Ye Studio Shoot

EVALUATION: For this shoot I wanted to re create Williams Ye’s moulding of structure from a fluid object in order to connote themes of fine art. I wanted to use a variation of different colour, in order to create and highlight different tones on the central character himself. When setting up for the shoot I knew how pivotal it was for success that my lighting was able to capture the colour of the fabric without brightening the black background. Not only does this shoot represent a more fine art freedom sense of beauty, but I belive this shoot does too fit with my new themes of self love beauty with the everyday and a certain haiku of femininity and masculinity seen within this performance. There is an artistry of abstraction throughout this shoot. I think-it is fascinating even though how planed this shoot and how it was taken in the studio, there was still a sheer unpredictability to the formation of where the boy would be standing or how the sheet itself would fall. I choose a very quick shutter speed in order to access the clarity of the images that I wanted. My favourite image from this shoot is certainly the use of the gold being thrown and wrapped around the boy. Not only does it shoe a conceptual infraction of our own being and personality being executed as a piece of fine art, but it too is an exploration of identity and the unpredictability of life. The bright gold creates a bright contrast the the dark tonal black background, and the direct eye contact Is too fascinating. From this shoot I will now experiment with one other ye shoot, in which he uses a jar, to conceptualise the behaviours and feeling of someone and what they feel to be trapped inside. As this shoot was planned nearer the beginning of my project their are more links with fine art and the influence from the media, however it will definitely still help achieve the further experimentation to my final narrative project.
