For this more bodily focused shoot ,I was inspired by a set of images that had such power and wonderment by expressing an personal exploration of their bodies and they way in which they work is so abstract from that of anyone else. I belive there is a real strong sense of emotion within these photos and also the way in which I could also form colour and composition into this could to connote many important ideologies to do with political, power and the effect this has on people emotionally. However to develop this shoot further I have decided to divid it into two sections, one of which purley focusing on the textures, forms ,shapes and composition in which a body can make. And the next is capturing someone dancing and the way in which there practice of a dance such as ballet is a complete contradiction in the way in which a human body can and should be able to contort itself. Because of this i belive every dancer must have a strong passion for the sport and also have a strong emotional vulnerability to be able to dance in front of so many and practice for the long extended periods that they do so well. I belive the body of a person is such a sublime concept. So many things need to work in order for it to transpire and work each and every day and this is almost unacknowledged and ignored. Because of this i belive its pain and yet the beauty it goes through contains such a strong sense of power that really makes it sublime.
For the first shoot I had many ideas going round my head of the way in which I should capture this shoot and the effect it has in many different Formal composition and colour co ords. I think I have experimented so well ad throughly and this will help in the long run as good practice before I concentrate on what I would view as the more difficult shoot with the dancer. Due to my book not having a exact narrative but each of the images having the relation of a sublime power will really work well with these shoots and also with the effect of my previous nature shoot.
Plan for part of this shoot:As spoken about previously I wanted my shoot to show such an abstract positive and worldly experience throughout the composition of the room itself to become inviting and full of senses to be heightened to that of the bright colour can create a trance like effect for those who become part of the art itself. I want to create a whole exhibition to capture a purity of life and love within the whole shoot. Not only this but motion will still be occurrent throughout the shoot, in order to show aspects fo reality and have the person being immersed within the space but not in such a easy they become a solid attribute of the space itself.When creating the space I was very particular about the images I intended to use. I wanted to show imagery that would enhance the space and create a dream like state of informed surrealism. After I had chosen the images my next aim was to set up the room and compose it in such a ways it would look effective and pleasing to whoever would walk in and see it.
hand and body edits and close ups
As said previously I wanted to focus on the bodily composition so edited and present my images of hand under the effect of light, as the light itself can convey an emotion dependent on the colour itself. I believe the hands are successful and contain an interesting interest point. Overall I Think the editing of the colour photos are too over exposed but this had to be done in order to fit with my manifestos artist inspiration. However I think this will further develop my ideas as i know now i do not want to continue with these ideas of faces, but focus more on the structure of the body, and this might become more interesting within the mystery and not seeing an identity to the image itself.
