Photoshoot plan: I wanted to re do one of my previous shoots with better lighting to allow me to capture the castles feature more clearly and in higher quality. I also want to incorporate toys from the original poem in the photographs and merge memories of time spent at this castle and playing with the toys at their house.
Due to the high winds whilst on this photoshoot I struggled to balance most of the toys in the foreground of the image. I ended up having to dig the back of the horse legs into the ground to secure it whilst I took the photo. The idea with the depth of focus was to make the toy look larger than life and the castle to be slightly romanticised by the blurring and size in comparison to the toy.
The shapes of the arch in the castle mimic those on the toy castle I used to play with, i wanted to capture this in some of the photos and possibly use it beside archival images in my final book to show the parallel.
