Photo Shoot for Possible Outcomes

Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s work is very cinematic and this is something I would like to be able to try and recreate that filmic quality that he has with his work.  His work has a very warm colour palette there is a running sort of theme throughout his images in that the eye is draw to the stand out warmer parts of the photographs.  My aim will either be to capture this in the camera or to be able to edit this later in photo-shop.

Outcomes
Contact Sheet

Above shows a contact sheet of the outcomes of the photoshoot in response and inspiration to Philip-Lorca diCorcia. I went out from 5:15pm to 6:00pm as this was were the sun was setting and it was becoming dark, towards the later side of the shoot it soon became too dark to be taking the pictures however I feel I came out with some good outcomes.  I tried to find an area that had access to warm toned lights and streets that were quiet enough for me to take the pictures but also had some interesting surroundings and where needed I will edit the photographs to enhance the warm lighting.


Possible Outcomes

For the more successful of the images I edited them to have a warmer tone to the photograph, I did this by adjusting the brightness as needed and then using a warming filter (LBA) on photoshop, some needed more editing than others however I was able to give all of the successful images a warm tone to the image.

Below shows some of the outcomes after they have been edited, these were some of my more successful images that have come out of the shoot that I feel may be right for my final outcomes in a trio layout.
