For my next photo  shoot, I’m developing my previous idea further. Still using the same concepts and photographer as inspiration I decided to photograph a model in a different setting. I wanted to go somewhere where I could have an open space, like Woodman did in her work- and also somewhere that had quite a gloomy old feeling so I chose to conduct my photo shoot in a car park, using a wall as my background.  I took the same approach to this photo shoot as I did with my previous one. I made sure to utilise the same type of clothing on my model, and I also wanted the model to use body language in order to express certain concepts and feelings that i felt could be associated with a loss or lack of identity. I also used long exposure combined with a lower ISO in order to achieve the blurry effects in the images you can see below.

Analysing

Technical

This image was taken using quite a slow shutter speed and a low ISO.

visual

In the photo we see a female figure were black clothing blurrily holding he arms up to hold her face. She appears to be quite sad/mad/distressed as her pose looks like an emotional outburst. The model is surrounded by a large,open, plain space.

conceptual

This image is supposed to portray the feelings that may be associated with loosing or lacking an identity. The female in the image clearly feeling quite distressed. This emotional outburst is something I would consider to be associated with not being sure who you were. The fact that she’s also dressed very plainly and that the image is taken in an open space is also representative of not having an identity, as her clothing and the space that she’s in is very plain and not individualised.
