PHOTOSHOOT 2 –

• Surfer in a dark room preparing equipment and outside early in the morning before he break of dawn in the cold ready to go and surf.
• This photoshoot took place at my home. The aim of it was to capture a surfer in a cold environment (hence the thick coast), who was preparing for a surf in an environment that people would not usually like to be in (e.g. a cold garage, outside in winter, a dark rom on their own). This was to highlight the commitment surfers have to their sport and equipment to keep it in check and combat the stereotype of them being typically lazy.
• Therefore the areas I chose to shoot in were in my garage and outside my house. I captured my images in these places because they provided areas of low and dim lighting, whilst also being areas that are cold and require thick clothing to keep warm. They are also areas that people usually would not enjoy spending long periods of time in, therefore by photographing my brother there, they can relate it to similar environments around their home and it gives them an almost personalized knowledge of the dedication of the surfers spending their time there to continue with their sport.
