In this photoshoot I took the photos in the studio using two point lighting to get the brightness and exposure that I wanted in the images below. The models I used were asked to pull different facial expressions that were similar to the some of models facial expressions in Maurizio Anzeri’s photography. All lights where set at a neutral colour rather than tinted warm or a cold colour but I had the lights as bright as possible. I had the two LED panel lights illuminating the models from the right and the left also. I have chosen not use some of my photographs as the models were not always pulling the right facial expressions. I have also chosen to crop some parts of the images to make them more symmetrical. My best images were the ones where I barely had a any shadows in the background although I have chosen some photographs with shadows in the background because the facial expressions the models had were better than some of then. photographs with no shadows in the background.
Best Photos
I have specifically chosen these photographs as my best images as my best images because they had the best lighting on the models face and in the background/the models had the best facial expressions. These images were also the most in focus due to the camera being on a tripod keeping the camera steady.
Editing My Best Photo
I have edited this photo to look like an older photograph although I had still tried to make the model look in focus and not grainy. I did this using photoshop using various tool and layering filters and lowering their opacity in order to see the model clearly. I will be sewing different coloured string onto the final image just like Maurizio Anzeri’s work. I have edited the photo like this as the images from Anzeri’s work are mostly old images. This photo links to the loss of identity as I am taking photo with a modern camera and then trying to make it look vintage which takes away the photos identity of being a modern photograph. The sewing I will be doing on top of the image is also related to loss of identity as the string will be cover up some of the face in the photograph.
