PHOTOSHOOT PLAN 1 – my grandparents
One of my initial ideas was to use a mixture of archived photographs of my grandparents, my nan with my grandad, nan with her new husband. These images will be in the beginning of my photo-zine as it’s the first relationship of the 3 generations. These photographs are all from family photo albums that have been passed down. Below are some I have already, the first image shows my grandparents marriage and a smaller photo of them together when they where younger, some photos show them both together and some are just of my grandad.
For my first photoshoot, I plan to use the photo-stand to digitalise my archived images of my grandparents. This will mean that my images are clearly lit up and taken directly from above. Below are some of the image I plan to retake using the photo-stand.
From this selection I decided that images 1, 3 and 6 would be ideal to photograph as a set for my photo-zine as I am working in threes (three relationships in three generations). I have also decided on two other images that I will shown in my Lightroom work later on.
After taking the images using the photo-stand, I transferred them into Lightroom (screenshot below). Although it was only a small photoshoot because I was only retaking images, I found the camera difficult to work with as there was a very bright light source from the equipment, which meant I had to adjust the camera settings differently. Below are all 30 images that I have put into Lightroom and will work with.
