Who
Younger models, preferably females. They will most likely be some of my friends from my school.
What
I will focus on the face of the models, as well as hands put near their face. I will experiment with emotions, taking photos of the models with a range of different expressions which are similar to the models in Maurizio Anzeri’s photographs, such as; happy, serious/neutral (mostly), obscure/silly and other emotions. I want to make sure the photos of the models faces are as sharp as possible, similarly Lee Jefferies photography.
Where
I will take the photos in the studio at my school using one point lighting like did in my chiaroscuro photoshoot and maybe change the lighting to a ring light half way through the photoshoot. I will ask the models to stand slightly to the side of the spotlight the create shadows on their faces and I will also as them to stand directly in front of it also, I will do the same for the ring light.
When
I will take the photographs during a photography lesson or in one of my free periods at school, i will photographs as long as possible to ensure I have a good amount of quality photographs, although this depends on when the studio is free and when my models are free.
Why
I am deciding to have the lighting and models positioned this way in order to get similar images to the photographer Lee Jefferies’ work. Although I will not be able to get the exact photo I want without editing the image on photoshop as this photographers photographs look extremely dark due to certain tones being diminished to allow other tones to stand out, as well having to lower the aperture. I have chosen this photographer so I can express what I think identity is through loss of identity and identity shown through lack of emotion and loss of belonging.
Here are some of the images that inspired me:
How
I will set up the studio with the camera on a tripod to prevent camera shakes, so the images are in focus, as well as this I will set up a one point lighting system in order to allow the faces and hands of the models to be exposed and seen properly without the background being shown in detail, the same goes for the ring light. I will set the shutter speed to a lower setting to make the photo come out sharper and in focus and the aperture should be around f/4 or lower.
