Community – Shoot 3

This shoot pairs with my second shoot focusing on the area closer to my home, but I take a more abstract and meaningful approach. I displays how the area can seem completely different depending on when you visit, some days it can be busy with children out having fun, where other days it can seem like a ghost town. These images will be displayed in pairs to show comparisons between the two.

Plan and Process

For this shoot, my plan was to use a tripod to keep the frame steady and consistent throughout different shots. I took an image of empty space with no subjects in the frame, I then photographed one subject in multiple different places within the frame, without moving the camera, My plan is to edit these images in photoshop to make the subject appear multiple times in one frame. This is to symbolise how busy and also empty areas of the local community can be.

Editing

In photoshop, I cut out parts of different images and aligned them so the subject appears multiple times in one frame.

Favorite Image

This is my favorite image because it is the most seamlessly edited. This photo also caught my attention because of the colourful backgroung and texture of the wall ehich brings more life to the image.

  1. Some great portraits with careful framing and consideration of the quality of light. Continue to make images in response to your research into family archives and home life and identity in a broader sense. If you produce a shoot every week it could become something!
