Location: Greve de Lecq
In my final selection I wanted to keep different orientation of images (portrait and landscape) so that I could pick and choose which ones would fir best in the book when I have all my images.
In this shoot I wanted to focus on the landscape and get different angles of the same location in a way trying to tell the story of the landscape. I chose Greve de Lecq because I have some old images from my archive from this location and I wanted to re visit it in the present day focusing on location rather than memories or people.
The lighting in these images is slightly different to what I intended because I wanted a more natural softer light to match my first shoot at St Catherine’s but the weather had changed and the sky was grey. However it is a different location and the images do not look too harsh or high-contrast which can work in the book.
When comparing my images to my artist references this shoot also resembles the work of Shipla Grupta because the focus is on the landscape and she uses similar compositions in her work. When I develop my images further, splitting them and creating double exposures they will relate more to my artist references but for now I am focusing on the compositions and lighting of each image and once I have all my shoots I will start to manipulate them more.
