Photo Shoot Plan
| Who | In the photo I am going to have me as the main subject because it is about me and my identity and i want the focus to be me. To take the photo I will be using self timer as it will be easier than trying to direct someone else to take the photo and it can be a self portrait. |
| What | I will be sat either in the middle section of the photo or slightly to the side surrounded by objects and my room reflecting different things about me. |
| Why | I want to take these pictures because I think identity is more than who you are as a person and can be reflected in objects, the objects also tell a story as they are strong messages that describe who I am as a person, what hobbies and interests I have and preferences. |
| Where | The location will be my room because I think that someone’s room or personal space, such as an office, can describe a lot about someone because usually it reflects them directly as they spend most time in there meaning that it is their own world, surrounding themselves with things they want to be surrounded with and personalising every part to themselves. |
| When | I will be taking the photos during the day so that I can use natural light, however on a day where there is no sun and the sky is grey because I do not want the picture to be really warm as I think that would impact the mood of the image and I want the objects in the room to set the mood because I am trying to describe me through them. |
| How | I will be using a digital camera and self timer so that I can take them myself. |

First I set up my camera so that you would be able to see most of the half of my room with the most ‘personality’ focusing on the busiest part of my room. I set my camera on the TV (Time Value) setting so that I could ensure the image would be sharp and crisp by focusing on the shutter speed. I used the natural grey light from outside and white LED lighting to make the image bright and light. I then changed the LED lighting on a warmer setting because I did not like how cold the image was. I then decided to focus on the ISO settings as I realised that the shutter speed was not the issue and was more about the lighting.
