Ideas

Task plan 3 photoshoots one inside one outside and one with 2 or more people.

Photoshoot 1: For the inside photoshoot I will ask one of my friends if I can photograph them in their room. Lounging like they would do in their day to day life to give the image an intel into what they are like as a person. I will probably use a higher angle to include as much of the environment as possible.

Photoshoot 2: For the outside photoshoot I would like to take some photos in a cloudy environment of someone doing their job.

Photoshoot 3: For the two or more people shoot I will ask my friend if I can photograph her and her brother outside from either a canted angle or a lower angle to create a more dimensional photograph.
