Photoshoot contact sheets

This was the first photoshoot I did, I wanted to create a very feminine photoshoot which showed interests of my group through things such as posters. I conducted this shoot in December on a winters day, the light was quite dark so I did use artificial lighting. I asked my friends to act as if I wasn’t there and to do things which they would normally do.

This shoot I did after a night out, i snapped photos of my friends as they were in conversation to try and attempt an authentic shoot. I decided to take images of this gathering as i feel it was a good representation of teenage life, and gave an authentic inside perspective of a teenager with their friends.

I began using the flag tool to select my favourite images. Doing this, i selected any images which i liked and thought were suitable for my project with a white flag. I then used a black flag to select the images that weren’t suitable or effective e.g blurry images, images where the subject wasn’t in frame and images which i felt didn’t hold much impact.

I then went through with the star tool to narrow them down, 5 stars for yes, 1 star for no. I ruled out which images were my favourite by using the XY feature, this was especially helpful on images that were similar and i needed to chose between the two.
