Photoshoot plan – 22/10/2021
photoshoot 1 – outside
My first photoshoot is going to be at my stepdads building site. I am going to photography my stepdad Peter who is a digger driver as he works on the construction of the new Augres house. My model will be in the cab of a digger, he will continue to work while I photography him however he will stop the machine in order for me to take the pictures. This will reduce motion blur in the camera. to eliminate blur completely I will use a tripod which will keep the camera completely still. The light will be natural and I will not be introducing any additional lighting as it will get in the way of my models work process which will ruin the natural pictures. If possible the weather will be overcast in order to provide soft lighting. this is because due to the environment my photoshoot is going to take place I think that hard lighting will reflect off the bright paint on the machine which will draw attention away from my model. I intend to take images of my model inside the cab of his machine as well as other machines on his site, as well as images of him outside of the machines.
Photoshoot 2 – inside
For my indoor photoshoot I am going to photograph my grandfather in his lounge. He spends a lot of time in his lounge watching TV and reading the news paper. I will take photographs of him doing both these thing while sat in his chair. For the TV I will photograph him in different positions and moods depending on what he is watching. This photoshoot would be taken during the day as there will be natural light passing through the window.
Photoshoot 3 – multiple models.
For my multiple model photoshoot I am going to have two or three of my friends on a walk on the beach. I would like the weather to be windy but not raining. My models will be wearing thick coats and general winter gear. The wardrobe alongside the wind will make the images very dramatic.
