Different lighting used –

For this photoshoot which was carried out in the photography studio, we experimented with using still light for this photoshoot on a infinity curve background. This was helpful when creating the pictures because it was a plain white background which made the different objects we used stand out, as well as successfully illuminating the pictures into different colours when using gel sheets which I really liked.

We also experimented with flash head photography in the studio. This type of photography consists of using a larger infinity curve background to provide a plain background but instead of using one continuous still light as seen above, you use either one or more flash heads. These flash heads sync up with your camera when taking a picture and this is good for taking close up images or groups of photos, I also enjoyed experimenting with this type of photography too.

Contact sheets –

In Lightroom, I used the colours to help organise my contact sheets. I used the yellow for my photos which I thought were successful to an extent but I still wasn’t happy with. Then for the photos which I thought were successful which I could use further to edit and use in my experiments of sculptures further on.

These 5 images are photos which I have decided to use and produce sculptures out of alongside the joiners which I have created. I really liked these pictures because the 3 photos of shells creates a set of pictures which I can manipulate and combine together and I turned them into black and white because they were on a dark coloured background and the white of the shells creates a distinct contrast which makes them stand out well as well as having different shades of grey and black in it. For the 2 photos on the bottom, I created a mini set of 2 which I think work quite well together as they are similar in how they look and the background is the same which I can use to make some creative outcomes further along.
