Mindmap –

This is the mind map which I have constructed of initial ideas which I can use to refer to when gathering ideas for photoshoots and photographers for my personal study. In my mind map, my ideas range from weather in the countryside and woodlands areas to photos being taken in town of different weather conditions and movement of people/Christmas lights. This is because I want to experiment with both ideas beforehand to help me decide on a main focus fort my personal study whether it be in town or the woodland/countryside areas. In my photoshoots, I want to consider focusing on different textures in trees, fungi, leaves, rocks, water, etc when in woodland areas because there is a range of different textures which can be found. Whereas when I am in town, I will focus on reflections in puddles/windows, mo9vement of people and experimenting with the bokeh effect on Christmas lights and other lights around town. I have referenced a range of photographers in my work who all have experienced with these topics within their work which I can use later on to reference when considering what to do for my photoshoots.

Mood board –

This is the mood board which I have created in response to my mind-map to showcase my ideas of what I want to achieve in the end for my personal study. I liked photos which experimented with different weather conditions in a variety of locations, amounts of people to create movement in the photos in different locations because I think that these factors can transform the composition of a photograph entirely as there is a shift in the focus of the subject in the photo. This mood board incorporates photos from the photos which I have briefly mentioned in my mind-map who I want to do a deeper analysis on of their work to decide who’s work I prefer more and want to use as inspiration for my own photoshoots, while also experimenting with different filters such as black and white, gloomy dim atmospheres which drain the colours in the photos or dark locations that are brought to life trough the colours being brightened in photoshop to create different hues on the walls and floors which is reflected in the rain.
