For my second photoshoot I was in friends cars taking photos, on this night in particular the car was parked outside of a bar with neon signs and lighting creating interesting colours.
Many of my images from this photoshoot were overexposed and blurry, it was difficult to capture images in the lighting in the car as it was dark and raining inside with the mix of trying to capture the lighting and the subject with equal light balance so the colours of the neon lighting would be prevalent.
MY BEST IMAGES FROM THIS SHOOT
I really like the image above as it reminds me of Claudia Andujar’s set works “They’re Looking For Peace” due to the natural emotions captured- the lighting is also very rich and vibrant. Colour theory is also be apparent in these images with reds and oranges being the colours of passion and excitement while my subject has an excited facial expression.
This is also one of my best images due to the way the lighting frames the subject, almost like a spotlight spilling down. This image was taken outside of the car so the subject also looks a bit blurry due to the rain on the windscreen. I do not think I will use this image as a final piece due to the blurring the rain introduced- making the image look less than cinematic.
I really like the lighting in this image above as the condensation on the windows makes a colour gradient of the lighting outside, with the red being the subject creating a silhouette of the subject. Like the image prior to this one, I probably will not be using this image mainly because the subject is very dark and when editing turning up the exposure would damage the look of the lights and colours in the background, making the background overexposed.
