Typology Photoshoot Plan

What? – I have a range of ideas that I could photograph:

  • Victorian front doors
  • Historical landmarks/ towers
  • Old/ Victorian houses
  • Road signs
  • Petrol stations
  • Graffiti

When? – for all of them I would photograph in the day, and make sure it is a plain sky/ light so my subject is the main focal point (using Bernd and Hilla Becher’s technique). If I were to photograph petrol stations I would do the shoot at night because I want to photograph the lights and create a dramatic set of images.

Where? – for doors and houses I might choose town as there are a lot of old buildings and houses. If I take the landmarks I will travel around the Island and capture the different towers.

How? – I’ll use my DLSR camera, and probably use the Tv/A setting so I can adjust the light and if necessary do some different exposure bracketing. For a night shoot I would use a tripod so my images are sharp as I would need to use a long shutter to fully capture the light. For this I would use shutter priority.
