Selection process:

In Lightroom, I went through each image and flagged the ones which I liked and want to edit, which filters them down and helps separate these images from the rest.

photo shoots one:

My first photo shoot is based on Justine Kurland’s image ‘Bathroom, 1977’, I took photos of girls getting ready for a night out. I positioned my model in front of mirrors to try and create an idea of not knowing that the camera is there and so its almost from the models perspective and point of view. This was taken place in the evening, therefore I had to use artificial lighting.

Photoshoot two:

Photoshoot two is inspired by Michelle Sank, I took my model to Red House Precinct, and staged her in basic positions similar to Michelle Sank’s images. This was taken on a quite dull day which made the natural lighting perfect as the sun was not reflecting off of anything.

Photoshoot three, four & five:

The next photoshoots had no particular inspiration. This took place at a small house party and captures youth in a fun and creative light. These were all taken in the evening, therefore, there was no natural lighting so they were taken with artificial lighting. They were taken after a night out and wanted to make the images as authentic as possible so I tried to capture moments in which the subjects were not paying attention to the camera.

After editing all of my flagged images, I then proceeded to colour code my best images from each photo shoot to keep everything together and make it easier when picking my final images.
