Photoshoot One- Identity

I have marked the photos with a colour coding system so the green ones are the ones I like and are good photos where as the red and yellow aren’t as strong or I just don’t think they are what I intended. For this shoot I chose to do self portraits inspired by Kayla Varley’s work of herself with close up angles and unusual composition but strategic focusing. I found while there was a couple of photos I liked there was only one that was what I originally intended to get. (pictured below) I will now go onto look at my work from other shoots and pick the best ones to edit and produce my final outcomes.

This is my strongest photo prior to editing as my eyes are in focus where as my nose is out of focus drawing the attention to my eyes. I also like how the smaller less noticeable details are visible like the freckles scattered across my nose. I like how subtle the glitter ‘tears’ are in this shot but for the next shoot I will definitely try some bolder glitter that stands out better. The framing of the shot is similar to that of Varley’s work with the close crop and close up view of the subjects face.
