Personal Study: Photoshoot Plan #1

For my initial photoshoot in my personal study, I plan to go out during the night and create a night-time photoshoot mainly inspired by the work of Pierre Putman. Taking inspiration from his creative use of artificial light and weather to create a moody setting, I will explore areas in St Helier and La Collette in the evening where it is dark however it is lit up and illuminated by street lamps, neon signs and other different light sources. La Collette is an industrial area, meaning that the background of my images will be industrial, I can take advantage of this as La Collette being mainly industrial it has perfect mix of light and shadow. My goal is to capture the setting with a cinematic, dream-like feeling the night offers, focusing on isolated, quiet areas to get the theme of mystery, loneliness and reflection just like Pierre Putman`s style of photography. The aim for this photoshoot is to get images almost replicating the collection of images below.
