Photoshoot 1
This is the first photoshoot I did based on Formalism. This one is inspired by Walker Evans and Darren Harvey-Regan. However, some of the photos didn’t turn out with good quality. I also don’t appreciate the lighting and backgrounds so for the second shoot, I used different objects and backgrounds.
Here are a couple of photographs from this shoot that turned out well:
Photoshoot 2
In this photoshoot, I experimented with using different lights and unique objects to create circular shadows on the white paper. I like how these photos turned out and have different shape, patterns and lines from the shadows. For these photos, I used the studio light and positioned it in certain ways to allow the objects to create shadows. For the photographs with just the circle shadows, I put an object which had holes all over it, in front of the light to project circle shadows onto the white paper. I really like how this turned out.
Edited Photo
These are my favourite photo from this shoot, I like how the lighting was manipulated to make the photograph unique and eye catching. I slightly edited this photo by changing the levels and curves through photoshop.
Your photoshoots are becoming more focused responses of your research well done.
Try to use the document setup in the studio to achieve stronger lighting in the style of Walker Evans.
I would remove your music stand photos from this post as they don’t relate as well to your single object photoshoots. You could add your music stand photos to your ‘formalism’ post and then use the formal elements to analyse the photo as it has a lot of shape, repetition, shadows etc.
Next… include a post showing edits of your single object photos.
