In this Photoshoot I explored the movement of water at the beach, focusing on how it constantly shifts and changes. I looked at composition, using the flow of the waves and the patterns in the water to create dynamic images. Perspective and scale were important in showing the contrast between the vastness of the sea and the smaller details, like the way water moves around rocks.  

Light played a key role in my images, as I captured how it affected the colours, shadows, and tonal value of the water throughout my images. I also focused on texture capturing the the smooth and rough parts of the water. This photoshoot allowed me to explore the way water interacts with its surroundings, creating images that capture the movement of the water.

Long Exposure

Some of my long exposure images turned out like this one (blurred) but I quite like how the misty water erupts over the rocks, it creates a sense of eeriness but in a way it’s also peaceful.

Short Exposure

I took images of the same flow of water with a short exposure to contrast the long exposure images. Which allowed me present the movement of water in different ways.

I positioned the camera down low, pointing upwards towards the waterfall so the rocks are in focus which captures how the water bubbles and moves around them.

Editing Before and After

Here I adjusted the contrast, shadows, highlights and dehaze in order to dramatize the movement of the water.

Final Images- Presented in Art Steps

I chose these 3 Images as they include both long and short exposure and they are taken from various perspectives which represent my aim for this photoshoot, which was to explore the movement of water.
