Identity Photo-shoots

For my Photoshoot I aimed to follow closely to the style of Clare Rae’s photography, In Clare Rae’s photos (The Entre Nous Collection) You can see that she often balances herself and presents herself in weird ways. whether is standing, climbing on rocks or positioning herself in a way where her full body is not always seen in the picture which was done to unsettle the traditional representation of the female figure. To achieve those same results I tried to get my subject to pose herself looking away and hiding some of her figure next to the rocks and old buildings that were around us. As a result it ended up creating a good series of images which looked very appealing to look at. Using a different landscape every 20 to 25 photos I took and posing differently each time made these photos look more appealing and different to each other. The different structures such as the inner rock arch, the giant rock near the edge of the cliff or the old remains of what used to be a building, All of it helped to compliment the subject with the background and build a connection between the subjects figure and the place it was taken at which was one of Clare Rae’s aim when taking her series of photos.

For my photoshoot I took about 200 Photos to ensure that I would have a few good pictures to choose from and edit my final ideas into them. Most of the images taken I felt did not meet my expectations of what I was looking for, however there was a good amount of photos that did meet my expectations and may be used for my final images.

My Top Choices

I have chosen these images as my top choices because they all utilise different poses and environments which makes them unique to each other, they also all have potential to look better and more effective and eye catching when edited as I will be able to crop what I want in view and highlight certain details by making the image black and white or by adjusting certain settings such as contrast or highlights which will help bring out more detail in the image. With Clare Rae as my artist reference these photos are going to be mostly inspired from her hence why I have tried to get the landscape in clear view along with my subject posing in different and unique positions.
