First shoot of moving portrait

For my moving portrait, I wanted it to be similar to the videos I researched where the subject in front of the camera is looking at the camera. I like the personal feel to it and it also makes it weird as it feels as though you, the viewer, is the camera.

Here is one of the examples of my moving portraits:

( Will not let me post as the files are too big)

I initially thought they went well as the lighting looked great on my camera. I did not discover, however, that the backdrop is far too lit and that I should not have used the soft boxes. I have since learned that I need to use the LED lights in the studio. Another idea I have had is to video several different people all eating the same sweet shown in the video of Tessa above. If they all start at the same time, it might be interesting to see who reacts first and how their reactions differ.

Flame Scallop

Today I was so impressed – I was watching the One Show and they were playing a VT on scuba diving and they were looking at new creatures in the ocean and one of them was this:

It is called a flame scallop!

Notice any resemblances to something else?

I am so excited that there is an actual sea creature that looks like a creature I created in my photography so I thought I would share it!

Christmas Hats

For my typology, I have decided to photograph as many people as I can wearing Christmas hats. I think I will probably just take the photo of the hats and top of people’s heads to show that it does not matter who is wearing it and how everyone is united in the winter with their Christmas hats. As this is the autumn/winter term of uni, I wanted to try and include something seasonal in my work. I also thought it is fitting as Lincoln is a cold, windy place and so a wooly hat sums it up quite well.

Pinterest Typologies

Instead of finding an individual photographer, I thought I would just have a look at some typologies that I like on Pinterest:

  • I like how this is black and white – it is a classification of lip shape instead of colour of anything else
  • The lips are all relatively central
  • The fact there is 15 different photos means there is quite a few to compare

  • I love the simplicity of this
  • The black and white works well
  • The trees tend to be in an order of shorter – taller – shorter
  • There is a lot of white space around the trees

  • Simple but works well
  • I like the large variety of colours
  • Same hanger makes it look better
  • All central

  • The mountain itself is not very exciting but the various shades of colour are
  • Colours compliment each other
  • Mountains are at bottom of photo – perhaps indicating the sky is the important part

  • Lots of umbrellas makes this pleasing to the eye
  • Large variety of colours looks good
  • All central
  • Taken from above – best angle for umbrellas
  • Something I could attempt?
