In the shoot I just did, I wanted to create an image like what was in my previous progression. This involved me taking a picture of somebody, and writing their name behind them. I feel like my shoot was successful, as I did exactly what I put out to do. I went into the studio and set up a stall so that all of the people that I imaged where in the same place. I also put the studio camera on a tripod, and ensured that it didn't move throughout the shoot. It took several attempts when I began writing behind them. First of all, the flash went off and took the picture of the person, then the shutter speed was kept open for a round 20 seconds in which I had to run behind the person and write their name back to front. This was a struggle at the beginning of the shoot as it meant that I wasn't sure where to write the name and where it would appear in the frame. The first image I took of Josh took me 6 attempts to do it as I needed to keep changing the shutter speed to ensure I had enough time to write his name and get the composition right. After this, I edited the images on photoshop to enhance the colours of what I had done. The last image was the final one I did with the first two exhibiting the attempts which did not work very well.
Progression
Carrying on from the light writing shoot, I want to experiment with colour and how it can affect the mood of the image. One image that I have seen on the image and what I aspire for my work to look like is the following which shows glow sticks in bottles of water. I like this idea as it will use bright colours and I can make a multiple imagery or several images of the different colours together in the studio.
