Personal shoot 5 - Work diary

Personal shoot 5 - Work diary:

For my fifth shoot i decided to do a re-shoot of my previous shoot. I was once again in the studio this time with a better background and better lighting. The overall aim for this shoot was to make my images look sharper and cleaner. I wanted to show an improvement in my work so for this reason i used a technique commonly used for still life, i used a lighting table to focus more directly on each of the products that i was photographing. 

Progression:

I think that this shoot achieved exactly what i want to do. This shoot came out looking better lit and more professional. Some of these images appear as if the could be used for advertising purposes due to the way that they were edited. For some of my images i changed the saturation or used tone to give a different effect to the image. I think that this worked well and evidences a development in both my techniques and my project itself. 

This is an example of my work from my re-shoot. This image is similar to one that i did in the first shoot, however this is is better composed and better lit. In this image the shadows are more apparent making the photograph more interesting. I also changed the saturation of the image making it appear darker but not black and white. I think that this makes the image look more interesting and more intriguing. 

This is another example of my work from my re-shoot. Here i arranged all of the makeup products coming out of the makeup bag and made them look as if they were spilling out. I think that this is an interesting concept as it changes the way that you can look at someones makeup items. The style here is the style of the makeup that is coming out of the makeup bag. It could also be the style of photography for the whole shoot as it is beginning to look like advertisements. For the editing of this image i again lowered the saturation however this time i didn't make it as dramatic and just created a light shadow with some muted colours.
