Personal Shoot 10 - Work diary:

For my 10th shoot i started my documentary project. The aim for these shoots is to show different people with their beauty products, applying them and seeing what they use. This shoot is the only shoot in which i explore the male side to 'beauty'. For this I photographed my younger brothers products and him getting ready for school. This shows a different side to beauty as it is exploring the male aspect, something that i decided to not explore to throughly in my project. 

Progression:

The style of photography for this shoot was kept very simple. The only settings that were changed was the aperture, exposure and the ISO. By changing these settings I was left with images that used the appropriate amount of lighting, the best shutter speed, and a clear focus. As a whole I'm happy with the images that were produced as I think that the aim of the shoot was made clear. For the next aspect of this project I will focus on my own personal belongings and show this in my next shoot. 

This first image is an example of the products that my younger brother uses. The image shows the contrast in the amount as well as different types of products that are commonly used by boys and girls. The composition of this image works quite well as all of the items have a clear space and you can see the name and brand of each of them.

This second image is my favourite from the shoot. The composition of this image is more creative, as the image being taking from a low down angle adds a interesting aspect of depth to the image. The use of tone here also makes the image look more subtle. The reflection in the mirror is again a interesting angle for the image as your not looking at the subject directly but the their mirrored reflection. Also the fact that you can't see the whole face helps to make the composition more interesting.
