Personal shoot 4 - Work diary

Personal shoot 4 - Work diary:

For this shoot i decided to move to looking at the style of products and packaging. This shoot was completely studio based and i used studio lights to focus on my products. The aim for this shoot was to show the different styles of packaging that you can come across. This shoot also progressed slightly into looking at advertising as some of my images look as if they could be advertising that product. I kept my editing simple for this shoot just sharpening one of the images slightly and making sure that the lighting was as i wanted it. 

Progression:

I think that this shoot examples the beginning of a technique that i could advance further. While the overall technique is quite simple i think that if i take more time with my set up and advance my lighting slightly the whole shoot could improve. I think that with better lighting and setup the whole shoot could change and appear more professional. Therefore i am going to do a re-shoot, while i am happy with this shoot, the purpose of the re-shoot is to advance my technique and show some development with my shooting skills. 

The image above is an example of my work from this shoot. I like this image as i like the set up of the brushes and the way that they alternate colours. However i think that the composition of this image is slightly slanted making the image look off. I also think that the brushes themselves could have been better lit. The line across the middle of the frame should have also been considered when taking the photograph. If i was to shoot this image again i would take all of this into consideration to improve my work.

This image is another example of mine from this shoot. Personally I like the composition of the photograph. I like the use of depth as i think it adds something more to the photograph but you are still able to focus on the eyeshadows themselves. However i think that the lighting in this photograph is off as some of the colours in the eyeshadow palette look over exposed and to bright while others are not as clear.
