Day 1-
More research
Day 2-
Today I had a chat with one of the tutors about my ideas;
it was very helpful and enabled me to take my idea a bit further than it was
before.
I had just discovered the artist Brooke Shaden and had
fallen in love with her way of thinking so I listened to some lectures by her
discussing the topic of creativity.
Photoshoot
The photoshoot went well, Luke was very cooperative with
the whole standing-in-freezing-water thing and because I had done sketches
beforehand I nailed the angles and got all shots I needed in not too much time.
I made sure to dry Luke off and clean him up afterwards,
we then went back to my house and had coffee to warm up
Editing
I pulled an all-nighter to finish editing the image, this
was probably the most complicated edit I have done so far.
During the editing process I came into a few problems
with the posing; Luke’s legs were open when he stood in the water but his tied
up legs were closed and his t-shirt was not correctly obeying gravity. I
managed to overcome these problems using clone stamping and liquefy- but I must
look out in future for little inconsistencies between the shots I get in order
to save me time in post.
Day 3-
I am very pleased with the outcome of this image; it’s
probably the first piece of work that I’ve been thoroughly excited about in my
photography so far.
The response was very good in my final crit; everyone seemed
very interested in what was going on in the image and Tom’s response was to
stick with my current attitude of pushing myself further each time. I also got
asked by Tom to use the image in the course as an exemplar piece of work!
I got a very good response on Facebook later from my
friends, seems like I’m on the right track!
