Second Shoot

Second Shoot

For my second shoot I kept the same idea for my theme, however I was more aware of how I wanted the photos to turn out and the poses I wanted the model to do, I still didn't get a chance to use the UV paint just because of the short time frame we each had, it was slightly rushed so I was more concerned about her outfit and the facial expressions than the UV paint. I kept the outfit the same but changed the glasses to some smaller frames and I asked Sarah-Alyce to appear really happy, there was the odd few where she pouted and had a more serious facial expression but overall she did what I asked and I think the results were really good and much better than what I achieved from the first weeks shoot. Overall I think the second shoot was much better as I was aware of what I was trying to achieve and this made it easier with the small time slot I had because I didn't have to struggle trying to think of ideas. I also prefer the background in the second weeks photographs, although it was the same color for both it looks much better and lighter in the second weeks shoot. This wasn't done purposely, however i'm glad it happened.

These are a few of my photographs from the second shoot, as you can see I brought in the same outfit for her but changed the sunglasses and added a festival lanyard. I think the background looks much better and I really like how the model appears happier than she did in the first lot of photographs. The facial expression is a really big part of the photograph as it gives people the chance to perceive the photo in their own way and have different views and opinions what it's all about. Although she is stood in front of the same background and has the same outfit on in both photographs, her facial expressions are both different and so that gives off two different moods. The photo on the right she looks really happy and content, whereas the photo on the left looks a lot more posed.

I feel like I had more fun with the second shoot as I was more aware of what I wanted to achieve. I didn't have to do much editing once I chose my final image, as the colors and everything was already how I wanted them to be. I just had to crop the photo down so I spent more time choosing my favorite image.

This was my final image and as you can see, the background looks a much nicer shade than in the photos from the first week, I really like the image and Sarah-Alyce is doing everything that I asked her to, which is why I feel I achieved what I wanted to with this photograph, I brought in the same outfit for her to wear and added a V Festival lanyard that I borrowed from my friend and also some different sunglasses as they had a smaller frame and appear more fitted on her face.
