Controlled Photography
For this controlled photoshoot, we mainly shot interior photographs as the limitation was the heavy rain outside. However, this opened up opportunities for us to take reflection photos with puddles and droplets of rain.
The original, unaltered image was shot to create a mirrored reflection with a split screen effect. However, the subject was not centrally framed and so the reflection is not equal. When editing, I cropped the image and removed any distractions from the background. I used ISO 800 when shooting indoors and F Stop 3.5. It helped to produce a more even exposure with a detailed background for the raindrops on the window, alongside the 'daylight' white balance feature. I added a filter to enhance the blue colours when editing. The reflection of the face might have been improved by re-positioning the subject.
I took this shot to create a dramatic symmetrical image. I tried to show a bold contrast between light and dark by adjusting the settings. The ISO was 800 and I used ‘tungsten light’ white balance which added a warm effect to the tiles. When editing I enhanced the silhouette and the white light coming from the background. This created a bolder image.
Emilia shot a semi-silhouette of myself highlighting the interior and wet reflective exterior. There is sufficient natural light which illuminates the subject's edges. The pose is effective, although would be better with background thrown out of focus by utilising the depth of field. This photo was shot vertically and at a low angle to capture the full subject. For this photo Emilia used ISO 400 and F Stop 4.5.
I love how the artificial lighting from the building in the background are reflective on the wet ground.
This photograph was shot to create a reflection of Emilia. I aimed for natural light to fall on the subject's full face. However, there were many limitations as it is slightly out of focus. For example, the light coming through the window was too bright and therefore didn't create a detailed refection. To combat this, I changed the settings on the camera to F stop 4.2 and ISO 800. We took another shot with 'fluorescent' light which created a better focus and refection. The pose in the first picture was more effective. I used the 'tungsten' white balance feature in the first image.
This photograph was shot by Emilia to highlight the warm light in the background. Emilia used the 'shade' white balance filter to capture the warmth of the light effectively. ISO 100 was used to capture a soft focus and the detail in the subject. The blocking shot of myself behind the wall is effective in creating a foreground focus. This shot has a basement look and a grungy style.
In this final shot I aimed to create the illusion of a long corridor and wide shot by placing the camera at a high angle at the height of the low ceiling. This captures the artificial lighting and the parallel walls create interest. It would look better, however, if the picture was cropped where the hallway begins adding to the depth. I used ISO 100 and 'Shade' white balance to create a shadowy effect. Emilia is positioned slightly off centre to accentuate the length of the corridor.
