Location Movement - Work Diary

In this session I tried to recreate my previous shoot but in a location setting. I used mostly doors as the background of my shoot, I believe this worked well but I do prefer the shoot I did in the studio because it showed off movement and the creative use of light. The colours used in this shoot were very bright and bold which made the photographs stand out more.

I really like this photograph because of the way the subjects hands are shown, in this photograph his hands are far less blurry which creates a better effect. The contrast between the background and the subject makes this photograph stand out. Although, if I were to improve this photograph I would make the lines in the background more straight.

My favourite thing about this photograph is the contrast between the background and the subject of this image because it makes the photograph stand out. I also really enjoy the way the face us very blurry whilst the subjects hand and rest of body is clear. If I were to improve this photograph I would make sure there wasn't a reflection in the background.

In the next session, I will expand on the idea of movement and the creative use of light by attempting to do some motion blur photography. I will do this shoot in a location setting and I will do it by setting the shutter speed to a longer setting and I will go out and move the camera. In all my movement photography so far, it has been the subject that has been moved but in this shoot I will move the camera instead.

In this session, I went in to the studio and shot movement. I found this task quite easy because it was simple to set the camera up and to take the photographs. To do this shoot, I set the camera's shutter speed to be longer and I asked people to shake their heads. The photographs are very effective because they show off movement really well and I really like the contrast between the blurry faces and the clear rest off body. I believe this shoot shows off the creative use of light through the use of contrast between the black background and the subjects of my images.

I really like this photograph because movement is shown well. It shows off the creative use of light through the background and the subject and also through the use of movement. I think that the colour contrast also makes this photograph creative because you can clearly see the subject of the photograph because of the black background.

This is my favourite photograph from the shoot because of the way the subject is using his hands. The contrast of colours is also done very well, because the subject is wearing a black jacket which is camouflaged with the black background, it gives the illusion of floating hands which looks really unique and creative. Although, if I were to improve this image, I would try and make the subjects hand less blurred.

In the next session, I will try and recreate this shoot but in a location setting. I will have to do this shoot inside because of the shutter speed settings, but I believe this idea will also look good on other backgrounds.

Movement is a good way to show off the creative use of light. In the photographs above there is a good use of contrast between the subject and the background. The use of movement is very effective also, as it is creates shadows and blurs which is a key element to show of the creative use of light. In my opinion, these photographs look a lot better in black and white because it shows of contrast better.
