Comments
Positioning for shots 1&14, 6&13 and 7&12 will be critical for matching up. Same focal point, distance from lens and lighting.

The model may choose to start in business dress and then move to traditional dress so the order of shots will need to be flexible (considerations of make-up etc). I could ask in advance of course, however, its part of my plan to help the model feel comfortable on the day by involving her in the shoot. Naturally, I'll be taking advice from her as regards to the 'poses' to be adopted. The model is a passionate member of 'Women In Logistics' and as such is 'surrogate client'.

  1. Hi
    This shoot as with all shoots should be born from the influence of other photographers, you identify what you like and deconstruct the images into formal elements, ie use of perspective or shape sand add this element to your own work. Then you reflect back on how well you did by comparing your work with theirs to see how well you did and reflect on this in a piece of writing.
    All the time with your eyes fixed on meeting criteria!

  2. Hi
    The blog entry 4.1.2 clearly meets this criteria and shows planning and preparation of the whole shoot.
