Shoot 9 Laughter Work Records

10/03/2016

Plans 

In this shoot ( Laughter) I am planning on shooting my model to be laughing naturally. I don't want to pose it too much, rather more fly on the wall photographs. I would like to use different locations but not too varied.

I plan to have photos of her mid dancing and laughing/being silly. Natural things that people do whilst 'nobody is watching'.

What I hope to achieve: 

I hope to achieve 5 different photographs that really scream Happiness and Laughter. It'd be nice to get ones that look very natural.

What I actually achieved:

In shoot 2 I decided on doing the theme of Laughter. I chose this as it is a well suited one from shoot 1. I think Laughter comes from the person rather than the lighting. I can come from props too.
I mostly used just the girl to pose and make her laugh rather than using lot of props. i did find it hard to make her laugh under pressure but luckily we had  good connection so the atmosphere was light making us both laugh either way.

Here is a photo I liked:

I really like this photo because of the way she has her eyes closed and her mouth forms a imperfect skill. It looks real and genuine (which it is). Her hair is slightly tussled signalising the movement of laughter. I edited the background to black and white so that her face is the main focus. This girl is clearly very beautiful, capturing your attentions straight away.

What I will do next time/Progression

However, I did not like this photo as much:

The reason i did not like this photo as much was because of the blurriness. It is out of focus and slightly over exposed. I also did not like the angle taken.

If I were to do this shoot again, I would experiment more with different settings, Lighting and props. I used a few props but I would like to use more especially ors that signify laughter. I would also like to experiment with another model to represent laughter within a friendship.
Next shoot I hope to be able use a wider range of angles and use different editing techniques.
