Shoot 7 Dismal Work Record

Plans

For this shoot I plan to demonstrate photographs with the element of sadness. The way I want to do this is have neutral faces mostly and let the viewer decide themselves on how the picture speaks to them. I would like to work with black and white, maybe selective colour.

What I hope to achieve: 

I hope that I can achieve a wide range of photographs with different representations of sadness. If presented the opportunity I would like to show sadness with animate objects too. I aim to use a variety of models and use of different locations.

What I actually achieved

I managed to achieve a range of photographs, ranging the model also. I used black and white effects to emphasise the emotions of the person. I decided to play around with selective colour a little bit which enabled me to highlight certain aspects.

To take this photograph I had get the model to kneel down so i could capture  from a birds eye view, although it does look like its straight ahead. There is a slight tear coming from the corner o he eye, as tears are clear I could not selectively colour it, so I coloured the eye instead. Usually her res are a woods brown, however I changed them to a deep brown with speck of green and a blue light in the corner of her eye. The blue is a representative colour of being sad.

In this photograph, I had the model just look down and contemplate things. The reason i did this was  so that she looks dan but not necessarily crying. I think the range f typed of sanded I captured is good because all people express their sadness in different ways. Some cry, some do nothing, some leave everything behind.

What I will do next time/Progression

If I were to redo this shoot I would like to incorporate objects and props. I would also like to use different locations e.g. bedroom, outside ext.. Further more I would like to get a representation of different ages.
