Shoot 8 Longing Work Record

Plans

In this shoot I hope to achieve photos that demonstrate longing. I would like to use both models and objects in oder to do this. I will mostly like to edit in black and white, with some lighting and negative space. I think the negative space shows what you want, but can't have; if they can't se their way there, they cannot get there.

What I hope to achieve: 

I hope to achieve a variety of objects and humans. I would like to get hat people count on, what emotions they display. I hope to be able to use a camera effect called Bokeh. This is where your subjects lights, but you defocus slightly creating circle around the light.

What I actually achieved

I managed to get some photos of inspirations from artist I researched, I also managed to get arrange and use the bokeh effect. I managed to get a few successful ones, and in my opinion one shat represent longing. However, some of ten you would only understand with explanations.

I really like this photo because of the way you cannot see the models facial features. You can see the silhouette of her facial features and body but here is no detail. The most clear bit is the mist and water on the glass door. The reason for this photograph was because to me,  the water represents thunderstorm. This thunderstorm is surrounding her, trapping her, blurring her vision. The model longs to be out of it, to have her vision back. The reason I used a black and white effect was so that it emphasises the storms grey clouds.

This photograph, may not look like it belongs in longing, however,  my  goal was to show how people do not like to stay in one place. The black poster is actually a map, with fairy lights around. The map represents how people long to travel the world. They do to want to stay in on place. They torture themselves by having it up on their walls. The lights  represent the way people wish to be in the spotlight, everybody wants to be noticed. I manipulated the colour of theslights by turning them blue as blue represents being down, in sense, when you long for something, you're sad; you're not happy with what you have.

What I will do next time/Progression

If I were to do this shoot again I would like to make the photos easier for people to recognise but again have an underlying meaning.
