Session 5: Shooting in Sheperd’s Bush market

26/01/23

This shoot was a turning point for me in terms of my confidence in my work. I was definitely enjoying the shoots I had been doing previously but did fell like they where really what I was looking for. This shoot, on the contrary, felt much better and I can see more of my potential being seen in the final outcomes. I think that what helped is working in the street and in a new environment. Since we had been working in the college campus for most of the previous shoots I was not very inspired at all. Being outside made me realise how important it is to find new locations and ways to tell a story.

Planning the styling: These are some options I looked at before choosing the final one

Going into different shops and corners to see how it would fit with the styling I had done.

In this shoot I started to realise how important it is to give movement to the images.
