Session 4: Using props

20/01/23

I was not very confident during this session because I didn’t feel inspired at all, I though that the umbrellas I brought as objects would not look very interesting. This sometimes happens to me during shoots but what I do is try to find something to focus on and make the main element of the photos. In this case I focused making the yellow coat could stand out which is why I made it appear clearly in each image and worked with colours like green that would complement it. An other example is working in the studio and focusing on the lighting, since we had a dark background it was vey fun to experiment with the way the contrast between the light and dark portrayed the model in a very intriguing way. Almost as if she is hiding something. 

Using more than one prop to see how they worked together:

Looked at more props as well as different background colour:

Decided to focus on the Off-white shirt:

Played around with darker tones and lighting:

Edited in black and white to focus on the light:

Experimented with colour in the editing:
