Plans for the shoot...
I am going to be looking at the issue of teenage pregnancy in today's shoot. I don't want to represent the shoot by showing an actual pregnant teen, but instead look at it from a slightly different angle. I am planning on getting a model that I am going to write some of the statistics of teen pregnancies on her stomach. I want the photo to end up looking very simple with the focus being on the stomach with the statics on written on it.
What I am hoping to achieve...
In today's shoot I am hoping to get a shot that gets across the message that I am trying to highlight. I don't want there to but much else, if anything in the photo, so I am liking going to be cropping the final photo down as much as I can. I also would like the photo to be desaturated a lot or in black and white as I think this brings out different emotions and gives different feel to the photo.
What I actually achieved...
Here is one of the shots from today's shoot - I didn't get much variation in today's shoot as it was so simple, but I am happy with the shots that I did get.
I love the positioning of the photo and the feel it has given off. I like the effect that the desaturation of the photo has given off too - I think it changed the overall feel and message of the photo. Though there is no eye contact from a subject present in this photo there is still full focus on the subjects stomach as the cropping is so tight.
I think looking back a the shoot I could have tried to add some more complexity to the shoot to get some more varied shots.
What I am going to do next...
I liked the simplicity of the shoot that I did today - I have definitely realised in today's shoot that I don't need to over complicate things to get a good photo. I still think though that I am going into shoots with the mind set of knowing what I want and this distracts from me experimenting and getting more variation in my shots and being able to get a get unplanned photo. This is something that I want to continue to work on in my next and future shoots,
