Shoot 6
This shoot was a reshoot of two people who I wanted to include in my final edit of images. The two subjects are white males who are of a similar age, who have just become men.
I stuck with my usual shooting method for consistency; 3 ft away, metz flash at 1/4 of the full flash, f16 and a shutter speed of 125/1.
I chose two different locations, one was with a red wall, however because of the distance from the subject and the wall it's hard to see. The other was taken in the same room as the images from Shoot 5, which I feels adds continuity.
I took multiple pictures of each of the subjects because I wanted the focus to be right in at least one fo them; the reason for reshooting one of them is because I hadn't got them in focus on the first time.
For this image, I had to dodge his jumper because there was hardly a seam between it and the background. On the actual print, there's more of a contrast now i've dodged it.
I was happy to get this image perfectly in focus, and also with good framing. The headspace amount is what I wanted for a comfortable viewing, and he has neutral facial expressions to show him as he is. Surprisingly, the more or less background doesn't look too off putting for me as there are a fair amount of dark tones to compliment this (hair and eyes) while his skin contrasts greatly. The most important part of the image is the subject.
The large logo on his sweatshirt stands out against the black; and perhaps shows brand loyalty from the man. Unfortunately, like the other images you cannot see his shadow.
This image bears a resemblance to the other photos of men of his age. The neutral browns in the background, the posture and facial expressions remain the same.
I decided to reshoot this subject because I first took his photograph when I was unsure on the meaning behind my project, and he was against a blank door and didn't have the same depth that I would like.
I much prefer this image. I feel that the background connects it to the others I have taken, and the green jumper is much more uniform to the project; all of the men are wearing jumpers. The green compliments the natural tones behind him, as well as his complexion.
He's very clearly in a kitchen, as shown by the cupboards and rolls of kitchen materials behind him. This gives the image a warmer look, much like the images taken previously.
This image looks far less defensive than the other image of him, and more approachable, which I personally prefer because it helps form a connection between him and the viewer.
