Reflections

Well here I am again, new blog post and it's the first day off from work for what seems ages. I have just sent in my prints for assignment 4 'Applying lighting techniques' and contemplating Part 5 'Narrative and illustration'. I feel under pressure as time is running short to complete this module by May and with such little time spare from my work at Skyhook Studios in Stroud I need to make haste...
I have decided to make things slightly easier for myself in that I have opportunity through my work to do photography so rather than try and carve out separate time to do the course I need to apply and combine as much as I can with my workday activity. This does mean that much of my photography is going to have an element of music/musician basis. Rather than struggle I need to embrace that....

Here is the blog I do for my work at Skyhook Studios as a background to this and I do try and make it visual through use of photo's as far as possible;


My recent submission for Assignment 4 reflects this and here are some of the other photo's from the photo shoots I set up to do this. My subject was Stroud musician 'Cas Frazer' who is currently involved with music projects at Skyhook Studios. I will upload my submitted work for assignment 4 shortly.

I used low level lighting with a blue 'lighting gel' to contrast with the guitars Red

Low level light against black curtain







Against a white background with over-head and side lighting

Overhead lighting strongly onto background for a 'stage' look

Natural light from one side in a high contrast composition


Natural daylight from sides with subject in front of a colourful  background
of similar colour to Subjects tie for an 'earthy' natural look


Another high contrast shot with single sided lighting.

Evening sunlight to cast strong shadows


So here's on to Narrative...........
