Work Diary- Shoot 9

Evaluation

In this shoot I aimed to use different angles of the object but also focus on the background by incorporating both of these elements in the photograph. I went to a location where there are a range of different buildings and scenes I could use within the background. The weather in todays shoot was quite sunny so there was a clear sky and the light allowed for reflections to be present within the object and also enhance the idea of form.

I like this particular photograph because of the clear blue sky and the fact that there is a building within the distance across the river. Although there is a slight blur to the object in the foreground, the background is clear. To improve this photograph I would make the building within the background more central of the frame. Within this photo there are a few formal elements shown including colour, contrast, reflection and form.

This is another photograph from this shoot and this one does show a different angle whilst incorporating a background too. The brick wall background adds texture to the photo but it also gives evidence of age as there is a lot of moss and eroded bits throughout the wall. Within the bottle there is a reflection of the opposite location to where the photograph was taken; it is of a building but because of the shape of the bottle it is distorted.

Progression

From this shoot I have found that different angles add different elements to the overall finish of the photograph, for example form and reflection which is not always present when using more straight forward angles. I will definitely keep on looking at the backgrounds used within the photograph but will consider to use a different object to see what effect it has on the frame. In my next shoot I think it would be quite interesting to look at taking photos with the a few of the same object. I will set up some of the exact same object in different ways to see what effect it has on the photo.
