To do this shoot, I used a Canon 5d Mark II (24-105mm lens).
What I like about these images is the fact that they're so simple but still look effortlessly-good.
What I believe that could be improved is the way I've taken the photos. By this I mean I should of taken my time and not rushed with the way I angled the camera. As you can see above, there is a lot of 'negative' space around the model which isn't necessary and just makes the photos look inadequate. Also, the lighting and the focus could be improved and what I mean by this is that as you can see on all the photos, there is a slight yellow undertone on the edges of them. To improve this, I would of added an extra few lights to brighten the background.
What I plan on doing differently next week for my next shoot would be changing my first idea completely different. By this I mean, a change of background and doing something with a more slighter edge.
For my second shoot, I used the same camera which was a Canon 5d Mark II (24-105mm lens). I changed the white background to grey. I changed the positions of model completely different with more edger poses. I used less lighting than I did in the first shoot as I wanted my second to have more of a 'dramatic' kind of look so I also got the model to use a dark, red lipstick to give the shoot that greater 'edge' with dramatic shadows to compliment the model well.
By doing these shoots at Uclan, it's not just made me a more of a developed, experienced photographer but it's made me look and reach further into what photography is all about. It's not all about of just taking a photo and saying it's done. It's about thinking first, capturing and reviewing on what give you this idea and what was the final outcome and did it turned out the way it was planned.
