Personal Shoot No.7 Work Record

For this shoot, i went to Shorditch in order to look at photographing the graffiti which is there to then overlay in Photoshop. Before doing this shoot, i did some research into the best graffiti places  in Shorditch so that i could easily find them rather than wasting time looking for them. Unfortunately when i was shoot, it was raining therefore i feel that my photographs are not as successful as they could have been.

This is one of my photographs from this shoot.  Firstly i wanted to create a depth of field within the photograph by taking it at an angle rather than just photographing the graffiti straight on.  I decided to include a model that would fit in with this environment as this would allow the audience to contextualise the whole photograph. When editing this photograph, i decided to overlay the same photograph by changing the opacity and the positioning to in order to get a distorted overlay effect. Also during editing, i adjusted the levels and curves in order to make the colours in the graffiti much brighter which helped contrast against the dark colours in the models clothes.

This is another example of my work from this shoot. This wasn't something which went to Shorditch to photograph however i thought that it would look good if it was to be overlaid in photoshop. Again like the photograph above, i decided to take it at an angle in order to create a depth of field which i feel is much more effective that taking a photograph straight on.  The overlaying technique was really effective on this photograph as it makes it look as if there are thousands of different padlocks even though there aren't half as many as there looks. 

I was inspired to do this shoot from my previous shoot as i wanted to continue to look at graffiti but in a different location which was more urban rather than old and derelict. I also wanted to incorporate some colour in to my work as a lot of my previous shoots, i have edited them to be in black and white and only showing little colour.

As a result of this shoot, i think that i have gone as far as i can with graffiti therefore i would like to go back to animation and do an idea which i have had from the beginning of this project. This idea is to  create an animation which will show different emotion and facial expression of one person.
