For the plan of my first shoot I decided I'd draw it out on paper to get a wider understanding of what I may incorporate into my first photoshoot. I had a theme I desired to follow but I didn't have exactly which props I wanted use. Inspired by Alexey Bednij I wanted to perfectly align similar items with one key point that stands out. I decided i'd do 4 ideas and choose myself which one I felt best to create.
Having personally evaluated my ideas I have drawn, I have narrowed it down to two ideas that I will consider creating. Firstly the row of pencils with one upside down as they all very similar so one odd one out would make the photo stand out perfectly. Secondly, the idea that I may want to create is the test tubes. The props are easily obtainable as I can get test tubes and a test tube rack from Science therefore there is very little set up involved. For the pencils, I may want to make a half white and half black background, like Alexey Bednij has created in his photos as it has a phenomenal midpoint that attracts the viewers attention. For the test tubes I will do it in a dark room with a studio light. This will help to create the 'Light and Dark' atmosphere that I desire and will lead back to the project theme. Furthermore the test tube is made up of glass and therefore it will glisten and shine under studio lights and will attract the viewers attention. |
