Week 3 Mon 11/03/19
There were two potential images I wanted to create using my model:
- Contrast between light and dark
- Reflections on the mirror
Following images were taken to explore my model.
In that the main feature of my model was inspired from window blinds, I took a test shot in front of a blind-like exterior of the building. This photo, however, was lacking the elements mentioned above.
In terms of expressing the unlimited potential dream has, and the uncertainty that lies within, this image had the best representation of such concept. It was only possible for this image to be taken with a mobile device as the hinged doors were too small for the lens of the DSLR to fit through. The back plate was removed in an attempt to get a higher quality photo but it was difficult to achieve a shot with similar atmosphere as the lens was reflected on the mirror.
Final shot
After the first few attempts at taking photos with different concepts, I decided to refer back to my very first test shot with strong light shining into the model. Multiple images similar to this shot was taken. In the decision process, photos without the lattice shadows were eliminated early on. Afterwards, the photo that best shows the contrast between light and dark were chosen. This photo was prioritized over others in that clear contrast is shown not only by the shadows created but also on the background of the model.
