When it comes to the photoshoot compared to the photoshoot plan, it was harder to plan ahead what I would come across as it was a new place that I had never been to or experienced before. To my surprise, inside the hotel, the rooms were much darker than I had expected, and most of the picture required a flash, either from the camera itself or a handheld torch. While photographing, there were much more risks than I had expected, and I had to be extremely careful to not touch anything, but also to capture as much as I could.
Sub-Selection
I have selected photographs of the best quality, and ones I though were showing the experience in the best way . I selected those which I thought best described the storyline and turn of events, so those which showed both the exterior and interior points of view.
Editing
When it comes to editing I was able to copy the same editing style throughout the images, the main features I did change depending on the subject of the photograph was the colour , as I wanted to enhance the dramatic effects of the colours in order to make the photographs look like how they felt for me to experience. This feeling was eerie and unsettling, so I tried to recreate this within the images. The main featured I did highlight were the exposure, sharpness and clarity.
Final Images
Overall, I was left with far less final images than from my sub selection, however, the ones I was left with, in my opinion, showed more of the subjects rather than the experience, this is because the subjects I did come across and discover had a big impact on me. Like seeing so many moldy pieces of furniture. I feel as if the final outcomes have an eerie nature to them, and I did a good job editing in a way to enhance this unnerving atmosphere. On top of this, the idea of discovery links back to my key theme, which to me is a success.
