Photoshoot plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this photoshoot, I plan to shoot in the style of Marli Miller at the sand dunes, I will do this during mid day for harsh shadows that will look good when turned into black and white. I will also experiment with different amounts of negative space in different photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further editing and masking <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, I added ‘Storm clouds’ to prevent the sky from looking flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pairing experiments <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

These two pair together really well because one is pointing in land at the island and the left one is pointing out to sea, showing two completely opposite angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I really like these two next to each other, this is because the left one looks out at the sea view and the other one looks to the right down the coast, taken from a very similar spot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

These two work really well together because they are both portraits and the left one uses the road as a leading line through the image and the right image uses the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparison to Marli Miller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The image on the left shows was taken by me and the image on the right was taken my Marli Miller. Both of these photos show dry, sandy and rocky landscapes with little vegetation. In both of these images, rock formations on the side of a hill is the main focus. Both of these photos are taken from a fair distance and taken in landscape. These photos also both have many differences. First, my photo is in black and white where as her photo is colour. The right photo contains trees that appear dead; a barren landscape within the desert and the left photo shows the sand dunes that have small plants and greenery. Furthermore, my photo shows man made rock formation (the bunker) and her photo shows a natural rock formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, I am very pleased with how much images turned out, they have turned out just like I planned them to, the dramatic, dark sky and the moody black and white theme is exactly what I was going for. Furthermore the sand dunes will make a perfect fit to my book of the Jersey Sites of Special Interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
