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

For my first photoshoot, I plan to shoot at Gronez SSI, taking advantage of its rugged coastal setting and interesting, historic arch way to create a dramatic series of images. I want to shoot underneath cloudy skies, ideally in the late afternoon, so the soft light and textured clouds enhance the moody tone of the shoot. The concept will focus on themes of isolation and resilience, and it will strongly relate to the theme origin I will capture a mix of wide shots showing the scale of the landscape and the archway, mid-shots that mix both the finer details and the landscape and then close-ups that highlight textures like the rocks or the steps. Overall, the goal is to create a cinematic, slightly mysterious visual story that highlights Jerseys history and SSIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By adding linear gradients to these photo and lowering the exposure, it stops the sky from being completely blown out and it prevents the negative space from taking over the image.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

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

I think these two work well as a pair because they are very similar, they where just take from different angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

These two images work well as a comparison due to them both being of fine details at the SSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

These two images compare really well because the steps show what is this side of the wall and act as leading lines over the wall to the tower on the other side of the wall in the right photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparison to Emile Guiton <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Theses two images are both of rocky features along the coast line, taken in black and white, neither images contain people and they both just focus on the environment. The rule of thirds are also very similar in these images, with the bottom three being the foreground, the middle three being the subject and the top three being the sky and background. Both mine and Emile Guiton’s image use soft, natural lighting on a cloudy day. However, these images definitely have their difference, In the left image, the subject is a man-made arch way that is further away with more negative space than the right image. Moreover, my image as a flatter, moodier sky, whereas, the right image as visible clouds and clear sky, creating a happier, more upbeat tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Overall, I’m really happy with how my photos turned out because I think they met the goal I had in mind and followed the original photoshoot plan closely. The pictures show a solid grasp of composition, lighting, and where to place the subjects, which helped make the results visually appealing and cohesive. I especially believe that the focus on detail and the careful choice of angles and framing added to the overall impact of the shots. Moreover, the consistency throughout the series strengthens the theme I wanted to express, making the final result feel well-planned and intentional. Even though there might be a few small areas to improve, I feel that the photographs clearly achieve the goals I set and effectively convey the message I wanted to share with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
