Fashion
Photography.
Seeing the whole studio
set up immediately gained my attention to start shooting. Ideas didn't come as
easy as other times on the course, but I eventually gained momentum with my
ideas from looking at various fashion magazines.
We first had a short
introductory talk on how the fashion photography industry worked, which
completely shook my original view on how it functioned. I anticipated that
integrating yourself into fashion photography would be extremely hard (I'm sure
it still is), however one can actually hire models for free in exchange for
giving them photographs. This works two ways, the model and you, the
photographer, gains exposure.
Practicing shooting in
the studio.
Outdoors.
I wasn't pleased with
most of the photos I had captured because I didn't have a strong vision of what
I wanted, therefore my photographs didn't reach the standard I wanted.
Conducting more research beforehand would have helped me a lot more in order to
have more inspiration and direction in the shoots.
Directing people, in
terms of giving them personas and scenarios to imagine themselves in was very
enjoyable, although it became quite frustrating at times when I couldn't
communicate the exact poses I wanted for the model or the model couldn't
exactly understand what pose I had envisioned. Although throughout the day,
directing became slightly easier throughout the day, but it was still a
challenge.
