Second shoot.

This is my second shoot and i have done gluttony and lust. i really like the lust one but one of the models looks really uneasy and to be fair i can see why! this first picture was is lust, with this idea i didnt want to really use a grils as i found that alot of magazines always use a girl teasing guys or the other way round. so i wanted something different and sort of up to date so thats why i desieded to have two guys in the picture acting like a gay couple but one of them is covering it up to friends with the picture he has one his wall. The othe picture is of gluttony with this picture i want to re shoot and get it more in focus because its just a little bit out. For all of the pictures the equipment i have used is my own Nikkon D80 digital SLR, one tripod, tourch and come coloured jells. I have not put any of the picture through photoshop yet and i dont really want to. The next step if to get feedback from people and not just friends feedback so i can take it on bored to improve my pictures.

Test shoots

So I have done some test shoots for Sloth and Envy and i am now wondering if i need to add text just saying what the sin is and the meaning. I have decided to do seven single photographs then just one picture with seven in. This is just because I want a bit more of a challenge and it helps me to develop my ideas, of not just doing one image but a set of images. By doing this it will help with planning out my picture as a set and not just as one strong image and the others just okay.

Here are some pictures so far.

Group Feedback

Okay i have been talking to other people about my idea on the seven deadly sins they came up with some really good ideas. They have shown me that i might not have to use people but i could do people and places so like for gluttony i could do a greecy cafe and have a person eating a full English breakfast!

On the other hand it could take me longer to find locations for the shoot and set up lighting in a public place and I'm not sure the owners would be too happy with my lights in the way. i do have locations ready and models as well and i did want to use people more than saying look at the place. so i think i will stick with the main focus on the people then the place.

They did give me some ideas for lighting and i think now i wont be able to do as much horror as i want because of the amount of time i have left. I think i will make it look more creepy then horror by the lighting i use, which i want to be fairly dark. I also want to get the different colours of the sins in the picture which again i can do with lighting.
