Reshoot of greed and examples of text.

I have now shot all of my sins and this is my re shoot of greed which I did a week ago. I really like this image and on its own it looks a bit dark but with with the other images it really works well. i tried a range of places on the image to put the text and found that the only way it could work was to shrink the text and hide it in the image. I really like this effect so I deiced to do it to all of the other sins, so I can put the text in the image with out being conscious of the eye being drawn to the text but instead the very will see it a second time round when looking closer. I have put in gluttony and pride as well so you can see the examples of what I mean.

Greed shoot.

This is the latest images I have done of the seven deadly sins project. This is the sin greed in this shoot I have kept it the same with all my shoot. I have used the same camera, tripod and torch to get the same effects on every picture. I have not put these images in Photoshop yet but my final images have.I do like these pictures but they are not in focus I have arranged another shoot with my model for a later date.

Images and text so far.

These pictures are my first attempts at putting text on to images and I'm not too keen on the idea of putting it on my images but how i want them to be printed means i have to for i don't want a broader.


I did try to recreate the images i found of the film Repo! but i found that if i had shot just the people in the studio on just a white backdrop then i think it would be alot easier for me to Photoshop them than trying to do them from the images i have made.

I do like some of the images and the text but my only worry is if i put the text in the wrong place and i dont want the text to be the first thing the viewer see i want them to let their eye go around the picuter and not just focus on just the text thats why i have tried to make the text small and hide it around the picture so they almost have to find what the title of the image is called.

I am happy with my work so far and i am happy with the gluttony, sloth and lust images the envy i will improve on the wrath i am still tring to find a place on were i can put the text and i only have to shoot Pride and Greed which i will do in the next week.

Text and Images

I have been tring to think of a way in which i can get text in to the picture with out the eye being drawn to the text first and not the image. i have look at some picture and posters and then i came across a film i have called Repo! The genetic opera. In the case it has some postcards of the cast and who they played in the film. I then started to think if i could turn my sins pictures in to they same effect as the postcards. This is one of the pictures from the postcards.

More shoots.

This picture is of wrath and i think i will shoot again. it took a very long time with the lighting and the long shutter speed. The place i went to is not too far from where i live so it was easy to get to. I found it hard tring to tell the models what i wanted them to do with out them fighting for real. i like were i have set it but i will need to re shoot it and then see which one are better. Also the ones i have taken so far seem a bit too staged.
