Personal Shoot No.4 Work Diary

This is one of my photographs from my forth personal shoot. The idea of this shoot was to take commercial photographs for a mens fashion retailer. As i was unfamiliar with this type of photographer i decided to start of with just one outfit per model. I used a white background as this is typical of fashion commercial photographs. In this specific photograph, i have edited it to have three of my photographs within one composition to show the one outfit from different angles and poses in which the model is in. I chose to have this model in black and white as it very simplistic however clearly shows the monochrome trend in which i was interested in for this model due to his darker skin and hair. 

This is another one of my photographs from my forth personal shoot. Again i used the white background to create a clear contrast between the model and the background as well as allowing the brightly coloured top to standout as the main item of clothing. In this specific photograph i decided to have the model looking towards one side as i felt that it looked more natural than having him looking directly at the camera. The models posture is relaxed which is reflected in the clothing in which he is wearing as it casual and comfortable.

If i was to do this shoot again, i would like to use a variety of different outfit in order to portray the different seasons such as summer and winter.  I also would like to experiment with different angles and poses as i felt that each photograph was too similar. Also to improve this shoot I would look at using a location to add more visual aspects to each photograph and to give the audience a more realistic view of the clothing. 

What influenced me to do this shoot

I was influenced to do this shoot throughout looking back at my person project image bank and finding many examples of fashion commercial photograph. This was something that i hadn't looked at before therefore i wanted to try something new and different. 

As a result of this shoot, i would like to continue to incorporate fashion into project as it was something that i enjoyed shooting.

Future Shoot

A future shoot which i would like to do it to continue with fashion however look at different outfit and colours in order to show different mood, emotion or seasons.
