Personal Shoot No.6 Work Diary

In this shoot i wanted to experiment with animation by showing the different colour nail vanishes. With this specific example i also created depth of field by making the nail vanish nearest to the camera appear much larger than the nail vanish furthest away from the camera however we know that they are the same size. By having them change one after the other it allows each individual colour stand out by it self to ensure that all the colour are seen and acknowledged by the audience. If i were to do this shoot again, i would like to use much brighter colour and maybe focus on photographing each nap vanish at a time opposed to various in one shot.

This is another example of my work from this shoot. My thought behind this photograph was to make the nail vanishes look as if they are placed naturally rather than positioned. When editing this photograph i decided to delete the background in order to ensure that the nail vanishes standout as well as making the nail vanishes brighter to allow the glittery colours to look as if they are shining in the light. By using lighting from above, i was able to create a shadow underneath the bottle of nail vanish which shows the form allowing the audience to see that that these are 3D bottles of nail vanish.

If i was to do this shoot again I would consider focusing on an individual nail vanish as this would give me a more specific focus and will allow me to experiment with the composition of a single bottle. I would also change the background colour as this could be used to contrast and create a more interesting photograph.

What influenced me to do this shoot

I was influenced to do this shoot from my previous shoot which was of 'Smirnoff' as i wanted to photograph liquid products in an alternative way therefore i decided to do it with nail vanish. Also i was influenced from my very first shoot as included a animation with the nail vanish to add diversity to my work. 

As a result of this shoot, i would like to look at photographing make up from a  commercial point of view whether it be just the products or with a model showing the make-up.

Future Shoot

In a future shoot, i would like to look at photographing make-up in a different way by showing the model wearing and applying the make-up opposed to just the product.
