Photo Experiments 2

Reminder: 8th April- Avril Photoshoot

Some experiments before I take pics of Avril next week. experimenting with fabric and composition. These were a selection of the more successful images.


This image may have worked better if the figure was trapped behind the cloth. Like my first photo experiments, we should be struggling to see the figure, struggling to find out what it is, who it is. Being behind the cloth throws the perspective off.


The idea for the shoot is to have the fabric act like a barrier between the viewer and the figure. Considering how the material is quite thin, smooth and watery I could use it to refer to the layers of protection put up that puts distance between the figure, but it is still thin enough that.  I'm still thinking of ways to almost 'dehumanise', to take away certain characteristics that make them human, and make the viewer place a certain personality to them.  The lighting still works well in these images as everything from the  cloth to the shadows play a role as they try to conceal the character, envelope this figure in some sort of barrier.

Edit: Avril could not make it in for the 8th.
