Evidence of Test Shoot (New Project)

For the new project I decided to focus on self-reflection during the isolation period. I have never done a project on self-portraits and I am not confident in front of the camera on my own so it was a new challenge for me. Firstly, I had a backdrop positioned behind me and set my camera on self-timer. One thing I struggled with is the latter as I couldn’t see whether I was in focused or not resulting in a quite a few blurred shots.

I decided to be bare-faced for the test shoot as I wanted to focus on becoming comfortable in posing and seeing whether the lighting was appropriate. Having a prime lense meant the frame would only be focused from my shoulders upwards. I did have a tripod however since it was a self-reflection I wanted to focus on my self expression and the above are the results.

For the next shoot, I will try to compose my shot so I could capture from my waist up by increasing the height of my tripod and see whether it would work. Otherwise, I will try and research for poses I can try next time.
