Another Test Shoot

I found these images on pinterest and decided to take some shots in my bath tub in the afternoon since the lighting reflects brightly on the tub.

Below are a few I took:

I was going for the moody aura and decided to take some mid close up shots to capture my facial expressions. I didn’t take enough pictures as I said before I am quite uncomfortable in the camera hence why but I am quite satisfied with these. I did notice that my camera was quite wonky on my tripod which after the shoot. I have chosen two pictures from this set that I’d like to include as my final images.

The reason for choosing these is because they both perfectly capture the moody aura wanted for my project.

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.
