For this technique we used a tripod, a snoot (which focuses the light straight onto the subject), we also used a light meter (this was used to tell us what to put our camera settings to). My group experimented with different poses, including just moving around freely and also staying in one position to create an image similar to the one below.
I think this is my best photograph from the shoot. Originally I wanted the subject to move about more however staying still for some of the image ended up looking really good, this photograph actually really reminded me of a photograph of the beatles that I have seen. However I do think that the image is over exposed in places. We used a light meter to make sure we were using the right camera settings, but there was some natural light that got in after that must've affected the final images.
This photograph is my worst from the shoot because the subject didn't move around the studio space enough and the layers ended up getting really bright. It seemed like a really good idea but when we actually did it, it didn't work well. We did quite a bit of experimenting in this shoot as we didn't know what would work well, this happened not to. However I really enjoyed this technique.
Progression:
Although I really like this technique, I don't think I will be using it for my project because it doesn't work well for what I'm doing. However I do like how candid the subjects look in these photographs. In addition, the equipment to take photographs like this outside of the studio is quite expensive and I don't think I would use it much.
