Shoot Ten - Work Dairy

Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 2 seconds
ISO: 400
I really like this image because the colour is so cold and it makes the subject look quite distant, the connotation of this photograph is that the subject is upset or annoyed, I think that it looks this way because of the colour used, it is a very cold blue as it is so light. I am very happy with this image because of this and because the framing is so well done, I wanted the subject to be in the centre of the photo, however I didn't want it to be too zoomed into her face as I liked the composition like this, it shows a lot of the background as well as the subject and it also isn't too close to the subject.

Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 2 seconds

This is another example that I liked, although some of the colours seem to have worked differently than others. The warmer colours like red and purple were difficult to focus on, and although I took them one after the other with no change, it is less focused on the subject in the warmer images, I don't know if I did something wrong with the camera settings. But overall, I think that this image is good because it shows a completely different connotation to the blue tone one, it looks a lot warmer, although still not happy, this is because the red is so intense that it looks quite angry.

Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 2.5 seconds

This is a bad photograph from this shoot, the subject isn't in deadpan which is what I wanted for every image so that they worked together, I wanted the colour to give connotation to how the subject felt, not actual facial expression. Furthermore, the image isn't framed like the others, it is a lot more zoomed in, and although I don't dislike it, I don't think that it works with the rest of the photographs. 
If I were to re-do this shoot, I would probably explore different subjects of different ages, because although I wanted to focus on youth, I can still look at other ages alongside and I think that this could work well with other ages.

  1. a good post however there is a need for you to link colour to mood what moods are evoked with the use of blue light look at the psychology of colour and reference eg. Picasso's blue series. You will also need to integrate your choice of camera settings and how this affected the outcome.. For future posts ensure that you are linking the formal elements and composition . Then identify possible connotations.... remember everything is a sign and has a meaning..
