Work Diary - Location Contrast

Evaluation

During the location contrast shoot, I found it difficult to think of ideas for my photographs. Likewise with studio contrast. However, I did manage to create photographs in which portrayed different types of contrast, such as natural and manmade, grass and soil, as well as taking a photo of one of my shoes upright, and the other upside down. Despite that I found this shoot difficult, I still managed to enjoy the topic and explore different angles and types of shots that I could capture whilst in the process of thinking of ideas. 


This is my favourite and best photograph that I took during the shoot. The contrast of the two models is evident, as one is wearing white and has blonde hair, whereas the other is wearing black, and has brown hair. I also like that this photo can be interrupted as "angel vs. devil", as though the model wearing a white dress is the innocent, good angel and the other model, who is wearing a black leather jacket is portraying the idea of an evil, bad devil. 


I liked the majority of my photographs for this shoot, but I believe the concept of this image above isn't as obvious as my other ideas. This photograph is meant to represent natural and artificial, as it is showing tree branches over the top of a building. However, this isn't obvious because we can only see parts of each, and therefore they don't overlap and reveal the concept of the image. 

Progression

If i were to take more photographs for this shoot, or re-do the topic, I would make a list of ideas beforehand because it was very difficult during the process to think of ideas on the spot. I would also like to re-take the image above, which is portraying the idea of natural vs. artificial, as i really like the concept of the photo, I just need to figure out how to compose it better within an image. These are some of the contrast photographs that i have found on the internet which i aspire to achieve if i ever add to this topic:
