17th juneeee :)

today has been a really sucessful day :) it was all aout your own indepedant work so you had to chose when and what to do. Sir said we had this weeks lesson and next weeks lesson to complete our three final ideas. By the end of next week we have to have our three final ideas, secondary research to do with our idea, a photographer research who photographed some simliar and a test shoot on your idea to see how it will turn out. I decided to leave my test shoots till next week as id have a etter idea of what im taking.

i went into this lesson having NO ideas what so ever so i didnt know what i would do. So i looked at my mind map and focused on main words that i thought would give me ideas.

wishes and dreams caught my eye, then that turned into my first idea my first idea is a girl wearing a tiara with her hand up to the camera with Beleieve written on it. This shows foreground as its coming away from her and towards the camera. with a cute cheeky smile to make the picture seem opptimistic and hopeful. It will be straight on like a portrait, so i researched portraits, i didnt realise there was so many different types!

like this one, didnt realise a portrait could be taken from above, it gives the protrait a twist. and the fact she is looking up make it different and its almost like she blends in.

and this one is a good example of forground, like my first idea will show as the hand is closest to the camera just like the feet are in this photo.
this one is so cute. its a simple portrait and a close up. because its a close up the baby looks even more innocent as you can see every detail.

i then researched a photographer called mario testino. he is a famous fashion photographer but has photographed celeberities models and the royal family! all in the style of portraits, but some of his work is amazing :O some of my favourite work that i found today was...

i liked these because there were so bold and all stoof out, Angelina jolie is in black and white and is so simple, but she looks gorgeous! the angle of the photograph is genius.

The other two are more like high fashion shoots but they two are my favourites! they stand out and show good contasts!

My second idea was involving two people, one whispering something into the others ear behind their hand. the person who was listening would be shocked and have her mouth wide open to show that what you hear is what you beleive! it reminded me of a closed flower bud, all secretive and nothing would get let out. when i was doing reseached i devloped my idea further, so instead of have he girl shocked i could have her having one finger over her lips like a SHH DONT TELL ANYONE feel to it, or a girl with tap over her mouth so she CANT tell anyone.

My third idea was influenced by one photograph.
th girl with the flower. it reminded me of a yound girl with wishes and dreams. i want MY photograph taken from the same side on angle but instead of the focus point being a flower i want a dandelion instead. the person would have their eyes shut and they would blow the dandelions 'petals' away. and i would capture that moment. so it looked like they were making a wish. then i thought a boy or girl? but then i considered doing both, and it worked out because everyone has dreams!

i have decided that whatever idea i decide to go with on the final photograph, i will cut up that photograph into different close ups and different angles and put them all together. so i will have the MAIN photo and then the photo split up different with smaller close ups of different bits.

this week was more of a research week as i decided that was best, next week i am going to constantly be shooting ALL of these ideas and deciding which one is best. which is going to be hard because i like all of them. but whatver turns out best on film :P i cant waaaaait!
