Photo shoot.

Photo shoot
I have started doing a photo shoot in an attempt to capture the feel of my artist's profile. i have taken a few photo's so far and will be uploading them soon. I am doing another shoot soon as i am not completely happy with all of them. I may chose some of the pictures from my shoot for use in my digi-pack. my concept is to capture the indie folk essence in my photo shoot while using the lyrics in the song david to help me decide on the persona that I would like to portray in both the video and my photo shoot.

I have been experimenting with lighting as I wanted to show my artist in this style with half his face bathed in light while the other half in shadow. This was to show the nature of my artist as a way of showing he is not perfect, he has a dark nature. This matches the ideas behind my music video that are meant to portray his past, something he is not proud of and haunts him throughout his life. This is an idea that I have proposed to match the way I have perceived the song and the indie folk genre.

Out of 48 photos taken during two photo shoots I have chosen these two photo's. we used a continuous light also experimented with strobes connected to the camera as well however i discarded those photo's because I think these two are good for representing the image I want for my artist.

I also made sure the camera was at a head on level angle as a way of saying to the audience that he is equal to everyone. he is not a lesser nor higher being. A simple yet poetic way of saying we all make mistakes in our past we are human all we can do is counteract them attempting to better ourselves as a very emotionally driven species.
