Tell a story using a mirror.
Ahhh, story time again. Are you all sitting comfortably, then I shall begin.
Right, this one was cool. As I have said before 'story telling' within my photos is by far my weakest discipline in regards to this challenge. I decided to go head first into this one. Also, as previously mentioned I wanted to document this year personally throughout this challenge. I am fortunate enough to work in the entertainments industry, specifically theatre and so I managed to convince some of the cast that I work with to act as models for this shoot.
I had two ideas in mind. The first one was to show the calmness that happens backstage whilst chaos is going on around. I think that I achieved this in my first photo. The second shot progressed whilst I was in photoshop. Originally I wanted to take a picture in a mirror and then make it look like there was no camera. I think I did this too. Whilst I was in photoshop I was playing around with the filters and realised that you can 'brush' on different filters. So I turned the mirror into black and white. I am not too sure what kind of story this portrays and I suppose you can put your own spin on it. I was debating weather to make the mirror colour and the edge B&W and I still am not 100% sure if I have made the right call. Leave me comments if you want. Please tell me how you want this blog to go, do you want to hear more stories of the shoots? How I photoshop? etc etc any feedback is much appreciated.
As for equipment for this shoot I am not sure exactly what lens length I used. Camera was the trusty Nikon d40 (If anyone wants to pay for a upgrade for me, that would be WONDERFUL!) and the lens was my 18mm-55mm kit lens.
This was really fun to plan the shoot and I already have plans for next week.
Until then,
