Studio Photography Lab 09

Lab 09

 During this virus we were asked to create and test out some DIY studio setups at home. For a while now I have wanted to invest in some studio lights. I recently ordered them from Amazon and they are definitely worth the price.



Two very powerful lights although they are a little too bright at time. There is no dimmer so to soften the light I had to improvise.

I cut out a old bed sheet to fit over one of my lights. I plan to cut out another one but I'm using it for my fill light to soften the shadows.


I found that just the sheet wasn't enough so I grabbed an A3 page and used clothes pegs to hold both the page and sheet.


My next mission was to block out the sunlight coming through my window. I have blacked out curtains but light was still purtruding though them. I decided to tape 4 black A2 sheets of paper together to fit the size of my window. This worked very well blocking out 99% of the light.


I have a matte black desk that I have been trying to sell for quite some time but luckily I still have it and now plan to keep it as it works perfectly for projects light this. I have white walls so I have the option of a white or black background.


Using another sheet of A2 black paper I can use it for a black backdrop against the white wall.


That is where I'm at currently and happy with it. I can definitely produce the shot I'm planning.

Studio Photography Proposal & Research

Image
Proposal & Research My product that I will be photography and developing an advertisement for Orchard Thieves Cider. I was heavily inspired by the global Jameson Ginger and Lime campaign to promote Jameson Whiskey. I work as a barman and was instantly drawn to the advertisement when I first saw it. The drinks looks incredibly appealing when prepared properly. Below I have added one of their advertisement videos which blew me away. Jameson Ginger & Lime Advert Here are some examples of the many images used to promote the recipe. These are easily achievable and extremely effective.     With the use of photoshop, I could also create a poster like this below.

Methodology: Process

METHODOLOGY Digital Journalism Process: Following the success of my previous project. I want to raise the bar. Since we are able to choose from whoever we like in the course. I have decided to join forces with two of my friends that have similar interests and good work ethic, Daniel Jupe and Denis Miculas. They are heavily invested in photography and have the equipment necessary to create some really high end videos and images. I myself have a camera, tripod and GoPro with many attachments so we plan to encorporate it somewhere. As it is a video we're looking to make something cinematic, appealing and impressive. We don't have much experience in this field but we know some basic stuff and we will let our creativity take a hold and see what we come up with. As we look as the topic available to us, nothing is really that appealing. We're currently caught between Digital Journalism and Mapping. We have an fascinating idea for the mapping but are unsure how we would c...
