As a group we have decided to use the idea of using top lighting in our shoot, here is a lighting plan for the project:
Also, this is a photograph of how our lighting looks on the shoot week:

Initial Ideas for Lighting
In terms of Lighting, we liked the idea of using top lighting because of the way it gives this pool of light which gives quite a nice contrast of different tones, we created these mood boards to visually show our ideas:
Initial Ideas for Hair and Makeup
In terms of Hair and Makeup, we liked the idea of going with more a minimalism style for the hair and make up that defined features of the face, we created these mood boards to help with further push our ideas:
Initial Ideas for Set
Our Initial Ideas for the Set is going to based around this Industrial themed place such as as an abandoned Industrial Warehouse, these are some mood boards that we created to help us progress with our ideas:
However, after tutorials, the feedback was that we needed to make our space more defined like what type of abandoned industrial area it was e.g. Woodworks, Steel Works, Storage Warehouse? We liked the idea of having a Steel Mill/ Steel Works themed abandoned industrial area, these are some mood boards that we created on Steel Mills/ Steel Works:

Waste Final Prints
These are my Final Prints for my Waste Project:
With this prints I wanted to show how the family space has changed by photographing rooms in my Gradfather's house. I chose to concentrate on the bedrooms where my mother's family slept and the dining room table where they always used to eat. On refelction on these final prints I feel that I have achieved what I wanted to by showing the rooms devioid of human presence but I chose to include objects in the photographs that have realtion to the people that once inhabited these spaces such as the first image my Grandmother's Dressing Table, in the second image the table being set out for a familty meal and the third the photograph of a relative and the old Monopoly game on the bed. I have been influenced by photographers I have referenced such as Jessica Backhaus, Oyvinsd Hejelman Phillp Toledano, Dwayne Michals and Breda Beben. I think that the images are a little dark and to improve I could of made them lighter, however I think that the darkness works well with my concept.

City Final Prints
These are the Final Prints for my City Project :
Witht these prints I wanted to show how Urbanisation has affected Small Towns and Cities. I chose to use double exposures as my technique because I find that multiple exposure photography goes against the nature and rules of traditional photography. I chose to under and overexpose my images to emphasize this notion of fragmentation, dominance and submission with my images. In the majority of my images I have chosen to experiment with using trees in my work as I find them to have this omnipresent quality of nature. I have found these images to be quite experimental, spontaneuos and unique which is due to the complexity of tones, shapes, lines and textures. These images have been hugley infleunced by photographers I have referenced such as Hans Malm, Jason Evans and Lee Friedlander. I think that I have produced visually interesting images that translate my ideas about the rapid growth of ubranisation. To improve these images I think I needed to have a little more thought into what I photograph to get better results.
Landscape Final Prints
These are my Final Prints for my Landscape Project:
With these prints I wanted to show how high demand for food has dramatically changed how our food is produced. I chose to photograph plastic play food to emphasize this notion of how our food becoming artifical due to industustrial scale of production and artificial means of production through environmental controls. I chose to photograph this plastic play food on a dinner to plate to show that we consume this food that has been produced in this artificial manor and I chose to photograph these objects in a field to show how food should be produced on the land and in the earth rather than in an large industrial greenhouse. These images have been influenced by photographers I have referenced such as Simone Nieweg, Hannah Collins and Freya Najade. I think that I have got what images I wanted from my ideas about the project and through the references I have researched. I think to have improved on these images I think I should of use a wider variety of plastic play food so that my final images would have been more visually varied.
Shutter Speed: 1/500 Aperture: F4.0
