After looking back on the first shoot, i think there was a lot that was completed successfully. However, i think there is a lot to reflect on and work on for the upcoming shoots. One of the most successful elements of the shoot, was the angle of the images as well as the use of blank expression. The birds eye view shot allowed the camera to take a portrait shot on the body consumed in the liquid. The blank expression allows the audience to project their own emotions into the image and interpret the photograph according their own insecurities and ideas.
An element which i did not this was very successful was the use of the fake flowers, despite it working well in a few of the images, even for myself it was hard to tell how they connoted meaning in others. I think for the rest of my images i will leave it only to the model and the milk bath. I think by keeping it simple, it will be keeping it primarily effective. The audience have less to focus on, which means the model is going to be up for further interpretation from the spectators.
My next shoot will involve a young male model who will be placed in the bath and following a similar shoot to this one. These photo shoots are unique as none of the models are professionals and so their posing will be real and natural rather than staged and professional. Because of this, I am excited to see how he stages himself and what outcome is produced.
