CONTACT SHEET




































These are my favourite 20 photographs out of the 70+ I took during my Photoshoot. Putting them onto a contact sheet is helpful as having them alongside each other makes the strongest ones stand out. I think the contact sheet shows how strong the photographs are as I have been finding it difficult to pick my top three pictures to use for the posters. I think the lighting is perfect. The subject is well light but this contrasts well with the black drop which has created a strong dull effect. I am very happy with the range of pose’s meaning that all the posters will link but look different. The model was a perfect choice she resembles the typical 17 – 19 year old girl and i am really pleased with the results overall. The only difficulty I found was making her look naked as if she is in the shower without being to vulgar or revealing.

One of the main things that changed through the Photoshoot was the lighting layout. I planned on using reflectors however i decided they made the subject look shinny and bright which didn’t match the message and feel of the campaign. The lighting equipment was set up like the standard butterfly lighting would be set up. I originally planned to move the lights around however by moving my model into different stances I avoid needing to move the lights. The aperture was set to F22 which meant it was the maximium depth. I wanted everything to be in focus to look crisp and then if wanted any blurred effects i would be able to alter that in Photoshop.
