Work diary - Shoot 2

This shoot was taken as a development from my previous shoot. This shoot was still continuing the influence of Fay Godwin but instead of photographing landscapes of nature I decided to still develop and enhance the aspect of scale in landscapes. However photographing a different location that Fay Godwin was also best known for and that is the sea side. I looked at photographs that she had already taken to get some inspiration before I went and shot mine this allowed me to feel more organised and well planned when I came to shooting. The location that I done my shoot as was 'Bournemouth beach' this was a very beautiful sea side which allowed me to be very creative with my editing afterwards.

The photographs I looked at before my shoot that Fay Godwin photographed were:

                                                                                                                      Fay Godwin's photograph

This photograph was taken as part of my second shoot for aspects of landscape and shows the aspect of scale in the photograph. This is because the low angle photograph allows the depth of the sea to emphasised which makes the scale of the sea look very large. This allows the photograph to look realistic as its giving the audience a feel of what the location would be like in real life. Furthermore this photograph was inspired by the landscape photographer Fay Godwin this is because she has taken a very similar photograph in her own portfolio however there are difference between them this was done to show the connection between my work and hers. This photograph was also converted into black and white and was taken of the sea side to show how Fay Godwin has influenced my work and brought me to this stage of my journey in this project. Overall I am very pleased with this photograph as I feel it makes the sea side look beautiful and the aspect of scale used also brings a slight aspect of movement into the sea even though it's a still photograph.

This photograph was one of my edits that I created for my second shoot of aspects of landscapes. This photograph emphasises the aspect of scale in a landscape continuing on from my first shoot. The reason I presented these individual photographs in a multiple imagery grid was because it allowed the aspect of scale to be shown more exaggerated as well as the edit showing a connection between the multiple imagery question in the exam as well showing how complex my work is. The individual photographs were converted into black and white because this reflects Fay Godwins work and how the use of the black and white effect shows a calming and tranquil atmosphere. The idea of using multiple imagery to show the landscapes in each photograph also shows the range of photographs I had taken and allows the audience to see different parts of the landscape that altogether show very clearly how big the scale is of this sea side. In addition this photograph also slightly shows the aspect of movement in landscapes this is shown in the two photographs at the bottom showing the still movement of the people and the dog running in the sea. This is an idea that I can develop on from this in shoots to come which will allow my shoots to all connect as they are taken.
