For our digipak we decided it was essential for us to conduct a photo shoot in a studio and use professional lighting and cameras to get a very high quality picture. As we didn't have access to a photography studio we used a make shift studio which was made from stretching a black cloth across a wall. We used the lights that our school provides which are three bulb photography lights. For the camera we used a Canon SLR camera.
We used the lights behind the artists head to highlight the outline of her head and we also used coloured light gels to manipulate the colour of the lights. This lighted her but not well enough for it to be seen clearly on camera so we decided to point a light on her left side which created shadows on the right side of her face which we found created mystery and made the photographs have more character.
We also had a photoshoot for our poster. We didn't set up a studio for this as we wanted to try a different approach for the poster. We used a member of our groups garden to get some brick wall shots and also we used a room in her house that was being decorated to get a few shots against a distressed wall. We used the same camera as before and mainly used natural light to light the photos but inside we used the same photography lights to brighten up the area and stop shadows on the artists face.
This video shows a sample of images from both photoshoots...
