Shooting

Today Holly, Jess and I booked one of the photo studios in order to complete mine and Jess' photoshoot. We had the studio booked from 9am till 1:30pm so we knew we had ample time to complete the two shoots.
I went first and had already arranged a model to be in uni for this time so we could get started straight away. I knew from previous tests in the studio that I wanted to use low key lighting and so set up the black background with a back light and two soft-box lights to light the face. I then proceeded to take all the images I needed. The contact sheets for this shoot can be seen below:

For today, the group had booked the studio to complete the last two shoots, LGBT (Holly) and Homelessness (Poppy), the studio was booked from 10 till 1 and the models for Holly's shoot arrived at half 10 in order for us to have time to set up lighting etc. Only Holly and I were present for this shoot. After playing around with lighting and setting up the studio, Holly's shoot was completed with a variety of different images to choose from for her poster.
Then we found out that Poppy was not going to be able to make it into uni for her shoot in time, therefore, Holly and I had to complete this shoot on our own, we first tried just laying the signs onto a background however the lighting was not working and so we decided to use Holly as a model and have her holding each of the signs.

After discussion between Holly and I, we decided that it would be best for us to re-shoot Jess' shoot from a few weeks before, this is because either one of us is going to have to begin editing Jess' poster but we do not have the files for editing. We also had an idea on how to improve the lighting in the images. The contact sheets for this shoot can also be seen below:
