Today I went to Uni with the intention to shoot 3 of my mini - assignments, Product, Food and Nature Morte. I shared the studio time with Cara and Oneka, we all chipped in and helped each other with ideas, setting up and just general things within the studio like helping place various objects for shots and checking the images for being in focus as we focussed manually and also making sure we were keeping safe, i.e wires were made aware of. I got in for about 10.30 and stayed till 9 at night. Oneka and Cara shot most of their images first and I got one or two done in between, as I was booked in after. We put all our names in to book the studio together so we could all work within the studio together and have about 6 hours all together, which works best as we don't get disturbed, can keep our set up and luckily no one was booked in after so I was able to stay till late, meaning I didn't mind at all letting them get on with their ideas and shoot, though they still let me shoot in between here and there, a team effort! One of the biggest things I like about this course is the people, my peers, helping each other get the work done, people don't mind because they know if they need the help it's there, the help gets returned. At dinner time I popped out to get the salad for my food shop and also got flowers for mine and Oneka's Vanitas/Nature Morte as we had decided to do a photo together, as we were both actually in the original group we got given and both had missed the group's final shot, though I was there the first day, we didn't end up shooting anything as not all the group was there and therefore didn't have all of what we needed, so we brainstormed some other ideas, Jodie, Grant and I. I bought both white and red roses though in the end only used 1 white rose throughout various photos and vanitas. The shoot went quite well and I am happy with the outcome and glad I stayed till 9 as it allowed me to have a few hours working on my own and so I think I did quite well, I did a few shots using a perfume bottle(s) and a single flower, which can be used for product potentially as well as the cans and chocolate bar. Overall it was a very productive day with 3 assignments shot, Vanitas, Product and Food. I've already done Documentary and I'm now left with Montage. Below are a few of photos just to show the set up today, fairly simple but effective.
