These are the contact sheets from my recent shoot.
In this shoot I think it went quite well, I didn’t really mess with depth of field all that much so next time I think I would try and experiment with that. I went to the skatepark initially and I got some good shots, however half way through my shoot I realised that the skateboard prop is enough to convey the skate punk aesthetic/genre that I was trying to convey. I ended up going to some lanes which looked quite urban and cool and I think that the shots I got came out well. I think my shots worked well as the mise en scene helped convey the genre well. I think next time I could have experimented more with depth of field and more poses but overall a good shoot.
These are some of the final photos which I am thinking of using.
I think that these photos look quite good and they convey the genre well. these photos have quite a rebellious feel and the spray-paint can prop helps convey that feeling. The clothing works well for skaters and the punk genre as there is a broad range of clothing which they wear.
Overall I think this shoot went very well and I’m pleased. By going out and shooting I have more knowledge of how to use mise en scene to convey a certain message. I also know how to use a camera much better and I understand what makes a good photo!
