planning out a shoot
for my photography class
this assignment is on contrast
both visual and conceptual contrast
I have an idea which I rather like
but am not sure if I can bring it about
it has a variety of things
some technical some just logistical
in nature
which I have to resolve
so my idea for the first shoot is this
[there are two shoot per assignment]
a vertically split background
half white/half black
on the white side
man in a tux
he is barefoot
he is facing the camera
standing with his hand in his pocket
and his head is looking forward and to his left
and his shadow stretches back and towards the dividing line in the background
on the black side
naked woman
wearing black formal heels
facing away from the camera
hands on hips
her head is looking back and to her left
a light "shadow" stretches back and towards the dividing line
I want them looking at each other
but not quite making eye contact
and to have their "shadows"
to be almost meet in the background
technical issues
[or things that could be done with photoshop if I was allowed to turn in digital work]
I would prefer a sloped white background
for the white side, the kind studios have to eliminate shadows
so that I could use a hot light to direct his shadow exactly as I want it
on the black side, I need to use another hotlight
to create a lighted area that resembles a shadow from her
but obviously would not be
that is going to have to be a pretty damn bright light
If I can find a studio space to rent
that might be able to resolve both problems
next the models
I may have the male model
and someone in my photography class
volunteered to ask some of her friends
so that might turn up something
otherwise I am gonna have to either
hire a model
or
seduce the swiss chick and convince her to do it
hmm back to brainstorming....
