Work Record - Eyes

Plans for the shoot

For this shoot I am going to take photos of peoples eyes in the studio.  I am going to take pictures of them from various angles and get the people to move their eyes so that I can get them facing different angles.  I think that this will work really well, especially working in the studio with the lights adding emphasis to the eyes as a whole.  I am excited to do this shoot and get to editing them because I think that there will be a lot that I can do on photoshop to make them look more enhanced and intriguing.  I thought that this would be fairly easy if I used the tutorials that I found (seperate blog post).  

I was really looking forward to this shoot because I knew that even though it was very simple, I'd be able to get a lot of good results out of it, which is one of the reasons I chose to do it.  I'm going to try and take photos of different people all with different coloured eyes to try and get more variation in the shoot rather than just taking photos of people with brown eyes.  I think that this will be hard in a way because there might not be anyone available with blue or green eyes.  This is when I will use photoshop to manipulate the photos I have taken to make it look like they have blue or green eyes. 

What I hope to achieve

I hope that the photos I take will reflect what I am trying to do.  I want the photos to be very simple but somewhat complex so that I can edit them to make them look more intriguing and interesting to look at.  I also hope that from the edits I can make them look quite fantasy like and mystical looking to engage the people looking at them more.  I think that just by taking the pictures of peoples eyes, this will do it enough, but the edits in themselves will help them stand out more to particular people.  I hope that I will be able to achieve this and get really good results out of the pictures I take within the studio.

These types of photos are ones that I tried to follow: 

What I actually achieved

I think that the photos that I ended up taking turned out really well.  I added some different types of shots into the shoot by taking photos of both eyes together rather than just the one which is what I originally intended on doing.  I think this worked in my favour because it made them look more interesting and it made them nicer to edit when it came to working on photoshop.  I thought that the achievement that I got out of this shoot because I thought.

What I plan to do next

Next I am going to take photos of frost as I think that this will look really pretty and represent the formal elements well.  I am going to work on trying to capture the frost on edges of things such as leaves and flowers to make it look even more elegant and natural.
