The photo shoot I have in mind I am trying to translate that emotion like every time im on a shoot. To create a sense of control and shape. I am not to concerned about the lighting with this shoot as I am aiming to have a feel and look of journalistic photography so not necessarily black and white but focusing more on the tones, shapes places and natural light. As a feel my photography has a feeling of communication, passion and weirdness to it I want to do this again and make my work stand out and look fashionable. For my individual studies I focused on journalism in terms of street photography, war corespondency and how the what effects does the photographer get when working in that environment, Also how do they get paid and how hard is it has a career. I was really interested and intrigued with how photo journalists worked in such away. Working in the studio at university has opened a range of skills to my photography as I was unsure about lighting and how light can effect a photograph quite rapidly. As I journalistic point of view photographers don't really worry about the light as they are capturing the surroundings and the subject of what is going on around them to display a story if you like. I think as I am interested in the outdoors and journalism to me is something photographs ether have it or they don't. I am more so now in to fashion and because of this my work has come on dramatically over the two years spent on my course.

So for my individual practice I am going to produce a set of images that involve the surroundings using natural light and a reflector if necessary. I am going to create photographs of fashion but with elements of what a feel is journalistic. I come up with the idea of photographing a ballerina in different dance forms in terms of controlling the models positions with the environment.I will be interested and looking for the light, shape, form and beauty. I have lots of locations in mind for this shoot and I know it's going to be a long day and the model, hair stylist and make up people are going to hate me when I have finished but I am positive that my work will show for its self.

I didn't think this idea has been one before and I was really looking forward to shooting but when researching and looking in to the fashion and journalistic styles I come across my idea and I was disappointed as I really did feel it was going to be something personal and good for my.

Below is some research i found:

I am having trouble when attaching photographs to this post so i will try again another time.

Words of wisdom i found from Andrew Farrington

I seen this when browsing facebook and it was on Andrew Farrington's quotes.

I don't know why i am blogging this but feel this quote is perfect because am going though some problems at the minute..

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
