CHELSEA

Chelsea Project - Studio Shoot

The plan for this was to get pics of the models so I could use them and edit them for my Chelsea piece for Saatchi. I wasn't sure if I was going to have the pics in a collage piece or a Tim Marrs style piece, but either would look great. Equipment includes a Nikon with sofbox & hotshoe. The location is in the photography studio.

 

The aim of this was to get pics for our Chelsea piece. This went badly as you can tell because none of the pictures came out right, bright one minute, pitch black the next even though I made sure the aperture and shutter speed and everything else I did was perfect. This was done with a softbox and hotshoe even though I didn't want to use them. They could be improved by not being overexposed.

My favourite one because it combines light & dark

The plan for this was to get loads of brilliant pics for my Chelsea project and eventually for Saatchi, where I will edit these into something great. My equipment is a Nikon 3000. Location is in Chelsea

 

I aimed to mainly get pictures of architecture so I could gets lots of ideas for pieces, as well as the clock from 'World's End'. For the building pictures I pointed a camera upwards creating converging verticals. The images were made because I wanted good stuff to edit for my pieces which would eventually be displayed at Saatchi Gallery. It worked by being taken at the right angles, having shadows & light, good amount of sky, which looked really good. I would improve by getting some pictures of the houses in Belgrave and coming back when King's Road isn't boring anymore, as I would have got some great pics if King's Road still looked like what it did in the 70's.
