studio shoot

Photoshoot 1: Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 February 2014

I have set up my own studio at my home, to ensure that I can regularly do photo shoots without the added hassle of travelling and booking a studio either at university or elsewhere, and with the knowledge that to do this project as I want to, I will need to be regularly doing shoots.

The set-up of my studio can be seen in some of the following shots.

To undertake the photoshoot, I used a Nikon D300, my camera of choice for professional studio practice, and a tripod. This first photoshoot was to experiment with some inspirations I have had for futuristic living, and what life would be like as a clone of myself.

Some of the costumes I used can be seen below, and a full contact sheet and some of my favourite final shots will be made available on this blog at a later date. This was an important photo shoot because it allowed me to take the next step in the artistic journey I am on – to actually visualise some of what I had been imagining. That realisation element is so important, as I made clear in my blog post regarding the ‘floating hotel’ in Mongolia – if you can imagine it, you can do it. I need to carry on with my imaginings and make them real here.
