Third shoot

So after the group critiques I decided to go and shoot for the third time, and really try to make these images quite unnerving and expand on the idea of the unknown.
Once again I used car headlights as my light source and positioned them behind a hill, creating a silhouette of anything that was on top of it when photographed from the other side.

The images below are ones where I had the sky at the top of the frame and had darkness taking up most of the image.

This next set of images are ones where the sky and model are central to the frame.


And finally this set of images are ones where I was closer in to my model.

The shoot itself went quite well without any hitches, and I like the way that the images look. The light is really strong and the orange glow works well with the surrounding darkness, however I think it is these aesthetic qualities that I like more, rather than the ideas and theme in the photographs.




The photographs like the one above seem to me that they only work as single images, and that it is difficult to get them into a series. The problem is that they would all look very similar, and essentially just be re-makes of one another.





This image above is my favorite from the shoot and I like the composition that I have used here where the darkness takes up the majority of the frame. I like the lighting and colours that have come about from the headlights mixing with sky, however I don't think it communicates fear and anxiety to me, or really looks at the idea of the unknown.

I'm finding it hard to say that these images don't work for the brief as I like the way that they look, however It's clear to me now that I need to figure out what my theme is and focus on that rather than the stylistics of an image.
