Work Diary - Third Shoot

Evaluation

During this shoot, my aim was to take more personal photos of houses, cars, door numbers etc. As to continue with the idea of evidence of human presence, but look at it more personally. This lead me to take photos of broken glasses on the ground, houses, cars parked in front of their houses, graffiti etc. I liked this shoot because it allowed me to take photos of anything and everything, as this subject is extremely broad. However, I now would like to take more strict shoots, with particular structured ideas in mind.

This is one of the first images that i took during this shoot. It clearly identifies human presence as it is showing a door, with a door number - obviously showing that it was a house, where somebody lived. I like this image because the subject fits the frame, and both sides match. I also like that the number is directly in the centre of the photo, so it is in direct eye contact, and therefore is the first thing that we see. 

This is a photo that i took of a broken glass bottle that was in the middle of a cycle path. Evidently, someone has smashed the bottle and left it there, leaving the remains of the bottles label and smashed glass shavings. I like this image because it demonstrates litter, but also signifies that human presence can be careless, as they leave a trail of something they probably shouldn't (for instance, an empty bottle of alcohol). 

Progression

For my next shoot, I would like to explore personal possessions. I touched on this idea a little in my previous shoot, but i now would like to make it my main focus. I plan to take photos in the Studio of different possessions from different people (i.e. keys, phone, purse etc) aligned on a table, where some photos demonstrate that persons personality through the organisation of the possessions. For instance, I could ask the person to place the objects in order of value, or simply just ask them to place them on the table. I could also do this in a Location setting, whereby i take photos of people's desks, bathrooms, bedrooms etc, showing the different objects that they display. Another idea could be that i take photos of a diary, and show the person's emotions through words, or even notes and lists of what they plan to do that day. I had a look on the internet to find inspiration for this topic, and these are a few that i liked:
