Evaluation
This shoot was a lot different to any other shoots that i have done, however i really enjoyed it. I think location was the best choice for this shoot as i wanted natural reflections and distortions as well, which the studio wouldn't have provided. I especially liked experimenting with different techniques such as tin foil, a red-coloured plastic cup, sunglasses etc., as these added something new and different to each photograph. I think this shoot was one of the most interesting because the photos look so strange and abnormal. However, it was quite difficult to shoot in reflections without getting myself in the actual shot, and it was also hard to figure out how to display a disfigured reflection in a photo because the camera couldn't capture what i saw.
This is one of my favourite images from the shoot. I really enjoyed shooting reflections in water, and creating the ripples so that the reflections of the trees were disfigured and distorted. This photo is completely natural, showing the ripples in the water which makes the trees and the sky look wobbly and abnormal.
I also used a model, whom i asked to lean over the bridge over the water, so i was able to capture their reflection in the water too. This image is one of the best that i took of the model, as the ripples in the water has made the bars of the bridge wobbly, and has also doubled the model so that it looks like there is two of him. I like this image a lot because it clearly displays the purpose of the shoot, which is distortion.
Progression
This shoot was inspiration and leads to my exam shoot, as i plan to shoot more photos for distortion through different objects such as a broken mirror, a spoon, a bottle full of water. I will also use a low shutter speed on my camera to capture movement. After this, i plan to shoot optical illusions with two models, for example: one will be taller than the other, an apple will be bigger than the model, a model will be "standing" on top of the other models head and a bottle.
