PhotoShoot 1
For this shoot I have taken photos that I can use to overlay on the top of portrait images, which I can take later. I made sure to photograph things which were colourful, and I also emphasised that colour using Photoshop, this was because when I come to overlay these photos I will want them to stand out rather than blend into the background of the portrait image. I also plan on taking more landscape photos, as the detail is easier to see once they have been overlayed. I will edit these photos more and experiment with them to see how they look in black and white once they have been put on top of portrait images. For my next shoot I will experiment with shutter speed so I can use different styles of image to overlay my portrait images with.
The images I have taken on this weren't as successful as I would've liked, and I also didn't take a lot of images to start with. When I come to take my next shoot I will make sure to take 60 or more images so that I have a wider range of images to edit. I will also focus on taking portrait images so that I can experiment with the double exposure technique and see what styles/effects I can experiment with different styles of image. When I come to do my next shoot I will also use a plain background as I think it will make the silhouette of the subject stand out more, making the overlayed image look more interesting. I didn't take any portrait images on this shoot, as I will so for a second shoot.
