Photography Studio 1

    Kort Woycheshin,  Women hides Man Under Her Bed, 2023 Here are some behind the scenes in the creation of my final making a scene project. For the final photograph I used four lights plus natural window light to create the scene I wanted. I had a small led light to the left of Matilde (subject in the bed) set to 2900k to try and match the gas light on the right side of her bed. I then used a Godox Sl60 set to 5100k to exaggerate the window light on the right side of Leah in my photo. For the subject under myself I have a very tiny aperture light set to 5100 K to add a sense of mystery and confusion of what the subject under the bed may be doing. Are they dead? Are they hiding? You decide.  I used a fog machine to get a sense of depth and density in the air that I so enjoy of Crewdson's work, I think I could use a 10% diffusion filter on the lens to get a similar look if I didn't have access to the fog. To take the shot I had a live feed streaming to my phone under...

 This is a scene that I see almost every morning and have started capturing photos of it often. Sometimes on my phone quickly at a glance and occasionally on my digital camera and once on film (shot on colour need to take them to a lab still.) I love the qualities of this photo, it builds a frame within a frame and has a subtle accent of colour with he pink grow light in the window. The frame is interrupted by the lamp on the left side of the window. As I was writing this I realized why I like this shot so much. The movie Hereditary by Ari Aster is my favourite movie of all time as I thoroughly enjoy the horror genre and this movie is a masterpiece. The following photo is a still from the movie that my photo reminds me off and subconciously probably was riffing off of. It would be fun to do a series of images with this light on in a room, maybe I will do that for fun sometime. 

  Bathtime Photographed: By Cody Robinson  This is the digital picture that we took prior to taking a picture with my film camera. The idea was to try and use the water as a barrier for sound, to show how men can scream and say everything about how they feel but it never gets passed that barrier. I think it's really impactful and vulnerable, and gives good insight onto how I feel about the topic.  This photo was very difficult to get as a hate being underwater and the feeling of water going into my nose is awful.
