Studio Class - Week One Notes

Studio Shoot.
Using light to create an emotion...
Themes to be explored: Evil, Loss & Greed

some ideas i thought combined with appropriate lighting would capture each of the themes.

Ideas for Evil:

- bloodthirsty lumber jack.
With my beard and a flanno. perhaps an axe. blood splashing. combined with hard light.
typical horror-ish look that i could pull off as the model.


"...i'm a lumberjack and i'm okay".


i'm enjoying this lighting setup. it'd work well for an action pose (similiar to this dickhead). perhaps lunging with axe towards the camera etc...

- flasher/pedophile.
Crazy hair. Long overcoat. Old man's glasses. Harsh lighting from below perhaps.



- crazed business man.
I was thinking a man with a business suit with a simple bowtie. Splattered with blood.
creating a look as though he'd just gone a killing spree. bright light maybe?? create mixed messages.

Ideas for Loss:

- bushfire victim.
singed clothing. ash on face. look of despair. would bring about strong emotions. could perhaps be something seen on fundraising media. similar to advertising recreating traffic accident awareness etc.


i could see this image working really well for loss, really captures the details in the face.

- widow mourning death.
black dress and headdress. dark makeup (perhaps makeup running)



Ideas for Greed:

- Money falling from sky.
photocopy money and print lots out. bright colour. bright light.
Greasy looking man in suit. Fat man?


haha. awesome!

- Man stuffing his face.
table full of food. man stuffing his mouth. food falling to the table. high key.
