Shoot 8 - Work Diary

E V A L U A T I O N

For my final shoot prior to the exam I went to photograph the river Thames. I chose to do this shoot at night time in order to capture the way the lights of the city shone over the water. This is a magical shoot, the lights on the boats and the light from the london eye created some stunning photographs. The water carries the image of the city within it and is a major landmark, just another reason water is incredible, its self can be a mode of transport, a land mark and a survival source.

If I were to re do this shoot I may try and do a day time version, and capture the sheer volume of tourists that enjoy the Thames on a daily basis. This shoot has inspired me to focus on rivers and the ocean in some of my future photography projects. I am excited to continue studying water and am pleased with the lessons this project has taught me such as depth and tone but also how to photograph moving things like water.

For this shoot I took a trip to Trafalgar Square to photograph the fountain, I really loved this shoot I found it fascinating how the water falls. My Canon 760D captures the fountain and it holds mystical beauty with the chaotic London city all around it. This tourist attraction during the summer calls thousands from all over the world, the lights in the fountain sometimes give the water a yellow, blue and red tint and at night the stunning fountain is lit up by its surrounding area. The fountain is a gem in the centre of a bustling London day, the chaotic pouring water sometimes so violent it is hard to see the beauty however captured this way looks stunning.

This shoot was really inspiring and I really enjoyed doing it, if I had the chance to do it again I would perhaps do it on a day with better weather and explore other areas of the fountain. I would love to create a bigger focus on the money thrown into the water, people making wishes on their pennies hoping this magical tourist site will make them come true. My next shoot is also London based I am going to shoot the river Thames and I want to do this at night to see how the lighting of the wonderful city of London exaggerates the beauty of the water.
