Multiple Flash Work Diary

During the lesson on the 27th September 2016 we were given the technique of Multiple Flash. To create that technique, we used a tripod, A snoot- this meant we could direct the light onto our subjects, we used the light meter- this meant we could measure the light so we knew the camera settings to put on our camera.
My group experimented different ways to display this technique, this included having the subject in 3 different positions or just having her move around a lot.

My favourite image from this shoot:

This is my favourite image from this shoot because its very similar to my research and shows how the images from my techniques post has help inspire my shoot. Additionally, this image is really intriguing because it shows 3 different standing positions. To achieve the photo I got my subject to move, and every time she was at a new position, I got the person on the light to flash it, this meant that the movement between the positions wouldn't be as dominant as this was when the light flashed. This image shows by progression of this technique because it shows how my research had helped me take these photos. For example the image on my image bank has a female with three different stages- her looking to the left then looking forward and then looking to the right, therefore showing my work was influenced through this photographer.

My least favourite image from this shoot:

This is my least favourite image because this was my first image that I took and my subject was just going to move her arms a bit and then move around a little, however as shown in this image, there was too much exposure on my subject because she stayed in the same place for too long whilst the flash was going. Furthermore I do not think this shows my intentions of this techniques because this isn't clear movement/ positions.

Using this technique?

When I come to taking photos for my independent project I do not think I will be using this technique because it doesn't work well with my idea. It could be argued that I could use this with shoot ideas such as skateboarding, however, actually getting the equipment would be rather difficult and very expensive- another reason why I shall not be using this technique.
