The equipment I used for this technique was, a tripod, a Light meter (to work out the camera settings of the studio lights), Studio lights, a subject and a couple props to play around with.
As I had already experimented with this technique last year, I was familiar with it, however I feel like this technique works better for a "creepy" shoot rather than my proposed shoot for this year.
My favourite photo from this shoot:
To take this image I got my subjects to stand still at the back of the studio, after the flash went, I got them to walk towards the camera. I done this a couple of times and I believe this one came out the best because it could be very symbolic as if their "souls were coming out of their bodies", even though all they done was walk forward.
My photo resembles this image above which is taken for a pre-wedding photo shoot by photographer Sham Hussian. These two photographs resembles each other because you can see the subject in the first state but then see the movement of them moving forward towards the camera.
My least favourite photo from this shoot:
This was the first image I took. Due to the camera being too far back, it shows the surround of the studio- including the pink background at the top. Additionally, I took this image without informing my subject I was about to take it so he wasn't looking at the camera but over at the people behind me. Furthermore, I do not think this image shows slow sync as well as it could have.
Using this technique?
When it comes to be taking my photos for my shoot, I do not think I will be using this technique, this is because half of my shoots will be documentary and therefore I wouldn't really be able to capture it very well as it would best be in the studio. Additionally, I do not think this technique would work well with the theme I want to do- youth subculture.
