Aim
After my success of shooting the atmosphere of Creepy outside in my "Shoot 6" blog post, I want to continue of the theme and take photos outside again, yet this time at night, this is because this will make use of natural lighting of the night darkness. I also aim to shoot the creepy atmosphere without the aspect of makeup to experiment if I create the theme without it on my subjects face and just focus on the lighting factor instead to build up that atmosphere.
This is a photo from todays shoot that I like because it shows the lighting aspect of it really well. You can't actually see my subjects face, just her silhouette. I think the timing of this image was also really important, I positioned my subject to the right a little bit so cars coming up the road would be seen (they always come up with road so this part wasn't that hard). The reason this was an important factor for my aim for this image was because it helps frame my subject better- giving a background light. Additionally, as I didn't want to focus on her makeup, I made my creepy aspect on her whole body here. Factors such as her shadow from the street light above her is also a factor I intended for because I believe this forms an eerie atmosphere because its not really a human shape- due to the angle of the light.
On my shoot 3 blog post, I show my creepy atmosphere through showing her moving on a swing. I wanted to create this image again however, I wanted her whole body in. I believe this movement factor helps build my creepy factor, although comparing this image with my other image, I believe the last one worked better in the forming of creepy.
My plan for this image was to make it look like someone is peering through the trees, although I don't think it worked as well as i had hoped. This is because the creepy atmosphere is built up in this photo. However I like the way the tone fades across her face. As I got someone to hold a light at an angle, you can see the highlight on the right side of her face and the shadow on the left, creating the transitional tone across her face. This is quite a good aspect on this image because it shows how she is only half a human- the other half is dead. As creating a creepy atmosphere I believe this factor is good, however I would prefer if I positioned my subject further into the trees.
What I intend to do next-
After completing this shoot, I hope next time I shoot creepy, my images will be positioned well but also the light is clear. Instead of adding the light through editing, I would like it to be from the raw image. I would also like to focus on a series of images that have a running theme through the editing- so they are edited in the same way.
