So here are the results of my second shoot at home. Here, I was trying the idea of stepping back a bit, using as wider angle lens and not being so close to my subjects. I also wanted to shoot more busy photographs, with almost too much detail in them. I was looking to show more that the house is lived in, and how the building has had to adjust to four people growing up in it.
I have another shoot planned for next week, where I will be looking to photograph in the rooms I haven't yet - bedrooms, the bathroom, shed, garden, even potentially the loft. Given that my location for shooting is so small, I need to inspect almost every inch of it in as much detail as possible.
Again, here are the contact sheets for 4 films worth, along with the images that I feel are strongest and could go through to the final edit.
With the majority of these images, I feel that they work well together, but the series is by no means complete yet. At the moment, most of the images are of a similar tone, with lots of brown and orange. They are also all quite busy. To improve the series as a whole I need to introduce some images with slightly varying tones and colour casts, and also focus on taking images that are not necessarily so busy, but still show the fact that this is a functioning family home.
With the three following images, I feel that they are almost there compositionally, but may just need slight adjustments to exposure or perhaps a subtle crop. In the case of the final image, I feel that there is something to be photographed here, but may need to go back and spend more time with my framing.
In the first one, there are clear exposure issues, and I need to pay more attention when taking the photo to where in the frame I want to expose for - the window or the drying up area.
I feel that when combining the two sets of images I have taken already, I probably have about 9-10 final images. However, for this project I want to end up presenting quite a lot of relatively small prints, perhaps in a grid. Therefore I aim to collect at least 20 final images.
