DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY - 2.1

My client strictly wanted the grave shoot to be taken in the daytime as she wanted a grey, muggy, slightly mystical feel to the photos which I could then enhance in photoshop. When people think of the genre of zombie/grombie they instantly think of a dark, nighttime setting as they are dead, human eating beasts and therefore creep around at night to scare their food/prey. I liked that Anne broke this convention and chose daylight. However for the second photo shoot at the farm we had no choice but to do it in the dark because of work commitments but this was not a bad thing. The night time enhanced this particular set of photos to the maximum as I had good lighting from my flashgun and so the focal point was clearer and the images themselves were better quality than the first shoot in the daytime. Anne did not specify in her brief what kind of editing she wanted for the farm shoot but i did ask her when we was on location and she said she wants the photos to draw every bit of attention to the make up and so the sky or surroundings do not necessarily need an atmospheric colour put over them like the first shoot did. By simply having the 2 shoots in different times of the day changes the feel you get from each shoot despite them both showing zombies in action.
