Large Format Camera Shots

Whilst I was capturing I try an alternative position but compared to the other position I did not like the way you could see the back of Megan's head and it did not have the same effect

I also tried using a white background then a black background to see if the background gives it a different effect and brings out the highlights differently.

Below are my negatives from the shoot. I only shot size and shot three with a white background and three with a black background so I could choose the best image.



The image above is of the different body position but I it did not have the same effect as the images below and I did not like how you could see the back of her head, it took you away from the surrealism I was trying to achieve and the shape of her back did not give as much as detail as the other position so I decided to keep to the image of her back and trying to make the image look sharp.

The image above I captured them when I took the slide out I noticed that it was not sharp enough so I adjusted camera to make the image sharper and captured the same position again

The above image is slightly sharper then the previous image but the shape of her body is too relaxed. I wanted to push her body more so you could feel that uncomfortableness coming from the dancer

I decided to change the background to black so it kept with theme of my digital images of having a black background but again I felt that the dancer was too relaxed and I wanted to push he more.



I asked the dancer Megan to change arms as she looked to comfortable and really pushed her others are not as flexible so to get it into the correct position I had to keep pushing her until the image worked and you would feel the tension coming from her. I like the position of her back it has created. I decreased the aperture size so it would make it brighter hoping to bring out more of the highlights on her back

The image above is slightly brighter and of the same shape as the previous image. 

Overall, I am happy with the images. I felt more comfortable using the large format camera and one or two of the images have come out sharp with I had problems when I previously used the camera. My aim would be to next time is try double exposures and have two different positions over lapping on the same film also to try alternative body positions. If I had more time I would like to try the technique such as double exposures.
