This has been my favourite part of studio photography yet, maybe not interesting to some but i love photographing flowers/tree's and nature so i was really looking forward to doing this. I wanted to capture different aspects where as not just showing flowers to be delicate and pretty but to show them using darker lights and tones to make them more pronounce. To do this i used quite low lighting and shot from below, I put them in a rusty brown coloured tin vase i think it created a really nice effect and indeed just as pretty as the high lightning shots of the flowers just captures in two different ways. I also used numerous coloured different gels to have a go at them as well, i didn't find they reflected in my pictures as well as they should have so this will be something for me to work on in the future lessons.

Studio Photography- Low and High Lighting

High lighting

I think this type of style is great for your basic shots, i think it makes features stand out well and makes everything look delicate but strong. I think its very complimentary towards the models and shows of all their strong features.

Low Lighting

I really like the effect low lighting has to images, i would like to use this in one of my future projects i think it creates such a bold statement as well as creating a beautiful type of image.

Research- Steven Gerrard

Stephen Gerrard is a live photographer for Kerrang! Magazine, He has shot many artists i would love to have the chance to and his images are of amazing standard. He really inspired me whilst doing mine, you can tell the though that goes into his images, and his passion for this area of photography. He recently shot one of my favorite bands 'Letlive' Who i will be seeing in the new year, i hope that from looking more into his work i can try take some of his way of capturing images and put it into my own work, to look back and see how much/ or little i have improved or took on this role. Stephen Gerard also mainly focuses on capturing the tail of each individual person, as i have done in my work. 

I think he used the light to his advantage in all photos, but like Andres Serrano in these later images, he has such a beautiful way of capturing a colorful background some seeming warm and welcoming others seeming quite cold and piercing.
