Shoot 2 and feedback

When shooting for the second time for this project, I wanted to bring further objectives into the shoot as well as be more controlled in the way that I shot the images. When shooting, I decided to take a step back from the subject to allow for more space and control over the location and environment. This lets the images breathe into their environment and show the true location of them, giving a sense of place for the subject. 

Feedback

The feedback for this shoot was mostly positive, with the point of shooting with space around the subject being emphasised again. This is down to one of the images cutting off the corner of the road, causing tension around the rest of the image border. This helped me understand the direction of the shoot and helped me further develop the idea. This is also when I decided to create a test book for this project to see how the work could look inside the format of a book. This was also positive, other than the ordering of the chosen image, which did not flow across. This was a point that I have taken and will have to consider when producing the final book when the series is completed or to a level that can have an intermediate book created.
