Day 13

Today I have managed to complete my 3rd shoot which I planned on our day away from college yesterday, I felt like it went really well, we didn't get the kind of shots that I wanted as I was looking for more dance type images but my model wasn't a dancer and was kind enough to to agree to a shoot last minute. I tried to direct her as much as possible but I really struggled with positioning her in ways she was comfortable as she has back problems and took a long time to feel comfortable in front of the camera despite my efforts. Im going to have to reshoot this shoot which isnt a problem, I would however like to have an actual dancer for the next shoot! Not saying that it will eliminate my problems but it would be nice to do a shoot which could possibly produce some finals.

Also after receiving the critique back from sophie I realised that I need to actually start annotating my shoots! Which i completely forgot so I am going to get that done tomorrow.

Day 16

So in a bizarre twist I have now taken on a whole new direction with my project all thanks to watching a video of one of my favorite artists... Strange I know. When I was watching PINK's 'try' video I started to think how it related to my white on white project last year and how them throwing dust about created really interesting patterns and it clicked! Connect white on white whith FMP! So I have spent the day looking for artist that have used this in their work and I have found an amazing artist called Ludovic Florent how has really inspired me to take a hole new approach to this project and I feel that doing it this way would actually make this project more my own too, it would create a whole new dimension to a typical image, taking the ordinary to extraordinary.
I have also send out a message to practically everyone I know asking if they would be willing to do this type of shoot for me so I am not just waiting on responses.

day 18 - end of week 4

I have spent today trying desperately to find a model but no one has been willing as of yet so I have decided to model myself! This is going to make the shoot alot harder for me as I'm going to have to work with timers but I think it's worth it if I can get some good shots out of it, I'm going to have 2 assistants with me to help load the powder but all of the actual camera work will be done by myself, I will have the camera set up on a tripod so that results will be consistent and hopefully Easy to adjust.

This week has been a real turning point for my project, because of having to work through models not showing up ect I have really developed my project into something meaningful to me, I'm looking forward to using to powder to create an extension to my models feminism!
