Weekly Planing
This slideshow shows how I have planned out my weeks for this project.The first week all I did was do my research properly and to a high standard and also looked in depth into some of the things I was planning on doing such as Drag photo shoot. I have looked into the history of Drag and why people started doing it and what they do it for,for example some people do it for living and some just do it for the money,because a lot of Drag Queens are stand up comedians so they dress in drag and put on a show to entertain people.
I have also looked at different photos and drawings of Disney Princesses because I didn't want to do a Disney photo shoot that has been done before by another photographer.
I have discussed all my ideas with my tutor and as soon as he checked my research, I could continue working on developing my ideas a little bit more so they would be perfect.
The second week I wanted to sort out all my photos for my photo book which was a part of my final project. All the photos of the gigs that I have done in the past were on my laptop so that week, I brought my laptop in to college to sort all the photos out and put in a folder on the mac that I am using at college.
After looking through all the photos and putting them on the mac, I have decided to experiment with a few of the photos in photo shop. I wanted to see if some of the photos would look good in black&white or maybe a little bit duller. After trying some edits on the photos I didn't like how they looked because I thought that black&white takes away all the fun in the photo and a lot of my gig photos have bright lights in them so I wanted to leave the photos as they were because they gave a more positive message to them and it showed that those gigs were fun and everyone has enjoyed them.
After deciding that I didn't want to do any editing to the photos I have saved them all on my laptop and when I got home I have sent them to a company called Photobox and they have put my photos in a book for me.
Also, we have a second studio in our classroom and we have a black wall that I was planning on using for my 'Body' photo shoot and it was dirty and scratched so I decided to paint it black again so it would be nice and clean for my photo shoot.
On the third week, I have decided to start doing my 'Body' photo shoot because it was going to take more than one day to finish it all off. So on the Monday of the third week, I have asked one of my friends in college if I could borrow him to take a few photos of his ear. He has stretched ears and he doesn't wear his plugs anymore and a lot of people make remarks that it looks disgusting and that it's not very nice to look at so I wanted to show to people that even though he has his ears stretched at one point,he shouldn't be judged by them and that it's not disgusting but interesting instead.
After taking some photos of my friend's ear, I wanted to take some more photos so I went in the art room next to my class room and I have asked a few people if they could help me out and be models for a few hours for my photo shoot.
After taking all those photos I have transferred them on the Mac that I was working on and I have selected the best photos out of all the ones that I have took that day and I have edited them in photo shop. I wanted that project to be purely black&white so all the photos that I wanted to include in my project were going to be black&white.
The fourth week of doing this project I have continued to do photo shoots with people for my 'Body' project. I have asked my tutor if I could take photos of his hands for the project. I have also taken some photos of my boyfriends chest,arms and legs.
After finishing doing those photo shoots and editing the photos that I have chose to exhibit, I have decided to think about how I want my photos to be exhibited on the exhibition night of my final year in college. I have drawn some examples of how I want my photos to be exhibited. I have decided that I want to put them up outside my classroom and my music project in the classroom so people can go in, watch some videos and also look at one of my projects.
Fifth week into the project I wanted to start doing my Disney themed photo shoots and also the Drag photo shoot. The Monday of that week I have asked a few girls from art to model for me for the Disney project and after I have finished those photo shoots, I did some editing to the photos just to make sure that all the colors are vibrant and stand out.
After finishing the Disney photo shoots, I have decided to do my Drag photo shoot.For that I have asked a friend of mine to do the make up for the people that were doing the photo shoot because he is really good at it. So on the day of the photo shoot, he was doing the make up on the models and I was sorting out the lighting and anything else I needed for that photo shoot.
After that week,when I have finished all my photo shoots, all I did was send all the photos to print out to the company called DSColor Labs, and whilst I was waiting for the photos to arrive, I did a lot of notes on my blog and I have also edited the footage that my tutor has shot of me doing the photo shoots and I made some 'making of' videos for the exhibition night as well.
Also in that time whilst I was waiting for the photos to come, I made some photo frames for them all out of mount board and then I made sure that they fit when the photos came.
I have also looked at different photos and drawings of Disney Princesses because I didn't want to do a Disney photo shoot that has been done before by another photographer.
I have discussed all my ideas with my tutor and as soon as he checked my research, I could continue working on developing my ideas a little bit more so they would be perfect.
