About my Images

I was so happy with the outcome of my images. I absolutely loved taking the photographs and the not knowing of how they would turn out was nerve racking but also exciting.

I set up a piece of string to hang on my brick wall in my garden. I originally had planed to use a brick wall but felt it wouldn't be enough to just photograph here which is why I tried to start planning other areas and locations to photograph. When I actually set up my set against the brick wall I realised this wasn't the case and the brick wall looked really affective.

I hung my yellow tape measure over the string and pegged up my 3 curve id pairs of jeans.
Equipment wise I used a tripod the original flash from my camera and for some the images I used a soft box outside. This really helped with shooting the images but also helped with providing light for me when I needed to see what I was trying to set up.

I shot all of the images on a really high shutter speed of 30" and sometimes experimented with it at being 20"-10". As i shot in manual the aperture that I used changed between F13-20. I wanted the jeans to all be in focus which is why I used a wide aperture.

My ISO was put to its highest as I felt this helped to provide more light in the images and also felt it would look effective have a grainy look when photographing for an urban brand.

The different light sources that I experimented with was glow sticks (all different colours), phone torch light and a key light. The phone torch light was really good when drawing round the jeans and the key light was good to draw on top of the jeans to outline them. The glow sticks didn't leave much of a light trail but they were good to use for adding colour and make the images look more effective.
