Today was my Body shoot with Emily. I met with Emily at the weekend to give her a little insight into what to expect on the day, and to put her at ease so there were no surprises. I met her at university at lunchtime after setting up and making sure everything was organised so she wouldn't have to sit around waiting for me to get myself together. Once I'd bought her up to the studio, where we would be shooting I showed her the set up and she asked questions about the lighting etc. I then asked her to stand on a cross I'd marked on the floor and carried on talking to her without taking any photos, in the hope that she would slowly feel for comfortable standing within the set I had created.
Just before I began taking the photos, I told her to do whatever made her feel comfortable. Whether that was talking to me, looking around and just looking at the camera. When I met with her at the weekend I told her about my concept of a person being made up of the two perceived people. So when I said, lets start taking some photos, she immediately asked which one she had to do first. I found that really nice, that she has obviously been thinking and had remembered my ideas for the shoot!
The shoot went really well, I felt really confident in my idea, set up and hoped the Emily felt the same way..
