Shoot 1
For this shoot I will be looking at the concealment of portrait photography using different landscapes. My work will be inspired by photographer like John Stezekar, Who creates collages using vintage portraits and landscapes. He creates his work by using vintage portraits of Hollywood celebrities and postcards from the time. Like Stezekar I will be using both portraits and landscapes, However I will be using photos I took myself rather then vintage ones as I am able to focus more on the composition of my photography. To give my photos the feel of being vintage i will be using a monochrome filter to .....,but I think this could lower the quality of my photos so I might not do this step.

Shoot 2
For this shoot I will be taking a photo inspired by the work of Rosanna Jones and Pabo Thecuadro.I will take a range of portrait pictures and manipulate different parts of the face. I feel like these images show the different layers of a person.I need the images to be clear and bright, i will ensure the exposure is set perfectly and the focus point is fully on the face. I want the composition to be equal so the face is fully in the picture and it should make it easier for me to edit.
For my final edit of this piece I would like to create one version using photo plus and one by printing the photo off and making it in 3D.I will need to take this photo next to a plain colored wall in a room that has good lighting.My camera will need to be set on an ................. ISO and a ................... shutter speed,to capture

Pablo ThecuadroPablo Thecuadro is a Madrid based artist who creates surreal photo collages of people.I personally like his style of photography because i think each picture has a deeper meaning. The photographer is trying to show the thoughts or personality through the editing of each photo.

Rosanna JonesRosanna Jones is a British photographer who mostly works in fashion photography.I really like Rosanna's collection of collaged photos as i think it is more aesthetically pleasing than Pablos. The majority of her images are fragmented and she says that the ripped up images reflect her own life.

Pictures
I will be redoing this shoot as I personally think it is not suited for the style of the artist i am looking at.I also think that the lighting is bad and i need to work on my composition.The focus on my camera is also not very good and that is something i should work on the next shoot.Another thing i would like to improve is the angle i am taking my photo from as i think it is very
Shoot 3
Paul Butler is from Winnipeg,Canada.The series I am looking at is his "what's within". The pictures he made all included photos of someone being cut out and then the space being filled in with a picture of the same scenery or a completly different landscape.
In my opinion i think that Paul Butler's style of photography is very individual, i like the way he uses the same or similar backgrounds to fill the space within. Because of the composition he is able to easily show his ideas through his photographs and can create interesting scenarios.
I personally like the fact that the people he is taking photos of are posed in unnatural ways that you only tend to see in fashion photography, as i think it brings attention to the figure and the photograph all together. I also like the way he uses both landscapes and portraits in his photos as i think it adds a sense of man versus nature to his photos, the relationship between human life and the earth surrounding us, it makes me think that we are blending into the background.

For my third shoot I am going to be working in the style of Paul Butler and his "What's within" series.
What I liked about his work is that he focused on both landscapes and the silhouettes of people. I will need to get photos of two locations, one of a person and one of a landscape. To reflect the photographers style I will try to take my photos using the rule of three composition to center the person i am taking a photo of,as i think it will bring more attention to my photo. Here are some more examples of his work:

Shoot 4
For my shoot i am going to use a mirror to show someones reflection different to how it should appear.I will take the picture of a person inside on a plain wall, with somebody else holding the mirror. For this shoot i will need to make sure that my photos have good lighting and a good focus point. Also i will have to think about the composition of the person and the mirror so that i dont capture anything within the mirror.

As i couldn't find a broken mirror i used a black, ripped piece of paper to achieve the desired effect.

Final Images
I couldn't decide on which edit i liked most. I felt that changing the filters gave a more serene effect which fitted better with my plan and images that inspired me.
I created a double expoosed image as a further experiment. To do this i took the same photograph, opened it twice in photo plus and layered them on top of each other. I then changed the opacity of one layer to create a shadowed effect. This is probably my favourite edit as it has elements of concealment and like the work of
