Word Diary - Multiple Flash

This session consisted of with the aperture setting on my camera in order to produce images where my subject is 'cloned' throughout the picture. This created exciting pictures full with repetition, showing consistency. At first, I had to experiment with the aperture in order to get good photographs, I also had to experiment with the speed that my subject moved in. I asked her to move fast and slow so that I can see the difference and figure out which speed would be best for my image. I soon became confident with this and started shooting properly, getting the subject to do different movements and at certain speeds. I found the lighting was a bit of a problem in this shoot - as my subjects moved around so that I may capture her, the lighting varied. This is because as she moved, she got closer or further away from the lights so her clones may look darker or brighter than the original subject. However, as the shoot progressed, I noticed that this was good for my images as it created diversity and different effects each time. This made my pictures look exciting and fun.

This picture is my favourite from the shoot; this is because the clones are clear enough for the viewer to see and they all have different facial expressions. This makes the photograph more exciting and attractive to viewers. The black background also makes my subject stand out and allows the viewer to focus on her and her actions.

I think this picture could have turned out better - the problem is the brightness of my subject's face. It is way too bright for the rest of the photograph, but despite this, I think the cloning of her arms has come out perfect.

Next time, I will experiment more with the lighting, manipulating it and using it to my advantage. I think this will allow me to prevent pictures that has a part that's too bright or too dark.
