Exam Shoot 3 - Work Record - Tom Hussey

Pre-Shoot:

As I haven't done any prep shoots linking to Tom Hussey I do not really know what to expect from this shoot. I do hope, however, that I am able to successfully show the 'Passing of Time'. I hope that I can make a few different edits from this shoot and that I can link well to the work of Tom Hussey. I feel that this shoot will be a good alternative to the others as it focusses on a different aspect of the 'Passing of Time'.

Post-Shoot:

For this shoot I was only able to get one final edit, this was due to lack of suitable subjects and also the time constraints of the examination. I do think that the edit that I do have, though, is a good one and really does show the 'Passing of Time' as well as link to Tom Hussey himself. I will discuss the good and the bad of this image in order to give a balanced view of my own work.

I really do like this image, not simply because I both took it and am in it, but because of how well it actually worked. To take this image I set up my camera and tripod in the hallway of my house, so that it could not be seen in the mirror. I then got my Dad to stand in front of it looking towards the mirror. I then took the photo. I set the timer on my camera and quickly swapped over with my dad before the picture was taken. This photo did, however, cause some problems. Because I am taller than my father I had to bend my knees a little in order to be of the same height. This meant that several photos of my were taken until my height and stature were correct. I think that this image is a good one that shows the 'Passing of Time' very well. However, the image could be seen as a little dark.

My Progression:

Although I have said that this shoot was quite easy and went well, there are a few things that I would improve upon were I to go out and take these photos again. One of which would be to get more edits out of the shoot. I think that this is a fantastic concept for the 'Passing of Time' and I would have loved to explore it more. I would also check the exposure of each of my images before taking the photo.
