Work Record - Shoot Three - Fairytale in the woods

In this shoot I was trying to give a fairy tale theme to the photos by using a natural background and natural head dress for my model. When I researched fairy tale photography the background seemed to play an important role in the shoot as this decides the feeling of the photo. In order to improve this shoot I would try and use more obvious conventions of fairy tales such as props like apples, crowns and other costume items. I would also use more than one character possibly a character representing good and one representing bad to tell more of a story although I do like the fact that the audience can create their own story from the photos due to the lack of obvious interpretations. I also like the natural lighting in these photos.

I like this photo because I was trying to achieve a fairy tale type feeling with the photo and the natural stream helps to do this. I also like the costume with the flower head dress because it continues the natural theme the photo has. Finally the facial expression looks a little worried creating questions for the audience to think about such as why she has a worried look on her face. Also the scene not to controlled so it is easy to get different interpretations from the photo.

I think this was one of the photo's that could be improved as it is not quite zoomed in enough so doesn't show all of the detail of Amelia that I would like it to. I do like how the photo is set up however, with Amelia being directly in the middle with the woods surrounding her suggesting that she is free with the world around her.
