Shooting Beach Dwellers


Early this morning, between eight and ten, I was back on the beach for shoot three. I found that this is the best time to hunt for people to photograph on the beach because there are a lot of dog walkers, joggers, couples and other photographers walking along the beach; there was even one sunbather despite it being November, but I doubted she was in the mood to be photograph after I witnessed her being attached by an overly excited dog. Nevertheless I managed to photograph some cheerier people, everyone I asked was more than happy to partake in the project, which I am very grateful for.
                 During this shoot I focused on obtaining portraits of people and birds, however there are some seascapes as I wish to produce a large amount of material, allowing for plenty of options regardless of the extra editing time it will take.
 All the portraits are of a similar distance as well as full length portraits; I felt that this composition fitted most appropriately with the model in a bottle theme because I will shrink them to fit inside the bottles, like the model boat, instead of cropping. The distance as chosen specifically because in my opinion it allows for easy viewing of the finer details as well as including the surrounding environment; providing context to the photograph.
Here is a selection from Shoot 3 -
