Body Shop- Photo shoot

Had the photo shoot for one of our final ideas today. There was loads of equipment, was crazy, over £3000's worth! The amazing Nikon D80 (which is a beast), an amazing tripod which came in really handy and some blinding flash guns!

The set up took us quite a while to sort out. I don't really think there is a way to explain how we did it, and I took photos on my film Canon camera and haven't developed them yet,so here is a quick sketch:

...well, not the best sketch in the world but you know! This is what the set up looked like; the flash guns lit the giant piece of white paper to give a glow effect through the fruit (well thats what we planned anyway). The camera was about 1.5 meters above the glass window (which our fruit pattern was on).

All in all the shoot wasn't disastrous, but we had set I aims high, and we didn't manage to meet them. Some of the fruit we used (such as the avocado and bananas) was too thick and the light from the flash guns couldn't penetrate it.

We have managed to edit one of the images and have a rough mock up!
