Reflection on Shoot Day’s

Day 1: My aim of today’s shoot was document an outdoor recreational ground to show the effects lockdown has had on it. I chose to go to both a football field and tennis court due to the fact that before lockdown both of these places were busy and they are now both empty. I chose to take these photos in black and white as an attempt to show more detail in the photos and as a way to create a feeling on lonliness towards the photo. For the majority of the photos this day i used my Canon EOS 4000D however, i did take some photos on my phone due to my camera dying. On this day i also decided to visit a pub and take photos of the outside to show that something that used to be so lively and popular was now isolated.

Day 2: On the second day of my shoot i visited a town centre. I hadn’t initially planned to take these photos due to only visiting the town centre for work purposes so i was slightly unprepared and resorted to taking the photos on my phone. My reasoning for taking these photos was to help show how less populated high streets had become. In my opinion i don’t believe these photos are successful due to them being taken in a rushed manor resulting in the angles being off which is something i would do differently next time. However what i believe is successful is that the photo does allow us to see that the high street is less populated due to not many people being around.

Day 3: On my final shoot day i again went to another town centre for the same purpose as before so i was again unprepared and had to resort to taking the photos on my phone. I again wanted to help show how a high street had become less populated. These photos faced the same issues as the previous day due to the angle being slightly off. However they were successful in what i was trying to achieve due to them showing the high street less populated than it would have been pre lockdown.
