Middle of the Night Inspiration

Woke up this morning at 3:30 am with an idea for my final portfolio which I need to discuss with Steve. My idea is to still focus on sport portraiture but do a constrasting photo of the person in there working environment. A kind of work and play shoot. I like the idea that all the photos will be taking in their sporting outfits though but will see what Steve thinks and google some examples tonight at College. Any one else have thoughts they'd be greatly received.

Just had a discussion with Steve about my ideas and how the work of Robert Seale is inspiring my thought processes. He liked my ideas but highlighted that the lighting of my subjects on location could be challenging. We discussed having a studio session to practise the different lighting techniques I would need to use, also using the portable kit from the college so I can easily duplicate the techniques learnt in the studio on location.

The biggest thing that Steve said I need to go away and work on now is drawing up plans of the shots I want to take including lighting, position of the subject, time of day, location etc. So I am going to choose some of the shots from professionals like Robert Seale and then look at designing a plan to help me duplicate what I was seen.

Steve stressed that the planning is crucial to complete a successful location shoot so that's what I am going to do.
