Today I started my first day of shooting at the subjects place of work. I spent the day in the school (the area used for riding) documenting the subject on a range of different horses. I wanted to spend a whole day in the school because the subject spends most of her time training and riding horses in the school. As Chelsea’s job is head rider for the establishment the major of her time is spent riding, so I felt it was important to document Chelsea riding her horses for an entire day.

The changing weather and lighting conditions did create some difficulties with creating consistent lighting in each photograph, however I like the look of the overcast sky which made the light really reflect off of the subjects. I focused on just capturing stills today, as I want to devote a whole day to capturing moving image. I am happy with the way this shoot went, I got some successful results considering the changing lighting conditions.

By devoting a day to each area of the subjects life I want to cover, will allow me a good amount of time to get the results I want, and will leave me plenty of time to re-shoot if necessary. I have given myself an extra day to capture some more footage of the subject riding as I felt it is such a big part of Chelsea’s life and most relevant in telling the subjects story.
