Today I conducted a shoot looking at the daily goings on of the yard. I spend the day following the staff documenting their everyday surroundings. I wanted to capture images of the yard without the staff in them adding, creating a series of landscapes and documentary shots of the subjects place of work.
I started the day waling around the yard and taking pictures of the inside areas of the yard such as; the tack room, the wash bay, stable and various work areas speed across the yard. I wanted to wait of the light to be right before I started taking outside shots of the subjects place of work. I spent most of my morning documenting the inside of the stables.
I wanted to give the audience an idea of the space and atmosphere the subject works in. The subject has described her place as work as boring and lifeless so I wanted to capture the subjects point of view.
As the light became more prominent, I began shooting the outside areas of the yard. I chose to shoot the outside areas in the morning just as the sun came up as I felt this gave the outside space the best light. The cold weather gave a really nice frosty effect to the images, one of my vavroute images is the frosted mirrors in the school. The image shows the audience the early starts the subject goes through everyday. I like the outside images because the sunlight give a really nice quality to the photographs.
I spend my first day of shooting the yard showing the surroundings. I wanted to get plenty of establishing shots, introducing the audience the subjects place of work. My goal for this shoot was to capture the atmosphere of the yard. Looking back on my photographs I am happy with the quality of photograph I have achieved. Tomorrow I plan to shoot the subject at work, documenting her everyday routine. I want to take my time with each shoot assuring I get the result I want .
