Bright Lights Shoot

I had already planned on doing a photoshoot based on thunderstorms and freak weather conditions. But thought on the day before the shoot start to try and do a a few close up shots of the face and have the images really over exposed to show electricity as well and lightening. 

I quickly screens hotted a few ideas so that my model would know what I meant. I spoke to my photographer and he said he would shoot the images normally and over expose them on photoshop. 

Inspiration From iPad. 

TRYING DIFFERENT EFFECTS 

We shot a few image straight on and with my model pulling a face like she was screaming. I would see these would look good when they were over exposed as the face she was pulling looked realistic of being scared by the light. 

We decided to try and see if we could create anything a little different using double exposure. 

We created some really different images however with some we did have trouble with the ears being the main focus when she turned her head. 

The ears have become the main focus in this image. This was because she was just turning her head side to side. 

Again the ears are too distracting in this image and that is all you can really see when looking at the image.

EDITING IMAGES 

My photographer knew what my theme was and suggested put a lightening effect on some of the images I thought this was a great idea as it pulls it together and makes the viewer understand what effect it is. 

MY THOUGHTS 

For a last minute decision these images have turned out well. My photographers idea of adding the lightening effects onto the image really work. it adds that element of shock and I really like how bright they are. I think if they were to go any brighter you would start to loose too much detail. 

The double exposure work really well and show the hecticness of lightening and storms. 

THE OVERALL EFFECT

These images work well along side my other images and off the same raw effect I have managed to achieve with my other images. If I was to do this photoshoot again I don't think I would change anything for next time. They were very simple to shoot but I believe effective in my book.
