Spent the day in the studio today. It is a long day, but whilst I am waiting for potential clients, I get on with other work for the course. It was pretty good day for subjects, managed to photograph about half a dozen people, one of whom coincidentally happened to be an old friend of mine that I hadn’t seen in about three years! Consequently she was confident in front of the camera and I got some really nice (if not slightly wacky!) images of her. I had asked Gary who worked there, if he would be able to ask around to see if he could find any potential subjects who had previously been tattooed at the studio. As mentioned previously in the blog, it is quite difficult to manage to get the intended shots from some people when they are not ‘natural models’. By that I mean that they are not totally confident in front of the camera. I myself hate being in front of the camera so am not the best subject. Unfortunately, the people he had in mind, did not turn up. If I had more time, I would probably attempt to get more subjects who could really pose in front of the camera and would not mind being photographed for longer than five minutes, I am sure that I would then achieve the photographs that I want. I cannot just get anyone in who has a tattoo as the project is about the Middleton studio and the photos that I have taken are fine for that purpose. I will however, as suggested by my tutor, experiment with different backgrounds and using black and white as well to see which images work best as a cohesive group.
