Set up 5

This is the last set up i used, initially I didnt want to use a white background again as the images I did last semester on a white background didnt turn out as well as i had hoped. However I decided that if I used props and just did the images differently on a whole I could still make the white background work. I used two large umbrellas, four poly boards, and a beauty dish to create my white background.

These are a few of the photographs I took using this set up. I decided to give the images a bit more of a playful feel by using the balloons but I also used the balloons to incorporate the pastel colours into the shoot (as i didnt have the intended pastel coloured dress). I got my two assistants to waft the balloons from either side to try and keep them up in the air and to try and keep them even. In a way i think that the balloons work well but in a way they dont, perhaps if i had more, and had more pastel coloured ones it would have worked better as on some of the images there is blank space in some places and lots of balloons in others. I think it worked best when the balloons remained in the background instead of the foreground, it looked better and also made it easier for the model to pose.
