Thought Experiment - Asking Ideas for Shot Composition?
Our take
Embark on a thought experiment where creativity meets composition. In this collaborative photography project, we aim to visually interpret select poems through the lens of a model who also writes. Using a large studio space with a projected backdrop of poetic text, we seek to balance the model's foreground presence with the captivating depth of the background.
Ok everyone - a little thought experiment. Not asking for and direct photo feedback or critiques - mainly how you would handle this situation:
I'm sketching out a photography project with a model I work with who also writes poetry. The concept is to visually represent a few select poems through poses and composition. I'll be in a controlled space - a large studio with a 30 ft wide by 24ft high cyc wall. Here's the objective:
- Use a projector (5,000 lumens) to project the poem on the cycle wall as a background element. (I can develop different styles for the text in Illustrator for use in studio).
- Use the depth of the room to pose and separately light the model in the foreground.
- Adequately control the lighting so there is good separation between model and the background - but shooting with a good enough aperture to keep both in focus.
I'll have a ton of strobes and modifiers to work with.
Here's the question - how would you light these two scenes separately, but in a way to create a unified look.
Not that it really matters, but I'll be shooting on a Fuji GFX100sii.
