take clothes for instance BOOK

The photo-shoot took place in the same location as the last one.
However the light was not as bright and my friend Iain took the
decision to shoot at a higher sensitivity, choosing 800 ISO as
opposed to 400 ISO which I’d chosen earlier. This would make the
image output very grainy, but I considered that this might be a
virtue as I’d wanted to emphasise a rough quality in the images.
I’d also reflected that I’d be dependent on Iain, who would now
take control of the camera, and despite me explaining the brief to
him, it would be his decision as to when he pressed the shutter
button, and that his collaboration would therefore have a big
impact on the outcome of the project. Prior to the
commencement of the shoot Freya and I had collected a range of
clothes. Some were our own, but others came from charity shops.
These we tried out beforehand to test their suitable unsuitability.
The clothes which were very difficult to get on we preferred
because it was this challenge which created awkward the
conditions I was looking for.
As with the previous photo-shoot Freya and I took it upon
ourselves to try on different combinations of clothing. We either
placed clothes upon ourselves or got the other to place the
clothes on us. This was especially challenging with the apparel
which didn’t fit as our efforts became more frantic as we forced
ourselves into these clothes. Pulling a tiny top over the other’s
head or tight trousers that didn’t fit around the waist, a jacket
whose arms were too narrow, or footwear which was too small
caused us to contort our bodies in a manner where they became
misshapen, and this had the effect of dramatically altering our
postures. During all these procedures direction came from not
just me, but also from Freya and Iain. Various clothing suggestions
were enacted with not just Freya and me, but also with Iain
suggesting things we could try out. Because Iain had ultimate
control over the camera he had requested he take certain
sequences of shots which he liked the look of, and this became
part of the output which I eventually worked on.
The photo-shoot took place over the middle of the afternoon
after which I uploaded the images on to the computer. In total
around seven hundred images had been captured.
