Photographic Project Reflection: First shoot

The whole Sunday was planned to have all my shoots. Some was in the morning with the day light and the second set was in the evening when my children had a bath time with the key lightning from the back and the side in the dark and some with the bathroom lights on. I took hand-held photographs with Canon 700D and began with the F3.6. I shoot black & white images only. Then I have created contact sheet and start to analyse them to see what I need to improve and change to create my perfect set of photographs for my project.  

Next I added some of my creations made over the weekend. I have done some shots outside and inside the house and now I will go through settings with some of my work. 

F4.6, ISO 400, 1/5, -0.6, FL50

F4.3, ISO 400, 1/15, EXPOSURE 0, FL35

The two images above shows how I started to experiment with the mirror and through the wet glass. Good framing and great composition with the natural light. The first image should be more clear, shutter was to slow but overall there I had some practice with the settings. Then I went for a walk around the little forest and have done some more  images in natural light with ISO 200 having fun with the sticks and around the trees. Below you can see some work from the outside.

Later, in the evening, I have done some shots in the bath experimenting reflection, three key lightning. I used foam, mirror and lightning from behind and the side and that's what came out of the creation. There are some examples of my work below in black&white during the bath time.

The photo below creates the look of foot next to the head.

After the sessions outside and inside the house there are some good shots of mirror reflection and I want to show in my project maybe some surrealism, creating strange images, using imagination to create a visual arttistic photographs.
