Joiners Work Diary

Description of the shoot:

After learning what joiners were and how to construct them, I photographed a model form lots of different angles and different perspectives. I made sure I got some from quite far away but some from close up so I could get a variety of perspectives in the end result. I also wanted one picture that was from a straight angle where you could see the whole face to use as a 'starting point' for when I was to construct the joiner.

Final outcome:

This was my end result of my portrait joiner. The main idea I wanted to use was the middle of the picture would be the model looking to the front then on both sides the focus of the model gradually travelling to the sides. Within this I think I have a good variety of far away and close pictures. I had to crop some of the pictures to make each one sort of link together. I did this so all the individual pictures didn't look to random which make the whole thing quite confusing and disjointed.

This is the individual picture that I used as my starting point for my joiner. I thought it worked well as this as her whole face is in it so I could then work around it. Also I think it had a nice effect as this was in the very centre of the picture.

Images from the internet:

This was the picture that is also included in my joiners image bank, that inspired me to produce the type of joiner that I did. This is because I like how in this picture the middle was a front view of the girl and then either side is the view of the girl turning inwards, whereas mine is just turning outwards instead.

Progression:

If I had a chance to re do this shoot, I would probably also try and consider the body of the model more as I only shot the face and hair. If I shot from further away I could have manipulated the body shape and form to create a potentially quite interesting picture.
