Photoshoot #4
I am doing the last session for my project out of the need to complete the story I want to tell. Therefore, it is a middle session that has yet to be made. After reviewing the photos I took earlier, I thought a few elements were missing, without which I could not feel the work was completed. Therefore, I'm planning on taking a series of photos to show better composition, straight from the movie, and more liminal space. Fascinated by this topic, I'm planning on using the acquired knowledge best. For this, I'm considering the following:
Location:
It makes your job easier when you can take pictures from the comfort of your own home.
Equipment:
- Canon 5D mark iv camera
- Manfrotto Tripod
- Lenses: 50mm, 16-35mm
- Shutter Release Remote Controller
Technique:
I will try to use the acquired knowledge in the field of film stills and the principles of liminal space.

Photoshoot #4 Post-evaluation
The premise of this session was to complement the previous ones so that the story was straightforward. I believe it succeeded. Of course, the session was not without a few problems at this stage. At first, I thought I would use daylight, but it soon turned out that additional artificial light was needed in some shots. For this, I used a softbox that I currently have. In addition, at first, I wanted to use a ten-second shutter release delay, but it turned out that the pictures were blurry. Instead, I used the shutter speed remote controller for autofocus, where the pictures came out fine.
What is more, the limitation of space was a problem, so I decided to take narrower frames. Overall, I'm happy with this session. Compared to session no. Three, it turned out much better regarding the course and planning. I was also able to use the knowledge of liminal space here.
Lightroom / Photoshop:
Apart from improving the optics, I used Liquify, Patch tool and I also changed the photo profile to black and white.
