shoot (sb1)

I was aiming to communicate the story of an 80s office worker through this shoot, giving the audience a sort of narrative through the images. I chose a small office room within the university to take the images, using props such as book, paper, pens and plants i believe i was able to effectively communicate a humorous yet realistic scenario, showcasing the ties by someone who would of worn them, and in a reminiscent of the 80s.

Above are some of my favourite images from the shoot, each edited in order to look like the image was taken on a film camera in the 80's. The model followed my direction really well, he was able to get in to character and show the ties and also provide a humorous side to the shoot, which is what i set out to achieve. I gave some direction during the shoot of the type of emotion he should try and present, as i was trying to communicate the many different emotions an office worker may have during a working week.
The first set of 5 images are trying to communicate Tom as being stressed, the images have been made a lot warmer in order to compliment the warm tones of the tie.
The second set of images is trying to show Tom as if he's presenting a presentation to colleagues, showing him feeling confident. And the final images show Tom taking a break at the offices water fountain, joking to co workers and thinking about what club he's going to go to later tonight.
