SHOOT 4.0

Shoot 4.0

As simple as this shoot may seem, it was trickier than one may suspect. The angle and positioning of my hand and body had to be just right or the image would not be of the standard that I require for my feed. This image will be used as a ‘filler’ image. In other words, this will go in between two images of me to break up my feed while keeping it cohesive.

People underestimate the power of filler pictures as they are usually used to break up the main pictures of the feed. While they don’t gain much traction from an audience, the role of the filler pictures on an Instagram feed is to ensure cohesion of my aesthetic while still representing my style and brand. I feel I have achieved this with this shoot as it will fit with the themes uncovered in Shoot 2 and 3. The key thing I learned with this shoot was that I need to allocate time for filler pictures as although they may not seem as important as the full face or body images, they are time-consuming and important to get right.

Reference croquis for shoot 4. These images were ideas of how I could set up my shoot.

Warmth, saturation and shadows slightly increased in editing to create a moodier effect and maintain a cohesive social media feed.
