Shoot 7 - Shadows/disembodiment - Work Diary

This shoot develops upon shoot 5 a little bit with the idea of taking two photos of an area one with a person the other without and editing them together so that only the shadow of the person is left.  It was not overly difficult to do but it was fairly time consuming and annoying as even the slightest movement of the camera between the two shots meant that they didn't match up properly when it came to editing and the sun kept being hidden by clouds which meant no shadows to take photos of.

This image is quite effective for the idea of disembodiment as there is a shadow without anything to actually cast it upon the ground it is just their by itself.

This photo I think is pretty good just by itself but the disembodied shadow just adds another layer to and kinda hints to something that is missing from the image.

The fact that this is extremely weather dependent makes me not really want to progress with it especially since there is usually not that much sun in or around England let alone Harlow, I also think that the amount of time and effort required for it is not worth it for the outcome at the end.
