Second Practice Photoshoot - Bearfoot Colombo


For my first photoshoot, I wanted to focus on mainly the camera shots and angles.

I mostly took pictures of inanimate objects since my magazine will consist of those.

Location- BearFoot, Colombo

1 Wide shot


Here I took the shot wide enough to include all the handmade stuffies. The lighting came perfectly in this shot as warm light compliments the stuffies color palate.


2 Mid-level eye shot



When I saw this lantern with the casted shadow behind it, I instantly knew it would be amazing concept photo. But I do wish I was able to take it purely focused just on the lantern by itself without the surrounding objects.

3.Close-up shot




In this shot I was trying to get close-up shot but looking back I see that this looks nothing like a close-up shot. If it was more closer focusing only on the details it would be more of a close-up shot. Will take note of this when I take more shots like this in the future.

4 Dutch angle



I wanted to try a Dutch angle because if I am photographing any people, it will add better dimension than just a standard cowboy shot. Having pictures in the background adds a nice flare to the photo as well. 

Learning outcome
Taking these pictures have set the bench mark for how my photographs should look like. Clearly there is room for improvement. While taking these photographs I first struggled take them clearly but as I took more trial photos I got the hang of it. I learned how I can improve my future photoshoots by making these mistakes.
