For this shoot I am going to take inspiration from a trip to China Town in London, and I am going to photography images which I feel reflect on the idea of astrology and mythology - looking at beliefs, the idea of magic and predicting the future - as well as some imagery which will reflect on the Chinese culture. The Chinese believe in the 12 zodiac symbols, which ties in with the theme of astrology, and somewhat mythology, so I plan to photograph an astrological wheel with some rocks and gemstones, taking close-up shots to capture the fine detail and colour of the different stones. I will also throw in some shots of some traditional Chinese lanterns to add to the theme of my shoot as I think the glowing colour will look stunning against a dark, night background.
Shoot Evaluation:
It took a while to get the camera right to take some macro shots of the stones, but what I did achieve is exactly what I wanted and the colours look really stunning against each other, which adds to the magical them of the shoot. With the shoot also, I took some shots of the sky as it was quite cloudy that night, which I may use for surrealist experiments.
