When we last spoke about the cinematic photography brief that I was doing for uni, I was talking about driving out into the Australian countryside and taking a series of photos based on isolated breakdown thrillers with a hint of ozploitation. In planning the shoot, I wanted to get the feeling of ‘Wolf Creek meets Picnic At Hanging Rock’. The model (my sister Emm) and was dressed in a white summer dress and heels, and I made her run around deserted yellow fields that we were technically trespassing on. Credit to my photog assistant (ie. Dad) too, who drove us around until we found what I finally declared to be the perfect location. It was a bright, hot and clear summer day with beautiful blue skies, so I played with the colours quite a bit.
The full set is up on Flickr here.
Awesome! You put them up. They look amazing. Did the class/tutor/teacher like them?
Yeah, they did actually. Although I presented the whole set and it was way too many, so the class narrowed it down to the series of ‘running’ photos.
