SHOOT CONCEPTS – JIM FISHER

this is my active list of shoot ideas I want to work on next.

CANDID PORTRAITS.

Experiment with candid-style portrait work.

WATER PORTRAITS.

Experiment with art portrait work with a water theme.

Album covers
A photobook that is a visual companion to a playlist/album
Cafe portrait session – at tables, through windows, etc
Portrait/cityscape composites. Combine portraits with cityscapes into a composite image.
Short films. Just take your concepts for stills and shoot them in video as well. Play with movement and editing. Use playlist tracks as soundtracks.
Autofocus control practice. Explore the autofocus settings and figure out how to control what the autofocus focuses on.
City light abstracts – creative focus and blurs for abstract photographs.
Focal range. Explore shooting the same shot with different focal lengths and compare the results.
Location scouting – explore the other side of Santee, in the fashion district.
SHOT IDEA – triptych portrait, same basic composition for three shots that will be composed into one portrait; splits between frames are composed so subject has hands up in top, then near waist in middle, then by legs in bottom. Should have a Shiva look.
4×4 block where subject interacts with themselves between the frames, one guiding the eye into the next, in a complete circuit.

concepts I like in general but not into working on right now.

Erotic VS Nude. One shot showing a fully-dressed model in an erotic pose, second shot fine art nude in a classic pose.
