Works Experience: Day six

The final photo shoot focused on the completed venue space and the interplay between the new room’s fixtures and its lighting. The finished space looked completely transformed once the new lighting system was switched on. The entire venue appeared unified and inviting, with clearly designated areas for drinking, dancing and socializing. I wanted to further explore the role symmetry and geometric shapes played in the feel of the room and spent the majority of my time photographing the different rectangular shapes around the room which seemed to stand out even more with their new, accentuated lighting schemes.

This was a great opportunity for me to try and illustrate the transformative power of colour in this development. I focused primarily on the bar and the stage areas. The bar, which made great use of light, shape and space was very attractive and its dimensions seemed to change with the changing colours of the lights around it. I felt it was essential that I do my best to try and highlight this as it was probably the most important area of the space and would have the greatest impact in terms of “before and after” shots. The developer was very impressed with these and asked if he could use them himself. Overall, I came away from this experience feeling more confident and capable of creating a visual story through my camera lens.
