Technical file- Go Bo experiment


Technical file- Go Bo week 5...
This week we looked at the Go Bo and how it creates different effects in the background, this was new to me and I was excited to see how the shots came out. It was new and I enjoyed seeing the shots look completely different by such a simple yet effective piece of equipment.

I have included what we did and imagery of our lesson below.



First of all we set up with the stand and attaching the Go Bo on the end, we made sure the area was clear to avoid trip hazards with leads etc. We connected the lead with the IMAC computer so we could all see the effects it had on the face. I liked the fact he introduced this to us, as it makes us become more creative and makes us think, that there is a vast amount of out there to achieve your desired looks. 


We also grabbed a stand so we could play around with blocking the light in different angles by using our hands to do so, for example to darken half the face out and only expose the other half making the image appear fierce, mysterious and I loved the results of this. I feel when carrying this out it wouldn't fit my brand because I couldn't find any imagery in NARS campaigns that this is done in, however, it opens my mind and ideas for future projects, so this excites me.


Once we set up, we took turns modelling and taking pictures, I took a few images to show the concept and how our room was set up for the task itself t remind how to do it in future shoots.
With the Go Bo, you get a choice to choose a certain pattern to reflect on the back drop, we all chose the wild tree, erie one to create mystery which will all agreed on, I loved the effect it gave and I feel this would be ideal for a mystery, or fantasy shoot.
