Staged Project

Here is another project we did in my Black and White class. This project is all staged, I took my friend to a gas station, a bus stop, and a laundry mat while she was dressed up in a prom dress. I did this because its uncommon to see someone in a dress at these places. We were getting different comical views as we were doing the photo-shoot and someone even asked her to prom.

This is her outside the gas station smoking a cigarette. 

She was thirsty so she had to buy a drink, yes we went inside. The clerks even thought it was funny!

Here is the bus stop image, I really like this photo because I had to use a long exposure time since it was dark out and when I took the picture a car happened to be driving by.

At the bus stop again.

I told her when there aren't any cars coming go out to the middle of the street and twirl around. She thought I was crazy but ended up having a lot of fun!

Then we go into the laundry mat, the lady at the desk when asked if it was okay responded with 'Yea, we have never had a photo-shoot done in here before thats cool.' This is where we picked up our friend John, who you see standing in the mirror of the game. 

And here is the last picture of them at the laundry mat, we had so much fun doing this project but it was still a challenge. My friend has a lot of energy and loves the camera so it was a challenge for me to get her to do what I wanted her to do. Overall the pictures came out great and I am really wanting to do more of these and make a series.
