To begin, I wanted to find a theme to focus on. Because my Specialist Industry Practice is in Advertising and Product photography, I decided to use the technique of a Lotus Blossom mind map to decide on a good topic to do. I used this to create 8 different topics and think of different things that I could do to expand on those ideas.
The 3 that I would like to mainly focus on are drinks, food and aqueous. I will be conducting a test shoot for each of these ideas over the first week to decide which one I like the style of more and which one I would like to continue doing. Alongside this, I will be doing research into the different areas to increase my knowledge in the specialisation for future use. With all of these topics, I will be improving my technique in physical prop making and altering, studio technique and camera control to ensure a good quality outcome.
