I have been researching deeply into irrational fears and phobias. Two of the most common phobias are Aquaphobia (fear of water) and  Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). I am interested in the idea of enocorpirating textiles and nature together as a main theme in my photography. I have been looking at wide open spaces and felt that the sea shore would be a perfect location for my shoot. The sea can be both calming and disturbing depending on a persons perspective. Looking out to sea from the shore shows a wide open space however it is unknown what is under the sea. I thought this idea was quite interesting to experiment with. I chose to do a series of shots where my model is stood out in the open space. As the shoot date was in November it was cold and windy and the sea was rough, I thought this was really important for the shoot as it meant the fabric movement and the models hair was out of my control (people with an irrational fear feel it is out of their control). I particularly like the image where my model is stood in the sea and the wind has lifted her hair. My model looks almost possessed in this image. I also experimented with different photography techniques such as long exposure. I really like this style of photography as I feel it works well with the dark and gloomy monochrome theme. I edited all the photos into black and white as I wanted the shoot to look chilling and unnerving. I do not think this photoshoot was right for what I was trying to achieve and I need to plan it out and do its again. I will be using this photoshoot as a test shoot as I feel I need to research further into the specific fears to capture exactly the right shots, as I do not want the images to be extremely obvious what they mean.
