Shoot plan changed last minute on the 26th June 2013.
Sadly my model was unable to do the shoot last minute so I had to ask my daughter to do the shoot for me. Luckily I have my own studio set up at home and I was able to do the shoot last minute.
My original Idea and concept was to have a white British woman in a Sari with the use of the peace sign and her reflection in water. As I have changed my plan to use a child I had my daughter who is white British model for me. I thought about her being playful and relaxed in the shoot feeling comfortable in her own skin by her wearing the Sari and Indian head wear she is not afraid to show diversity and adapt to other cultures and wear different attire that would relate to a different religion or culture other than her own.
Here is one of my images from the shoot and this is my favourite image from the selection I have chosen to display.
Image 1, By J. Morrison - shot in a studio with 2 x lights one umbrella to the left of my model low down and another light placed to the right hand side using a softbox. I have used a black cloth background and foreground to create a mood and to bring out the reds in the Sari worn by the model.
Canon 40D - ISO 100 - Aperture F8, Shutter speed 1/125th. No flash used just constant light from both sides.
The name I have chosen for the image and project is New Generations. I wanted to show that in modern society it is becoming more and more common that we are finding that the younger/ newer generations are adapting to modern culture and religion. This could be down to education at home or in schools by introducing a balanced teaching method in all schools regardless of the schools beliefs.

In this image I have asked Robyn to show me the peace sign in India and she new it was like the Ok sign we use. I would of liked to have got it more sharp on her eye maybe however I have blurred her face more in post editing to bring the focus to her hand and fingers. What Robyn is doing is saying its ok to be what you want to be, wear what you want and feel comfortable in your path in life.
Although I have changed my shoot plan at the end I still managed to get across diversity in my image and the look that I was originally going for. If the Youth today can adapt to all religions, beliefs and culture then there is hope that the New Generation's of today will change this world for the better.
My original set up Set up of lights. This is similar to what I had at home just a smaller version.
