Unit 1 - 1.2 Explore creative processes within the context of the creative industries (Yelena Yemchuk)

Add this work to the end of the 'Creative Process' design sheet/PPT. 

Title it...

"Unit 1 - 1.2 Explore creative processes within the context of the creative industries"

You'll then have to write up your own detailed account of how the shoot came together. In some part this will be speculation, but all you have to do is use the images found via the link below and make observations relating to what she said in relation to the research and explain and point to the evidence you can see that would support the idea that the shoot came together potentially using a process similar to the one we use...

When it comes to the reflection aspect refer to the exposure mistake that she's attempted to rectify and correct at the printing stage. 

*Use the images via the link below to support your work. 

Prompts...

What evidence is there that she "Researched"
Explain what she may have gained by reflecting on the research... Post research reflection
Looking at the pictures... she's used professional models, they're style in 1960's clothing - explain what planning may have been involved Planning.
The images obviously demonstrate the fact that the plan was executed (The 'Doing' phase).
Your explanation relating to whether there's any evidence of reflection needs to point out that she got the exposure wrong (Indicate where this is apparent) and explain as a professional photographer this is a bad mistake and she would have reflected on how she got that so wrong and figured out what she needs to do in future to ensure that doesn't happen.

In relation to the fact that your photography projects develop over a series of stages and this is not the case with professional shoots - they may have been preceded by 'Test shoots' though... When confronted by very challenging shoots, it's not unknown for photographers to conduct 'Pre-shoots' with their assistants where they test out aspects they're unsure of to make sure they get it right on the day. 

Primarily the development aspect e.g. the repetition of Plan - Execute (Do) - Reflect just happens by virtue of shooting continuously on different jobs.
