Inspiration and my shoot:
The inspiration behind this shoot that I completed was a photographer called 'Yago Partal'. He combined both animal heads and human bodies to create one subject. This is what I decided to do due to the fact that I used both animals and humans previously in my first shoot. For this second shoot, I took three separate shoots that would be put together. The first one was capturing the models in the studio and the second one was capturing the models on location. I decided to do both studio and location to mix it up a little and make it as varied as possible. For the location shoot, I went around my town and captured the models standing in front of a variety of different backgrounds including a brick wall and coloured glass window etc. I thought it would be a good idea to do this because it mixed the photographs up and made them broader. For the third and final shoot, I went to the zoo in order to capture the animal heads. I think that this shoot went suprisingly well as I managed to capture a lot of different animals looking directly at the camera lens. I then went on to photoshop the heads on the animals onto the model's bodies to create a final photograph. I think that this shoot was quite different in terms of editing and I think that some of the shots worked well but it was quite hard to photoshop the animal heads well enough to make it look realistic on the model's bodies.

My work:
This photograph was one of my favourites from the animal shoot. I think that it was one of my favourites because it worked really well and looked quite realistic. I decided to put a shot of a llama's head onto the model's body because I thought it would look different and it would work well - due to the fact that the shape of the llama's head. I also think that the brick background makes the overall photograph look more interesting because it allows for the model to stand out against it. The positioning of the model is centred and I think that this makes the photograph look more professional. I also think that the body language/positioning of the model creates a professional look due to the fact that he has casual clothing on and has his hands tucked in his jumper pockets. I think that this shot worked well because of the way the head has been placed. If I were to re-do this photograph, I would change the position of the model and allow for more body movement/positioning.
This photograph was one of my least favourite photographs that I edited. This is due to the fact that the goat's face did not quite fit well onto the model's body. I thought that it was too hard to photoshop the goat's head from the body without losing shape. I tried as hard as I could to do so and lost a little bit of the bottom part of the head. I then placed the goat's head onto the body and realised that it did not look good and therefore I decided not to use it as a straight print. I think that the background used within the photograph doesn't work too well because of the natural lighting within the shot. The bottom half of the background is dark blue compared to the top half which is light blue. This makes the photograph look less professional and distracts from the subject. In terms of editing, I decided that it would be best not to continue with this photograph due to the fact that it didn't look realistic enough. I think that if I were to re-do this photograph, I would try to use a different shot of a goat to try and capture the head better to make it a bit more realistic.
Evaluation and development:
In terms of achieving the aim, I think that I captured what I wanted too and tried my best to do so and therefore succeeded. This is due to the fact I photographed animal's heads onto human bodies - which is exactly what Yago Partal did. In terms of what I want to do next, I would like to include the animal and human theme as one subject again. But this time, focus more on close-up portraits in the studio to capture the model's features more.
