Our recce visit to Ryan’s property helped with refining my idea and to start picturing how each set up will be constructed. I plan to shoot in a bedroom with a window that faces South West, which will allow for a little sunlight late in the day. Although the home is ground level the backyard is graded, which the bedroom faces. This may become a challenge as an artificial light set up outdoors probably won’t be high enough for the window. In addition, the recce revealed the following observations:

• Overall the natural light available is quite low
• Latte coloured walls
• Polished, wooden floorboards
• Empty space that will reverberate
• 2 GPOs available in the bedroom
• End of April schedule, so likely overcast exterior and possible rain
• Sun set approx. 5:50pm

Since the recce I feel my initial idea needs to be developed. The space is a recently sold family home and empty, dusty and silent. So it makes more sense to exploit this natural setting, rather than trying to fill it back up with life. On another note, I don’t have access to a car at the moment so (gratefully) need to rely on Kerry and Ryan to transport the equipment.

Looking back at these photos, I took them in mind for my “bedroom” concept but regret not taking photos of the entire space and surrounding rooms.
