Jiang Zhi Developed Shoot

Statement of Intent:

 

The fire experimentation shoot, was an odd shoot as it wasn't planned. It explored a different medium to water, fire, a more enigmatic and unpredictable element. So for my next shoot I plan to work with fire as I medium inspred by my recent success.
 

I plan to do my next shoot on an artist called Jiang Zhi. I can imagine that the shoot may prove difficult to execute due to the fact that it can be difficult to control fire in such an elegant matter. I will probably use alcohol to soak the flowers before doing the shoot. If that fails I may have to use petrol instead. Unfortunately this is one of them shoots that involves changing things as the shoot progresses so I may have to improvise a little. When doing my research I found that a lot of people imitating his work, use a long exposure around 1/20 to help get silky smooth flames. So I'll probably try this and then adjust it accordingly. In terms of location I was think about doing it in the wood burner in my garden, but again if it doesn't work, I might have to change the location.
