We needed a dark room and a black background. Zach's room was in the corner of the house and didn't produce much light, and by using black cloth over the floor meant that it was just what we needed to shoot with. We used a soft box to create a natural light effect.
We lay the crumpled shirt down over the black cloth and rearranged it to look more edgy, making sure that the arm of the shirt was slightly rounded, to fit the crime scene numbers along the side of it.
Finally, we laid out all the numbers around the edge of the shirt, making sure that each number was straight and was the same distance.
After all of the shooting, we realised that it would be better and easier if we just shot the shirt and took pictures of the numbers individually, meaning that we could add them to the photo in PhotoShop.
We took the single shot of the shirt and edited it, to show it in black and white. Over the coming week we will be adding the crime scene numbers onto the original picture by PhotoShop.
