These are the final four images that I have chosen from my grandparents shoot at their local church. I haven’t had time to edit these images yet, but when I do I would like to edit the lighting as some of the images have a yellow/orange tinge.
This is a photograph of the main feature of the church. The stain glass window was put in, in the year 2000 when the church was refurbished. It was donated by Mourant and Jeune Families. The master piece was created by Neil Mckenzie who as well as being a stain glass window artist is also a great lover of Boarder collies. Neil includes them in everyone of his stain glass window creations.
I really love this stain Glass window because it is the main statement in the church, and everything else inside the building is positioned around it. It involves a great about of bold beautiful colours that are very eye catching. My favourite colour on the window is the purple, because when it is a sunny morning it catches the light and creates a beautiful colour.
This candle is in the main area of the church and is lit every service. my Grandma is usually the person to light the candle as she arrives an hour before the service to prepare the church. The candle represents Jesus being the light of the world, I like that everything in a church has a meaning or a representation behind it. I think it makes everything more interesting and intriguing.
I think this is a powerful image because of the light of the candle reflecting in my Grandma’s glasses, especially because of the strong meaning behind the lit candle. Also the wooden cross in the background of the photograph.
This is my portrait of Rev. Graeme Halls, that I took this Sunday. He usually takes the GeorgeTown services however this weekend he was taking the remembrance celebration at Cenotaph. His wife, Elaine, made him his stole especially for this occasion. The stole is so beautiful and includes so many bright colours which are very attractive to look at.
I like how Graeme is positioned, he has a very straight posture, which makes him very welcoming and nice to photograph. His hands are positioned in front of him, in a very natural way and his face is smiling, but not at the camera.
This is the last photograph from my finals from my church shoot. It is of my Grandpa who is changing into his organ shoes. It is a strong image because it is an action shot, and you can see the movement in the left foot. He is positioned directly in the middle of the image with the leading lines from the steps leading the eye toward him. He is also the darkest thing in the photograph, therefore the eye is attracted straight to him. There is a poppy display to the right of him which is a bold object to have in an image.
