This shoot was because skating is a form of travelling, without harming the environment and often one see’s travelers with skate boards when exploring new places nearby to their camp set-up.

The reason for capturing the model driving, is because I didn’t just want to capture the moment, but I wanted to capture how we got to that place, the journey that happened to live these moments. This represented how I went from one shoot to the next, as if it was a journey I went on, and not staged shoots.

The image below works well as the focal point is on the models head/hat, this shows his long hair which he’s covering by the hat, but also focus’ on the tye-dye which is on the hat, both of these aspects tend to be associated with people who are free spirits etc. therefore representing the people on the journey to the viewer subconsciously. The negative space on the windows, caused by the over exposure from the lighting outside, creates a frame around the model and therefore isn’t too distracting from the image.

This image works well as he’s skating along the white line in the middle of the road, therefore drawing your eyes to him immediately as he’s in the center third and he’s breaking up the white line which your eyes are drawn to. For this image, I love the style as he’s doing a skating trick and therefore showing that this is a hobby of his and he’s not just got on a skate board for my shoot. He’s the most detailed subject in the image, and he’s the most important, which was hard to capture as he’s the subject which is moving in the image yet the road and the banks are the aspect which are out of focus.

The image below is one of my favorite photographs from this shoot, this is due to the composition, as I was sat down on the bank on the side of the road I was taking the images from below. Therefore it made the road look more interesting, as it looks as if the white lines are merging into the sky, and therefore looking as if the road takes you into the sky, this is just due to the angle I’ve taken the photograph and the way the road goes up and then down. Also the image works nicely, because of the composition the models head is against the negative space (the sky) and therefore making one focus on his face almost immediately as the brightest space is where you immediately look which is the sky and then your eyes go to him.
