I cropped a bit off of the side of this image and the bottom so that the worker was in the place i wanted and the composition was right. The image was taken from a front on view point with the camera looking directly at the persons face this creates an original environmental portrait. The image was taken so that his whole body was in the image with an even boarder as i wanted people to be able to see the work they were doing. When editing the image i made sure the portrait was central so that they were the focal point. i wanted this image to break the rule of thirds as i like the simplistic effect of the worker being the focus of the image. The original image didnt have high contrast to begin with so when editing i turned the image black and white and increased the brightness and contrast so there was a bigger contrast between pure white and pure black. the image is over exposed and under exposed in different parts to create an even contrast. I blurred the background of the image so that the man was the complete focal point of the image, i also blurred the background because it was messy and took away from the image. i blurred the image to a radius of 22 so that it was blurred but not to harsh.
