The aperture for a lens is the size of the gap allowing light in on the photograph. A lower aperture means a bigger shutter size giving the effect of an increased blur in the depth of field. A higher aperture is a small shutter size resulting in a more precised and detailed photograph in total.
In my experiment I adjusted the aperture from f5, f10, f15, f20, f25 and f30. I demonstrated how the depth of field is affected by the size of the shutter size resulting in a more leveled style of blurriness behind the person. By using this technique, we can create a more personnel and intimate style of photograph where we focus on the desired point easier.
The Brainstorms below show my initial thoughts and ideas about the Street Photography shoot. It contains things such as what type of people I will be trying to capture, old people,babies. It also contains different groups like Tourists or Buskers. All types of people that we are likely to see in Town.
The brainstorms also contain the different locations that I will be taking the photos in. This helps me to plan before hand so that I don’t waste time during the photo shoot. The different type of places includes the Market, or along the Main street. I’ve also noted some techniques that I could use. Such as, Using reflections and the different angles.
During my Shoot, I will also be taking influence, and using ideas from other Photographers. The main photographer that I will be using is Christophe Debon. Like him, I will be trying to capture a vast amount of Characters and interesting people. Christophe mainly uses old people in his images. All his photos are very dreamlike, and therefore I will be trying to copy his technique. As well as Christophe Debon, I will also be taking inspiration form Bruce Gilden and Trente Parke.
