For this shoot i focused my photographs on people in a work environment. I wanted to capture photographs of people doing manual jobs showing them in action but still focus on them and their expression to whether they are happy, sad and any other emotions they might have to their working environment. I will edit these photos so that they are black and white to stop the colour taking away from the portrait

Kelvin Scale
The Kelvin Scale is a more intricate way to edit the white balance on your camera. It is simply a unit of measurement for temperature and in photography we most often use it to measure the color temperature of light sources. The temperature scale most often used in photography ranges from about 2000K (K=Kelvin) to 9000K.
White Balance Experimentation – Nikon
White balance allows you to edit the lighting of your image as you are in the field doing a photo shoot. You can use the white balance settings on your camera to make the colours in your image more balanced or simply for bringing out colours in the image. For example, if you are in a shaded location you can change the white balance to the shady option. In this experimental shoot i took photos using all the white balance tones from direct sunlight to incandescent. My contact sheets show how these settings can change the tone of the image.

Dorothea Lange
My initial feeling for this image is that i am interested in it and feel connected to it. I feel emotionally connected to this image as it tells a story and . The image is dramatic and immediately stood out to me due to the contrast between light and dark. The placement of the people in the images makes it have more depth and not just be a pointless photo. The photographer has placed the woman in the center, breaking the rule of thirds, so that she is the focal point to the image drawing your eye to her.
Daniel Joseph Martinez
I didn’t have an immediate positive emotional connection to this image however i was intrigue by the image as it is an abstract photo and different to normal portraits i have come across. This image contains leading lines by he scar on the mans head and leads my eye through the image. my feelings towards this image is sad as it makes me think something bad has happened to him to need an operation. the use of colour blue also indicates a cold tone to the photograph.
Cindy Sherman
I immediately didn’t like this image because the photo looks as though it is fake and the stance the woman is doing makes me feel uncomfortable. i also do not like the clashing colours that make the image bold. i feel that the whole image doesn’t fit together and there is no story behind the photograph. The photograph is breaking the rule of thirds and is in the centre of the image to capture your eye however due to the lack of depth i am still not drawn towards this image.
