For this homework I photographed 4 different environments and displayed them in a contact sheet where I have identified key features which helped me make selections for the images i want to use and edit.

For this photo shoot i visited my dad at his work and photographed him doing what he would normally do. I chose this image as one of my final images as the environment clearly portrays him as a carpenter. The wooden poles, the ladder and the way he is dressed also indicate this. I also like the higher angle I took the photo at as it gives another perspective of the environment. I turned the photo black and white to emphasise the shadows gradually getting darker towards the corner of the room. It shows a varied range of tones, the lightest point being the window and the darkest being the floor and shadows that are created.

For this photo shoot I chose my Grandad to photograph and selected this image as my final image for that shoot. I think it clearly shows his face using natural light which is better compared to the other photos I took indoors with artificial lighting. Although the environment he is surrounded by does not clearly represent him as a person I like the bold, strong lines which I think represent his character and what it was like being born in 1939, the year in which World War II began and what it was like growing up.

I also chose this photograph as one of my final images as i like the angle and the natural lighting that is used. This photo does not display the environment as effectively as the other photographs as although she is standing outside her house, the surroundings do not indicate much about her character. I experimented with this photo adjusting the colours to try and make the photograph more effective.

I have selected these 4 images to represent this homework as I think they show the varied environments which I photographed as they are all completely different.
