The Action Plan:

Originally I wasn’t to ken on the idea of Street photography, as this wasn’t normally my cup of tea. My initial plan was to go out into town (Jersey) and just walk around and see what happens. I had planned to start at the top of town and slowly work my way down. i want to take photographs on different days including different weather conditions. I wanted to do this as I hoped there would be a contrast in the public’s behaviors and emotions expressed through their body language and facial expressions. Amusing to have capture more stressed and unpleasant facial expression and body language on a wet, windy day compared to a warm sunny day which would most likely present the opposite emotions.  Fortunately  I was lucky enough to have gone traveling around Europe with my family, and after looking closely back at my photographs that I took on the holiday it was clear that street photography can come a lot more naturally than most people would believe. So i had a new action plan, as well as my local photographs I used most from my travels as they proved to be a lot more of extravagant out come.

My favorite images:

Original to edited

This image was particularly one of my favorite images as it if originally such a busy image with so much going. Including different types of people, a famous statue on the right in Barcelona, and the trees providing the image with a feel f symmetry. For the edited version i turned it in to an older looking image using the specific filter however emphasized brighter colors in the original image as white so the image still has the contrast of colors. From a darker gloomier feel to the image with the sharp white shades seeping through.

I took this image whilst walking through France, Marseilles, this particular shop really stood out to me whilst passing by due the vibrant colors emphasized by the products in the shop. The is some what formality to the image, this is seen through the layout of the shop with the man tidying up, giving an extremely natural feel to the image. When editing and manipulating this particular image I wanted to try come thing completely different to my previous image. So therefore to completely contrast i emphasized all the brighter colors so they poop out of the image. However to make the images brighter the natural light needed to be dimmer so I manipulated the exposure to a much lower setting. This image to me now has a completely different feel and story to its original image.
