Below are my favourite outcomes in response to the candid portraiture, as they are interesting and eyecatching.
final image one
This is one of my final outcomes because I enjoy the dramatic pose the individual is performing and the natural face they are making. The background is not distracting from the pose, meaning it is the most important thing in the image. If I were to take this photograph again, I would try to not cut off the feet, to allow for the photograph to be more aesthetically pleasing. I would also try to take a close up of the face, meaning I would have more of a selection when it came to picking my final images.
final image two
This is one of my final images, as I like the expression on the individuals face, as it is very strong and focused. I also like the way I have edited the background to make it more interesting and attractive. If I were to take this photograph again, I would try to make sure the face was more in focus, meaning I could gain a much stronger picture. I would also try to take this shot from different angles, as I seem to shoot from the same angle, meaning all my photographs look similar and that can be boring for the viewer.
final image three
This is one of my final images because I find have really captured a truly candid shot, as the expression on the individuals’ face is natural and silly. When planning this photoshoot I intended to capture photographs similar to this, as I wanted to capture joy and happiness on my individuals face. This photograph captures the same essence as one of ROBERT FRANKS photographs (displayed below), as they both display the same facial expression. Even though the face is not in focus, I think it still looks sharp as the background is in focus. If I were to take this photograph again, I would try to get more light into the individuals’ eye, as it is dull and not illuminated. To do this, I could have positioned myself in a better place, or increased the exposure a touch more, when I edited the photograph.
whole shoot evaluation
Overall, i felt these pictures came out very well. Even though this was my first time using my camera to take pictures of people, I was impressed with my own camera skills. I don’t think many of my images related to ROBERT FRANK, as they didn’t all capture the same things he did. However, I really do like most of the photographs because of how bright, and interesting they are to look at. if I were to do this whole shoot again, I think I would try to capture my individual more times, even when walking around the gym, meaning I would have more images to choose from when picking out final images.
