Final selection of images.

I wanted to keep similar images within the final selection so that when I construct my photobook and can choose which compositions work better with the other images in the book.

In this shoot I wanted to focus on the landscape and have different perceptions of the heavily photographed places where people usually get an average sunset picture. I did this shoot to get some interesting images to fill the photobook as I do not have any old photos which link to this location but still wanted to include it because as a family we visit St Catherine’s often and is one of the rare moments where we do something all together.

The soft lighting in these images is something I intend on having in all my future images if possible.

When comparing my images to my artist references this shoot resembles the work of Shipla Grupta, because in her project Altered Inheritances- 100 (Last Name) Stories some of the images in the sequences have a similar composition. In certain images she has focused on one thing and photographed that in the centre of the image, making it the clear focal point.
