image selection

Leave a comment

Below I have started focusing on looking through all of my images and making decisions on whether or not they will be used in my project, I have created and explained a visual system that will help me make better decisions about my photographs, the colours and ratings also help compare the usefulness of my images.

Colour Coding System:

  • Purple- images with high relevance and high quality
  • Green- images with high relevance to my project but have low quality
  • Yellow- images that didn’t turn out as well as expected but could still be used
  • Red- images that will not be being used in my project

Furthermore, the star rating system helps when judging one photograph in comparison with another, weighing up how aesthetic these images are and not just about how relate to my project. I think that these systems combine help with editing as well, as I don’t need to look through all of my photographs before editing.

I have created this selection of 6 photographs as I think they are the best from the shoots and have a lot of potential within my project, I think its important to include examples of some of my best work with some of my work which could do with a lot of improving in order to keep learning what works and what doesn’t in photography. Furthermore, I think these images work well as a set, of course they were taken at the same locations but they all link to my theme of consumption.

Here I have included some examples of my best and worst images from my second photoshoot, I have used the same system as before however I don’t have as many images to give examples on. I think that the number of potential final images in this photoshoot was far less but they will still be used in my final piece. Furthermore, these images link to my theme of overpopulation and these are photographs are of good quality.

Image Sub-selection

Below I have included some of my best images so far, this is before editing and is part of my sub selection process and they have the most potential to be used in my project. I think this is an important part of the process before editing and it allows for a faster editing process as the focus is already on the better images.
