Least successful shots –


Contact sheets of my best shots in Lightroom –


Here are some examples of images which I have selected to use:



Sorting system –


For this photoshoot after I had selected the most successful shots in Lightroom I began to use a sorting system to determine the photos that I wanted to use. This was achieved through putting the photos that were successful to an extent but had limitations due to their composition, framing, etc to have 4 stars whereas the photos that I felt confident enough with had 5 stars and were the ones that I will move further with within my work to use for further experimentation and being used for my photobook.
Colour sorting –

How I colour sorted my photos so that I had a strong, successful set of 12 images which I could use was through the further analysis of the photos where I went through them once more. This allowed me to be able to colour the photos yellow if I felt as if they would not work well with the other photos and had slight mishaps within them, whereas the photos which were coloured green represented the images which I thought were the most strong and successful
Best shots to use in my Photobook –

These are the best shots which I have selected to use in creation of my photobook and for editing later on. This is because I liked how there was a diverse range between people/animals, close ups of shots of plants or different textures and a variety of landscape shots. I enjoyed this photoshoot but I do not think that it was my most successful. Therefore, if I were to do it again, I would go on a different day where the weather would be gloomier, this is due to the sun in some of the images where it creates a bright background. I also think that some of these images would work well if they had a darker background where the sun was not creating a lot of light on to them or if it was raining, it would give the different objects that I have photographed a different texture which could create a variety of contrasting textures with these photos and previous ones from different photoshoots.
