My Image

I chose this image I took on a trip to Hampton Farm Museum for my analysis as I think that it is a good example of a portrait. I captured one of the actors at the farm straight on while she was preparing yarn for the spinning wheel and telling us the history of the trade. It was a good use of natural lighting as she was set up in the corner of a courtyard in the shade so only a few beams of light came through visible in the image which creates a nice contrast between light and dark. The colours in this image are pretty bland and feature mainly greys, browns and a small amount of green and blue. I didn’t feel like I needed to edit the photo so I levelled the colours and left it as it is.
