For my first photoshoot, I took photographs down the harbour skatepark over the course of a day and took 318 photographs over this day. I used the flagging option in Adobe Lightroom to narrow down the images taken which left me with 123 photographs, which were still too many.

I then took the photos which I flagged and then used the rating system in Lightroom to narrow down the images again to my favourite, which left me with 11 final images, while narrowing down the images I edited a lot of them but only kept my 11 favourite edits to use within the photobook I am creating for this study.

The majority of my final edits were mostly action shots of skateboarders, but also included a couple images of the skateboarding community in the skatepark.

Best Shoot 1 Edits

I decided that most of the images that I wanted to include within my photobook to be black and white, this is because I believe it made a lot of the images look a lot more effective. It also draws the eyes of the viewer towards the skateboarders within the photographs, and not anywhere else on the image where there may be distracting colours or other subjects. I selected these images as my best edits as, I believe they are the most interesting photographs I took during this shoot and look the coolest out of all of them.
