Contact Sheets

Below is one of my contact sheets from my first photoshoot, these are recreations of an older photo which I think is a clear representation of how friends can turn into family. There are also images of my brother in his rugby uniform as its also a recreation of a image from when he was much younger in his first football uniform, I wanted to show this transformation as its able to show time development in my photobook. I have had to edit these quite a bit as the lighting was bad due to these being taken at night as well as in a house with Christmas lights.

Contact Sheets 2

Here is the contact sheets for my second photoshoot, these are group photos of friends who have developed into family as they provide the same support that a ‘normal’ family would. These have better lighting then the ones above but still had to be edited to make them look better for my photobook.

Editing

As the lighting was under exposed and had a pink tint to it I have to increase the contrast and slightly decrease the exposure this was to try and cancel out the underlying tint, I also adjusted the tint setting. I found that it was hard to edit these images as I feel that they were not well taken as well as taken in bad lighting.

Evaluation

Overall I do not think that these were successful photoshoots which is why they have not been used in my final photobook. I found it difficult to find the right lighting as they were taken inside with the first photo shoot being done in the evening. Even though these images have not been used i do like the composition of these photographs as they do portray the classic family portrait but I didn’t feel that they were good enough photos to be displayed in my final piece of work.
