Portraiture – Norwich, Norfolk

Norwich – via Google Maps

Over the Easter term break, I spent a week with my friends in Norwich, visiting the fair in the city and exploring the area. While doing this, I also brought my camera with me to take some portrait images for my school project.

As I didn’t have access to any artificial light, other than the camera flash, I spent a lot of time experimenting with different camera settings in order to take good images in low lighting.

I took images throughout various locations in the city, some behind corner shops, in the city centre, and even in Mcdonald’s, just to see what did and didn’t work.

My favourite images ended up being the shots taken in natural lighting from the window of my hotel room, which developed contrasts in lighting and against my subjects’ clothing and features.

I gave each image a star and colour rating on Lightroom Classic, based on the quality and how good I thought they’d turn out after editing.

These are all of the images that I edited from the shoots. I experimented with different styles for editing, using the editing presets available in Lightroom and adjusting specific details from there to create unique compositions.
