For this first photoshoot on environmental portraiture I took photographs around the school of students working or just hanging around in the school. I think this photoshoot could of been much better, I could of included a variety of people instead of using just one model and I also could have taken photographs of teachers. Overall I got a few good photos out of this photoshoot but I could have done a lot better.

For this second photoshoot on environmental portraiture i took photographs of a construction worker, a labourer. In this photoshoot the model was in various different poses holding different objects for example a saw or paintbrush. This photoshoot turned out much better than the first one, I think this because this photoshoot was more planned out and i spent more time on this photoshoot, I also prefer these images because it isnt in a school environment and the images have more of a story to it and they are unique. Overall i think this second photoshoot came out nicely and i have many good images from this photoshoot.
Photoshoot 3
This is my third photoshoot on environmental photography, for this third photoshoot i took photographs of a nail technician, at her salon. The model in this photoshoot was in many different places in the salon for example: the reception, outside the salon and at her work desk. The model is not holding anything in these images and is just posing engaging with the camera, i liked this because it gives off the sense of professionalism since everything is planned. I really like how this photoshoot turned out and I got many great photos out of it.

This is a before and after of my favourite photo from my 1st photoshoot, i like this photo because the image tells a story very clearly, another thing i like about this photo is how it is zoomed however you can still see the bikes in the backdrop. For this edit i put the image in black and white increased the temperature in the image, reduced the exposure and contrast, i also increased the clarity.

This is a before and after of another one of my favourite photos from this second photoshoot. This is one of my favourite images from this photoshoot because it catches the worker mid action but it still is not an action shot, he is still engaging with the camera. For this edit i reduced the exposure, increased the contrast, decreased highlits and shadows and i also increased the saturation and vibrance.
This is another one of my favourite photos from my second photoshoot, i like this photo because the worker is looking straight on at the camera very seriously, reminding me of the image arnold newman took of Alfried Krupp. I also like this image because it is very clear to see where his environment is, as all the tools are behind him. For this image i put the image into a soft black and white, reduced exposure and contrast, and i also reduced shadows and higlights.

This is a before and after of one of my favourite photos from photoshoot 3, I like this image because the nail technician is looking directly at the camera and you can see her work desk with some of her equipment for her job. She is also smiling which gives this image a very joyful feeling. For this image i increased the temperature and exposure, then i decreased shadows, highlights and the white.
This is another before and after of another one of my favourite photos from my third photoshoot, I like this photograph because it shows that her job is not only about nails but also shows that there is other other things in her job like doing receptionist work and many more. For this image i put the image in monochrome, decreased the highlights, increased shadows and i reduced the exposure.
I also made this colour splash edit in photoshop. I made this colour splash because the flowers were very colourful and i think it is a great contrast with the rest of the image in black and white.
