For this photoshoot, we went around the school to experiment in taking our environmental portraits because the background effect of education and learning significantly added the effect to make it a successful environmental portrait. We tried to get each adult or teacher to make eye interaction with the camera to make it fit in the theme of environmental portraits. This gave us the opportunity to investigate how to make the subject the main focus in the image however the background is definitely a large factor to add to the image, either way one without the other would not make a successful environmental portrait. Overall this photoshoot deepened my understanding of environmental portraits and how props and backgrounds can deepen and add more value to the image itself. My favourite photoshoot is probably photoshoot 2 and the last 2 images of photoshoot 5 as the background is emphasizing and overpowering the main subject as the photo is in full frame meaning the effect of the props are significant. My least favourite is photoshoot 7 as they isn’t really a good background to make the image full, there isn’t much eye catching features apart from him as the main subject. However, if I look at the photo on another aspect that may possibly be the aim. Another least favourite are the last few photos of photoshoot 3 as they are slightly out of focused and also saturated and made him look shiny. Although, a way to reduce this is editing in light room which may change my opinion on this photoshoot.
