Person at work shots are someone in their ‘element‘ at work doing their job.

  • Detail Shot-

A detail shot is a close-up photograph or artwork that focuses on a specific part or element of the subject, highlighting its intricate details and textures. The area or people around the subject are often blurry, whilst the subject is in high-quality focus.

Student Examples of Work

By examining other students work, I am able to take ideas for my layout, titles and photo arrangement,. This is very helpful as I can see the calibre and expectations from finished work from this project before making my own picture story.
