Photo shoot as a group - Camera originals

I have incorporated the theme of the Union Jack into this image with the colours - red white blue. This is done via the use of the flags, balloons, plates, walls and floor. I have tried to include the theme of a tea party by using the tea cup, however I have used green liquid and put bubbles on top to make it quirky and different.  My third and final theme was teenagers drinking. This has been represented in this image by the model and the bottle of champagne by her foot. The pose of the model works well however the cup should be the other side of the bunting. It looks slightly too posed like this. Although it works where the models isn't looking at the camera. I haven't composed it using the rule of thirds however I don't feel it needs it, it works well the way it is.

This image follows my themes well, however the model in the middle is slightly to posed. I like how the other two models aren't looking at the camera, so it doesn't look posed. The look of the green drink in the cup nearest the camera gives the on-looker the impression that they don't no what it is in there. The colours of the bunting compliment with the colours on the paper plates, that to add a quirky twist to it, I have stuck them up on the wall - somewhere they shouldn't be.

This image looks so relaxed and casual. It is one of my favourite ones because it doesn't look posed. If I was to redo this I would have added more bubbles into the cups so that you could see them to add that difference to the image. The plates on the table compliment the paper chains behind the models and also relate back to my theme of Britain. The use of levels in this image is prominent but the different heights of the mugs and the different heights of the models.

This image is the same posing as the one above. It is very relaxed and non-posed. It works where none of the models are looking at the camera, and how the facial expressions look like they are concentrating on what the model is saying. The colours work well apart from the massive yellow splodge behind the third model. That stands out and is the main focus where it is so bright. This could be changed with editing on photo shop.

Here I have tried to sum up all of my themes in an image without the use of a model. I have got the champagne to symbolise the drinking. The tea cups with the bubbles to represent the tea party - however having green liquid in to make it quirky and unique. Also to tie in two of the themes the paper plates on the wall represent the kid's tea party and the representation of Britain and the Union Jack. This is also emphasised by the colours on the wall and the bunting hanging along. The bunting works as a leading line. If I was to edit this I would change the colour of the splodge on the wall from yellow to either red white or blue to tie in with my theme.

I have got rid of the paper plate from underneath the mugs and got rid of one of them. This was because I personally feel there was too much going on and if it was to be simpler it would be more of an impact to the audience. If I was to redo this image I would put it in the centre of the table and not on the corner because you can see it in the image. If I was to edit this image I would do the same as above and change the colours of the splodges on the walls, this is because at the moment they are the wrong colours and would be a lot more effective if they were red white or blue. I didn't compose it using the rule of thirds and I feel I should have tried it as there is too much background.

Here I tried to play around with the use of levels and heights within an image. This is shown through one model being on the floor one on a bench and the other on the table. It hasn't worked and I don't like the pose or composition of the image. There is too much going on, on the table and on the floor. The models poses aren't correct and it looks too posed. The models don't look comfortable and none of my themes come across in a strong matter in this image.

This image I have captured two of the models in one. It looks casual and relaxed as the models aren't looking at the camera however, neither model looks comfortable with what they are doing so it put an edge to the image. The colours work so well as the splodges are also red white and blue but this image needs slight cropping as the table is in the foreground.

Here I have used a higher angle to try and capture the green in the cup along with the bubbles. I haven't manages to capture the bubbles however the green as a twist to the image. This image needs some cropping done to it as you can see one of the models foot at the top of the image and to the right side you can see the table. The champagne bottle on the plate doesn't work however having the plate on the floor works because it ties in all the colours.

This image needs slight cropping done to it, and I don't like the shadows which are at the top of the image. If I was to edit this image I feel I would do it so there was two focus colours or focus sections. The first would be the plate and the Union Jack and the second would be the green in the cup. I feel that would give it a unique twist and be different but also stand out and catch people's eyes.

Here I have got all three models in one image together. It is really effective and looks so relaxed as if they are having fun. The colours of everything is the red white and blue and this is emphasised because there is so much. My only problem is there is too much going on within this image - too many props. The main element which I like and I would make sure stands out more in the editing process is the green from inside  the cups.  The bunting works as leading lines.

Here I have tried to use levels however in a different way. I have someone laid on the floor someone knelt and someone stood. This works well and draws your eyes downwards to the model on the floor. The bunting in the background gives it the theme of the Union Jack however I don't like the light leaks at the top of the image. This happened because there was harsh light coming from over the top of those two walls and coming straight to the camera. Adding a long exposure to this means this was the outcome.

The models legs work as a leading lien drawing your eyes into the image. The subtle use of levels is a lot more effective. I don't like how you can see the underside of the benches and the tables - it draws the attention away from the models.

This image needs a bit of cropping done to it, to get rid of the wonky blue line down the bottom. Also I would crop out the balloon in the top right hand corner. The pose, the champagne and the tattoo all link into my theme of rebellion and represent it nicely. All the colours are red white and blue to link into the theme of Britain and the Union Jack.
