Photo shoot as a group - Phone originals

The composition of this image, I don't like because of  the ceiling however I can easily edit that out. The posing of the image looks natural and relaxed because neither model is looking at the camera. There are three tea cups and two models. Where both models are looking out of the image - as an on looker this draws your eyes out of the image as well. None of this image works together and no elements complement each other. It doesn't represent any of my themes to a great extent.

If I hadn't captured the bench in this image it would be a strong representation of my themes, however the bench takes the focus away from the models. This image needs cropping because you can see the neck chain for the camera in the bottom right hand corner. The reason why this image is a good representation of my themes are; you have the bunting and the plates on the wall, which symbolise the colours, then you have the tea party and kids part represented by the place, the splodge on the wall and the mugs, with bubbles. Then you have teenagers rebelling as what is in the cup is not tea as it is green and the poses of the models, make the look drunk - one with her eyes shut, one looking at her drink and the other just gazing into space. The poses work however the composition of this image doesn't.

All the poses in this image complement one another and the high angle out a different twist on it, highlighting the fact that there are bubbles on top of the mugs. If I was to redo this image, I would change the positioning of it, so that it wasn't a yellow splodge behind the models it was either a red, white or blue one. This is so it would emphasise all the colours which are going on in the image, making them bolder.

 Here I have tried a high angle for this image so you don't get the models face in it. Also by using this high angle, it means you can see that what is in the mug, isn't tea as it is green. This adds something unique to the image and adds a quirky twist. By not being able to see the models face mean the props become the main subject and focus in this image. I have sat her by a blue splodge to emphasis the colours. There is too much going on the floor, if I was to redo this image I would get rid of the second plate which is by the models foot. Even though it is hidden, it still takes away some of the focus from the model.

Once again the problem with this image is there is too much going on, on the floor - to many props being used. This doesn't help that there is one Union Jack plate stuck on the wall, detracting the focus away from the models face as it is the same height. The pose of the model is very natural and relaxed however I don't like how she is looking at the camera. Where this has been taken on an iphone 3gs, the image has come out very granular and pixalated. There is a mystery to this image and that is why is she sat the wrong side of the bunting. I tried to add a quirky and unique twist to the image but also it slightly represents that she could be drunk because it's not a normal thing to be doing. I can't decide whether this works or not.

This image is very pixalated! The pose of the model works and this is complimented by the angle the image is taken at. Once again by taking this image from a high angle, you can see into the cup and see that it isn't tea - it is green. This image would be a lot stronger if it wasn't so pixelated because it would be more in focus; more clear and able to see different things - such as the bubbles on top of the mug. All the colours complement each other however there is slightly too much going on. The plates aren't needed and would look just as effective if it was just a couple of balloons around the models, with the bunting. The bunting represents my theme of Britain because it is a very British thing to have and use in the case of a party.

This image is an action shot. The model sat in the corner is moving which had added a blurred effect, which added to the pixalated image makes it look very unprofessional and just an awful image. The bunting in this image looks really effective, because you get the repeat of the colour pattern, this strengthens the colours and makes your realise that all the props are that colour. The model in the foreground doesn't look like she is drinking as the cork is still in the bottle. I like the positioning of the models and how the picture is taken at a diagonal. This works as a leading line - to emphasise the bunting also works as a leading line, drawing your eye to the second model.

The posing of this image would look a lot better if the model was laid on the floor, however keeping the high angle. I tried to use the rule of thirds with the place of the champagne on the intersect however it is slightly to high up. All the balloons are in one section of the image and would look a lot better if they were dispersed throughout the gaps on the floor. The colours complement each other and there is still the red of the floor, blue of balloons and white on the models shorts. If I was to restyle this I would have her on the floor but also have her wrists twisted slightly more round, so you could get the full effect of the tattoo - to represent the teenagers rebelling.

This angle is completely wrong because you can see the ceiling of the building, however I can't crop it out because I would be cropping off the models head. Also you can see the underside of the tables which don't look effective and look so unprofessional. The model on the floor doesn't look past out because her hand is resting on a balloon, so it just looks as if she is laid on the floor. The lighting for this image is all wrong. It is too harsher light coming over the top of the wall, adding lens flare to the image. I have tried to use the rule of thirds however it hasn't added anything to this image. The bench works as a leading line, drawing you eye from the model in the foreground to the model sat up.

The lighting in this image is wrong because it has created shadows on the wall in the background. The pose of the models is natural and as if they are just having fun - no camera about. The bubbles aren't really captured in this image, however if I redid this image with a proper camera instead of my phone they would. The reason why I did take these with my phone is so I could edit them on the phone apps to create the vintage style.

This is a very simple image with only two prominent colours used - the blue and white. There is too much space is the foreground however this image is too tightly cropped around the mug. The colour blue is complimented with the blue on the walls and the white of the mug is complimented with the white splodge on the wall. I have managed to capture the bubbles on top of the mug however if I was to reconstruct this image I would do it so there were slightly more bubbles on top. This image I took the idea from Martin Parr and his simple work of a mug and no background. It is simple but effective.

The table in this image works as a leading line drawing your eyes up to the models. This is emphasised by the bench which runs parallel to it. The poses of all three models looks relaxed and the way they are not looking at the camera shows they are not aware of it. The only aspect which I don't like about this image is the yellow splodge in the background. It would look more effective red, or if I had the props up against it - so the bunting and the paper chains, this would then draw in the other colours compliment them and fade out the brightness.

The image is very out of focus. The model to the right hand side must have been moving to create such a blur. There is harsh lighting coming from over the wall, creating shadows on the wall, which detracts focus from the models.
