Photoshoot originals - In the party rooms

The blurred depth of field work well because the shoes are in focus showing this girl is on the floor however the arm, is out of focus, as well the paper chains and bunting are blurred. The aspect which doesn't work for this image is how  you can see a little bit of ceiling at the top left hand corner. This detracts from the main focus because it is a different colour to the rest of the image so stands out. All the colours complement one another because they are the same and they are the ones of a Union Jack - red white and blue. All of my props are these colours.

This is  the same image as above apart from focused depth of field is in focus. There is more focus on the arm and you can now see the tattoo. Personally I prefer the one about, because The props are out of focus and they detract away from the main idea - which is the heels and the idea that she is on the floor.

The posing of this image doesn't work. It needs to be cropped to get rid of the hair in top right hand corner. There is too much red (the floor and the balloon,) It should have been a white balloon so then it would have been all 3 colours not just the two. The props work because they show both of my themes in a simple way. The balloon is the idea of a kids tea party and childhood, where as the drink is the idea of teenagers drinking and the tattoo shows the rebellion. To improve this image it needs to be thought out a lot more, with better posing.

The posing in this photo works well because she is behind the bunting so it is quirky. The bunting is complimented by the colours because of the wall and floors. There is one aspect I should have got rid of when posing it however I didn't notice they were there - my shoes are in the corner.  The posing of this image is the strongest aspect.

The posing of this image is very effective because it is so simple, it just needed cropping left hand side, where you can see the model's hair, and the little blue section on the bottom left hand corner.  Then to make a focal point out of the tattoo by adding lighting effect. The creases on the champagne bottle give the picture texture and so does the dark section of the flooring. With a little bit of editing this image could be stronger.  

This image needs the same editing as above, just simple cropping, to the left hand side to get rid of hair and then lighting effect on the tattoo or cigarette to make more of a focal point out of it. I have posed the model to hold to cigarette backwards to make it unique and quirky. But also to make her seem drunk and as if she doesn't fully understand what she is doing.

The posing is a bit too much and looks too posed. Not natural. The angle is too high up and would look a lot better from the floor. The cropping is too tight and on the model however there is too much background around her it doesn't look correct. There needs to be more of a  focus on the model's tattoos, the  drink and the cigarette. If I was to redo this image I would get rid of the balloons as it detracts away from the focus.

The angle works so well! It is from  her point of view (on the floor) and this emphases the pose which she is in.The balloons look really effective for the fun element and the light reflecting of them gives them texture to the image. The blurred depth of field makes the model the main focus and stand out more. In the bottom left hand corner there is a slight shadow however it might be a too tighter crop around the model.

This posing is very effective and is emphasised by the blurred depth of field. All the colours complement each other because they are the same, red white and blue, the colours of the Union Jack. The bunting, paper chains, balloons, walls, floors and bottle. The only other colours are the benches which work because they make it look like a kids area and a bit of fun. The aspect that doesn't work about this image is the little bit of ceiling on the top left hand corner but that can easily be cropped out without effecting the whole image.

Once again the aspect which doesn't work according to this image is the ceiling on the left hand corner. This photo would be improved by having a blurred depth of field. So the bunting and paper chains are out of focus so you just get the colours and the shapes. The angle of this photo is slightly to low because you can't see the second bottle clearly. Every element  that I wanted to included is, which shows my themes and this makes them stronger.

The only red balloon is under face which is very bad posing on my behalf because the light reflect off it and make the models face look redder that what it actually is. This image is to 'nice' and not what I was going for. It doesn't show anything about teenage rebellion or tea parties so it doesn't work for my themes.

The pose of this is so unique however it works so well. It shows my theme off well that she is passed out on the floor. If I was to redo this I would have just added in a bottle of something to strengthen my theme a bit more because at the moment she looks like she is just laid on the floor. The heels strengthen this point of rebellion and so does the dress where it is so short. The colours complement each other because there is just red and white in the image apart from the models dress which is leopard print. The one aspect which doesn't work is the slight shadow under her leg however it was hard to adjust the lighting because I was in a bowling alley so it was harsh lighting all around me I had to find things to reflect it off.

The alcohol lined up in background shows the idea that she has been drinking however is still subtle and not the main focus. The benches are wonky and not straight to make it look like something has happened in there. The bunting and paper chain stand out and make the idea of a kid's tea party obvious. The models pose looks posed however natural at the same time and it works well because it looks like she has just passed out on the floor.
