Photoshoot the originals - outside and on the balcony

This image has a slight blurred depth of field, this was because I wanted the model to be the main focus of the image and not to be detracted from the background as there is a lot going on in it. The aspect which doesn't work is the shadow on her body. This was unfortunate because of the time of day the sun was behind me which caused this shadow and there was nothing I could do about it because I wanted her to be in the location by the train track. This is a very natural pose and doesn't look like she has been posed by me which is what I wanted. The shadow could be photo shopped out however it would take a bit of time.







This image has the same problem as the one about - the shadow on face, once again the sun was in wrong place and so was I. You can see my hand and the camera on her face. The depth of field works because there is so much in it doesn't take focus away from the model, I would want to train track in focus. The pose looks natural. Having the tattoo slightly showing and having the cigarette relates back to my theme of rebellion. This is also emphasis being so close to the train track.







I tried to capture it with train coming along to set location. This was the best one out of them all, however the facial expression doesn't work. It needed a blurred depth of field because the background takes focus away from the model. The pose look natural however the outfit doesn't look correct in this instance.
The location works with train in background and old look of train tracks. If I was to redo it I would have a different pose.

This is the same image apart from one is more cropped in and the model's hair is done differently for the same pose. I prefer the look of the right image (>) because everything compliments each other, the tattoo and the cigarette and you can't see too much skin, which is the problem with the one on the left. The only thing I like better about the one on the left (<) is the background because unfortunately the hovercraft turned up as I was taking the one on the right, and was in the background - kind of distracting.

Here I tried to do a different pose and something unique where you cant see the cigarette you just get the impression she has one by where her hand is. I personally feel it works really well. It is emphasised because there is a blurred depth of field, so all of your focus is on the model and her hair, but also the aspect about the model which stands out the most in this image is the tattoo which nicely links to my theme of teenage rebellion.

I posed the model sat next to smashed window to give the impression she smashed it and her facial expression shows she doesn't care, relates back to my theme of rebellion. The rotten wood gives this image an  old and decrepit look. To edit this photo, it need slight cropping down the bottom because you can see the models bag. Also I would up the contrast and make it slightly warmer to make the models skin look nicer and it looks quite cold at the moment.  The pose is simple however  there is too much background which takes the focus away from the model. Some leading lines are needed to bring the attention back to her.  

Here is a close up on the bottle to show she is drinking. She is still sat next to the smashed window and she has her tattoo showing. The colour of the blue in the bottle is the main focus, and stands out because all the rest of the colours are dull and simple. The pose doesn't work to well. If I was to redo this I could turn the models wrist a bit more so you can see the whole tattoo and if I was to edit it I would make the bottle a focus colour and put the background in back and white and the bottle is the main aspect I like about this image and the part that works the best.





The angle of this image shows the rotten wood and gives it a grungy look. However you can't see the smashed window because you can see the one underneath it clearly. The model looking up the at the sky shows that it isn't posed and makes it look like that is what she is doing. I didn't want her to give the camera eye contact.

The blurred depth of field makes the focus be on the wall and the graffiti on it. However it doesn't stand out that much because of the shadow of the model's body which is on the wall. This was made by the sun and my camera angle didn't help it. The tattoo is the main focus of this image and could be more of a focus with a lighting effect on it. This is a good idea for the graffiti however it was done in a wrong way.

So I tried it again, using a better angle, to help focus on the graffiti. The facial expression works because it's so serious and looks as if she is concentrating on what she is going. The only aspect in which doesn't work with this image is the shadow on the wall however it doesn't detract too much away from the model and the graffiti. If I was to edit this image I would use a lighting effect on the graffiti and the pen to make that stand out more and make it the focal point.  

This photo links very nicely with my themes because the graffiti and the drink are about the teenager rebellion. If I was to edit this I would crop it slightly just to get ride of the hair on the left hand side and also there is slightly too much green wall on the right hand side. The blurred depth of field works well because you get the vivid blue in the background.This is complimented nicely by the vivid blue of the drink and the pen's colour. The pen works as a leading line drawing the views eye into the centre of the image.

The angle I was going for was, trying to look along the wall. It has works well to an extent because it looks like a line. The blurred depth of field works well and draws your attention inwards. By having the graffiti in front of hand to show the on-looker what she is doing. Once again I have used the pen  as leading line to help the main attention to be the graffiti.

The colour of the drink, which is the main focus is enhanced by having the harsh sunlight behind it. The buildings in the background look so effective and set the location of where she is. Sun giving the light in the right hand side gives the clouds some texture. The blue of the bottle compliments the blue of the sky.

Here I tried doing it along the wall to work as leading line, however the camera went slightly too far to the left. Whats really effective is how the buildings are in shadow so you just get the silhouette of them and not too much detail. The sun looks amazing however the blue of drink fades in with the blue of the sky, there needs to be some clouds there to break is up. I could photo shop this in and it would look a lot more effective.

The capture of the movement from hair gives the image liveliness. The background works well for setting the scene for the location. The sun looks good and the clouds add texture and layers. The pose of the model is simple however she is too dark, needs a bit of lighting on her face to emphasise it.

This one isn't too effective as her foot doesn't fit in hole.The posing of this didn't work, and it is taken from the wrong angle. This image is very strong with the theme of rebellion with black heels and the smashing of a window. The cracks in the window give the image texture and there is a slight reflection in the window which looks broken. The aspect which doesn't work is how you can see a little bit of the dress she is wearing.

The angle of this image doesn't work! I wanted the main focus to be on the foot and the window but the attention goes the model. The outfit wasn't what I was going for however this image is very strong with the theme of rebellion, with the showing of the leg, the tattoo the drinking and the smashing of the window. The reflection in window doesn't work If I was to edit this photo I would either crop out the model or add a lighting effect on the flood and a harsh one at that so that all the attention and focus is on that and nothing else.






The posing works well, as the foot is properly in window and makes it look like the model did it there and then. There is also still the glass on floor which look like just been done. You can see clothes which is a negative and positive. The positive is that its a leopard print dress which is stereotypically associated with prostitutes etc, however teenagers rebelling would normally wear a really short skirt, which wouldn't of been able to see in a photo of a foot. The main focus is on window  and on the foot, I could add a lighting effect to make it more of the main focus.

This image works well in the landscape form.Also where the heel is in the window and there is glass on floor  it makes it a stronger point about smashing the window. The dress looks a lot better like this because it positioned as if it shouldn't be showing the leg but it is. The angle on the camera makes the glass look really textured.

This image needs slightly cropping to the left hand side, then the white window frame out frame the image. The main focus is on the drink and the arm, however I redid it because I wanted the tattoo showing so the model needed to turn her wrist. The reflection in window makes it look like two images in one, a landscape one and one of rebellion. Its slightly hypercritical with the niceness of the see and then the darkness of the rebellion. The reflection in the window is slightly too dark, so if I was to edit this image I would select that section and make it brighter and put the contrast up slightly to the whole image.

Here I have tried the image above again but repositioned the arm to look more natural and also to show off her tattoo. The background which is the reflection is a lot brighter which means it stands out a lot more and looks a lot better with the whole composition of the image.

This image works a lot better in landscape. It needs a slight bit of cropping to the left hand side. Also when I come to edit it I would up the contrast and make the colours a bit warmer because they are looking quite cold at the moment. The reflection in the window works really well with this image. This is my favourite photo and will look a lot better once edited!
