Photoshoot the originals - Phone box


This image wasn't what I was looking for to do with project but it works. It was taken through a glass panel so you get the reflection of the hands and the camera. The aspect of this image I don't like are the light leads however there isn't much I could do about that, because it was the sun producing them. I like how it is in the centre of the hair so it stands out more. The colour of my skin compliments with the colours of the models skin. The background is light and doesn't detract from the model also there is just the right amount. The camera works with the composition as it is so unique.

This image is taken through glass, which leads to the lighting flares which doesn't work because the detract the focus from the model. The pose looks good because it is simple and relaxed. Make it look like she hasn't been posed by me. The background of this image needs to be more blurred because it's still quite focus and all I want to be able to see is the colours and some outlines. The phone sets the location but not as much as I would have hoped.

The pose of this image is an action shot, it looks casual as she is in mid word. There is slightly too much movement on with the arm where it is out of focus. The blurred depth of field works well because you luckily can't tell that it is a bus behind her. To improve this image there needs to be more of the model showing of her tattoo more.

I tried a close up image to see if it got more detail into it. The main focus is on the cigarette which links into my theme of rebellion which is emphasised by her holding a phone - which sets the location of a phone box. The colour of the phone compliments the colour of the models glasses which where they are both so dark brings out the blue in her eyes. The blurred depth of field makes the model the main focus.




This image is such an action shot however it still looks natural. However the background doesn't work because you can tell that it is a bus station. That is not the look I was going for. The tattoo showing symbolises my rebellion theme. In the background there is a slight reflection in glass which distracts from the main focus on the model and the phone box. The movement shows that it wasn't posed like this and I told her just to try things out and I kept on taking images.




The use of flash has reflected off glass behind her head and also created light leaks throughout the image which detract away from the main focus. However the flash makes the models skin look a lot better and flawless. It brings out the colours and makes them more vibrant. The posing of this complete image looks better with the actually phone box in it instead of just having the scene - it sets the location more! I have tried to use the rule of thirds to compose this image.
