People: Candid

Below is an example of a candid image I captured.

When I was at a dance practise with some young students I saw Amy (the person in the image) sat in the courner on her phone. I captured the image because it look like she's in her own little world and it just shows how much technology is taking over and taking over peoples life.

People: Environment

For my aim of the environmental portrait, I spoke to a few young girls about where they would go when are going to relax or when they are stressed and need to get away. I then went with them and captured there environment around them.

One of Megan's main hobbies is swimming and this is one side to her. When she is stressed or wants to go and relaxed she would goes to the lilly pond near her and would stand in the water so it became part of her. I rotated the image to symbolise that when she is in the water, she is the only there away from reality.






When Laura is either stressed or wants to somewhere to relate she always goes to the park near her house. Her main reason for going to the park is because its peaceful and quite and she would always sit on the slide and look out into the open. So, I've captured her sat on the slide while having the scenery in the background to symbolise the open space.












Across the road from Jades house is a field with a broken down building on it. So when she's either stressed or wants to get away from everything, she would always go to this place and sit down in the door way and look out into the distance.














Anna would always walk up the road and lean on the wall watching cars go by.

















Sophie would always walk into the town centre near her and sit on the stairs looking out into the open area. Watching people walk up the stairs.










Charly would always walk down the the park near her and stand underneath this tree and watch the ducks on the water.

















Jennifer would go and sit by the clock tower and look out into the park and think to herself.

















Across the road from Heathers house is a cemetery thats look out over Blackburn. So, when ever she is sad, or wants to get away from everything she would go and sit near the entrance and look over at the views on Blackburn.

People: Corporate



I photographed a Nurse who is in charge of the residence in an Care Home. Her main job is the paper work and making sure everything is in order.

I photographed it quiet cropped around the person because, it was a care home it is quiet confidential and secret. So i wanted to get that across through my image. I had a chair in the background that was old looking which would give a hint but it had someones name on it. Therefore the way i photographed it was constricted, so i made the decision to leave it out. The only thing with this image is that there is hardly any of personality that can be seen.





So, I decided to choose this image for corporate because she is holding folders which is attached to her symbolising that she is in charge of the paper work, and your slightly looking up at her to show that she is in charge and above you. She is smiling because she enjoys her job and even though its all paperwork she doesn't mind.













I went to photograph a business man who is in charge of all the stock in a massive warehouse. I captured in the warehouse to show you what he's in charge of. I got him smiling because he likes his job and is happy within his work.

The business that he's in charge of stock for



If I were to go out and photograph corporate photography I would try and get business man who own there own business. Also I would try and get more of there personality through.

HDR

HDR- High Dynamic Range records a greater range of tonal details, by having three image exactly the same with different exposures and merge the three together it gives you an effect which is called HDR

Below are three images that have different exposures that I've merged together and cropped to give a panoramic effect. Which my images you can slightly see that it is HDR.



The first three are my chosen image to merge together.






















The other two images are HDR images.
