Street Photography Shoot One
Planning
My objective set for this first shoot is to go to a busy area with loads of different people and photograph a set of people that have a sort of link between them.
I wish to shoot females and preferably females wearing extravagant clothing or even something key about them that makes them stand out. I chose this theme because women power is coming through alot on socia media in this day and age and I want to do something linking to feminity.
The area is often swarmed with tourists and some high fashioned females so I will keep my eye out for them particular groups of people.
The area of Southbank is home to pretty rich and very wealthy people so keeping an eye out around the housing and apartments of Southbank and Waterloo.
My camera will be set at something ideal for street photography with a low ISO so that light does not become an overpowering factor in my photography but I will keep my photographs well lit.
I will try to catch people in their own state of mind and doing things that come naturally.
Productions and final results
This shoot worked well and produced high range ,in focus, photographs. This photograph in particular on the left is very strong in focus and a theme of feminity strongly comes through. The focus on her is very well and it is very in the moment which I like as it links to Eric Kim with his surprise photography of people in the streets of America.
The photograph has a strong concept and idea behind with leading lines which is good to keep the eye looking at the model and not freelancing around the image.
The only thing I could have done to this to make it better would be to get her right in the middle of the photograph because she looks slightly off balance.
The left is strong in focus and in concept.
The right shows good compositioning and ideas.
These photographs came out really well in composition and a good set to link well together.
They all have a strong link of feminity and show my ideas and concepts,they all do have strong focus and they are all in the middle of the frame which was not intentional but did work in my favour.
These photographs were candid which allowed me to catch them in a obscene state of mind and showing off their fashion and facial expressions.
The body language of these photographs can only be described as 'Sassy' and 'Diva-ish'. These link well with the feminity and the ideas behind the female gender.
The photographs do need to be more straight on as some are off balance.
This photograph was a test to see how the camera was set up and to see the potential compositions for the rest of the shoot.
The lighting was very dark which didnt really end well so I adjusted the cameras ISO to get more light into the camera lens.
The focus is very strong though which as we can see above was very good in the rest of my shoot.
The composition of the dog is directly in the middle which is really good so I knew that my photographs would be in the middle and clearly show the intention and ideas behind them.
The contrast on the head of the dog is strong also so I knew that bright colours will stand out if needed to be.
