Shoot One - Contact Sheet

Computer Experiment 3

To create this image I had to go onto photoshop and create a duplicate layer from background so that I wasn't editing the original. I then went to filter as you can see below and chose the mosaic pixel filter. However as you can see, the model isn't pixelated, just the background and her phone, I did this by using the quick selection tool and selecting the background and her phone, whilst not selecting her. 

I used curves after the pixel filter because the original photograph is quite light and I wanted the darkness to be a bit lower.

Computer Experiment 2

To create this effect on photoshop, I first made a duplicate layer from the background so that I wasn't editing the original photo and I could easily go back and erase my edits if they didn't work out well.

I then went to filter at the top of the screen and clicked liquify which let me edit the photograph in a few different ways, I chose to use the forward warp tool which is the one selected in the screenshot.

Shoot One - Work Diary

For this shoot, me and my friends went to London to go to the Great British Summer Time festival, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to take photographs of my friends.

Aperture: 5

Shutter Speed: 1/1000

ISO: 200

This is my best photograph from the shoot, I think I framed it really well and the background is quite interesting, I am glad I decided not to use a smaller depth of field because I really think that the background adds to the photo. The subject of this photograph is laughing and I am very happy that I caught this because it makes the photograph a lot more interesting than if the subject was deadpan.

Aperture: 5

Shutter Speed: 1/500

ISO: 200

This is the worst photo that I took whilst out. I don't like the background of the photograph because it is just a fence, I think it is incredibly boring, I also don't like the cloudy sky because the other photographs have a much clearer sky. 

Progression:

I am really happy with this shoot, but next time I would like to take photographs of more people, I only really got photographs of two people, so next time I want some more variety. Also I would like to look at taking photographs in pretty locations like this.
