Portraiture- Work diary

Evaluation
The objective of the assignment was to focus on the medium of portraiture by using inspiration from a variety of other artists.  This shoot went well as I achieved a variety of different shots whilst using a number of different subjects.


Favourite image


 1/125, f/8, ISO 200




This is my favourite image because of the way that the sharpness around the subjects eye creates a great deal of detail.  I also like the way that the reducing saturation of this image has given the image a cold appearance which makes the subject appear powerful.

Least favourite image

1/25, f/4.0, ISO 400


This is my least favourite due to the fact that the image is not focused very well which means that it is difficult to sharpen.



Progression
Overall I think the shoot went well as the majority of the shots were focused despite the wind due to the use of a tripod. The sunny weather also helped to achieve successful images.  In the future I would like to explore more locations as Harlow Town centre is at times limited in settings when attempting to achieve a variety of differently composed shots.


Aspirations
Antonin Kratochvil's work touches on an intriguing aspect of portrait photography that incorporates candid shots.
