FINAL LANDSCAPE PHOTO

In this photo of King’s college, Cambridge, I have created a bright contrast between the building and the blue colour of the sky. In order to fully express my intentions of maximising my ideas, I decided to edit this on Photoshop to add more saturation to the image.

Using a shallow depth of field, I have been able to direct the viewers attention to particular angles of the picture, instead of all.

This photo uses a shallow depth of field  by highlighting and making the tree appear in more focus than the background.

Using both high and low ISO’s, I have been able to play around with the sensitivity of these pictures. Through the use if large and small apertures, I created a variety of contrasts within the image.

Through the use of photoshop, I have been able to capture the emotion behind this picture. The self expression of the subject of focus demonstrates his passion for what he does. The colourful nature of this picture represents life in street performance.

I was inspired to undertake an adventurous process of creating a documentary focusing on what a day in Cambridge looks like. Using different perspectives, I aimed at creating significant representations of people and how they make a living. Focusing on the themes: ‘Dignity in labour’, relaxation and leisure, I was able to show the extent people to which people work to live decent lives. In order to express the emotions of the environment, I made use of Matrix and Spot metering; creating a balance between light and dark areas as well as a good exposure of selected focus points. In order to extract more detail in the photographs, I made use of slow shutter speeds, showing how expressive and powerful ambient light can be utilized; this created unity and harmony in the composition of the pictures.
