Evaluation

This is my final image, it isn't the image that I wanted but because of a incident that I had I have picked this one. I like this image because it tells a story to me as the photographer. It gives me the impression that its a girl who doesn't want to grow up but is being made to thats why she's holding the teddy so close to her. I think the background contrasts very well with the clothes, her hair and the teddy she is holding. I do like the color of the background i have used. A weakness with this photo is that i don't think that the story is very clear in it and I don't think it made it very obvious. A strength in this photo is definitely the colors I have used they're very strong together and brings the photo together. Another weakness is that I would of liked to be closer to her face because I think it would of given a better effect. Another strength is the lighting because its even on the photo and on the model.

Shoot 2

I did shoot two at UCLAN and I improved a lot from the first week, I took it from above and added loads of teddies and made her wear a hat. The photos where a lot less playful as she wasn't pulling serious faces she was pulling funny faces. But unfortunately when I got home the memory stick with all of my photographs from this shoot was eaten by my dog so I don't have a second shoot with my best photos on. For the shoot I used the same yellow back ground a ladder to go up and take the photo and I put the teddies around her. Because I no longer have any photos for this shoot I am going to use a different camera with a different lens to make up that I don't have a second shoot. These are making up with the images i have lost but these show the comparison from it being in a professional studio and a not so good studio.

I really like these photos, they relate to nan goldin's work with transvestites. I think it is really interesting it shows the differences in what different people are like. I think the shadows in some of the pictures ruin it but apart from that I really like them. I didn't want the light to be really bright so I only used one soft box.

This is my favorite photo of them all because it really shows the obvious girl/boy features. The model looks deep in thought and isn't a usual model figure.
