In the end I chose the following, not only because I like them but also because they're interesting, they're all of different tones and textures and I think they would add something to the overall image.

I wasn't quite sure how to approach this exercise. When thinking about location I usually think first about the subject and where they would look comfortable. I wouldn't for instance put a small baby in the setting of a workman's hut or a dirty workman in a baby's nursery - unless of course there was a particular message that I was trying to convey. So, should I find locations then choose a subject to suit or should I first have a subject in mind then find locations to suit?

I like the contrasting textures but I think the image could have been improved if taken from a different angle perhaps, maybe using the lines of the wall to lead the eye to the subject.

Meet my granddaughter Sophie. I tend to use her quite a lot to practice on as she has become used to the camera and is a handy subject for me. ![]() This close cropped image gives nothing away with regard to background information. The viewers gaze is drawn straight to the eyes which are looking directly into the lens, this makes a very intimate image. ![]() This image brings a little of the background into the frame but not enough to attract attention away from the face. The eyes are still very much the main focus. ![]() Still not enough of the background shown to be of interest here but bringing a little more of the body into the frame displays some body language and tells a little about the subject's character. In this case the pose is defiant and defensive with the arms folded stubbornly, the petulant frowning expression adds to this. ![]() The background can be clearly seen here and the image tells more of a story about the subject. Although the viewers eye takes in the whole scene the main focus is still on the subject. |
