4. Theme or focus of images
These images are both fashion photography and street photography, This is because
the photographer took images of the high street and used a model wearing
fashionable clothing. These images are a good source for street photography
because behind the model you can get to amazing street images, and even with the
model there it just makes the image more likeable. The focus of these images is the
model and the fashion side of things but I wanted to use these images to look beyond
the fashion and see that there images have excellent street photography in them.
Most of these images are taken from about chest height but the angles do change, as
you can see there is a floor shot. And also a mid-way down shot.
Within the images I can see that behind the model is a standard day to day street, this
meaning that it isn’t set up, or made to look the way it is. I can also see how the
photographer has used the streets environment to his benefit, like inn image 6, the girl
is leaning against a stop sign. But also in image 3, where the girl in lying on the loor and
the bridge I right above her (composition wise)
Composition
The way the photographer composes his images is to portray street fashion, but in my
eyes it does a lot more than that, it shows the streets and things we see every day and
done may much attention too. And using these images it makes these objects stand
out a lot more. The use of the model and the building work really well. This I because of
the way the model and the building fit in together, an work really well together.
Techniques used
The shutter speed for most of these images would have to have been quite high, this is
because the photographer mainly takes images in highly light areas. The rule of third in
these images are done really well and he must have took a lot of time to do. This is
because the placing of the model and the streets are well done.
The depth of field for this image would have been very low, this is because most of the
image is clear and focused, and not leaving any blurry areas. However on a few
images the model is the main focus and the background is a bit blurry And the ISO for
these images would have to have been quite high too.
Strengths & Weaknesses
In was really hard choosing weaknesses and strengths for these images because I
really like them:
Strengths:
· The way he uses the street in the image to contrast against the model works really well
· The edits on the colours on the images like the black and white, or the vibrant colours.
Weaknesses::
· The use of the street could have been heightened..
· The angles he takes the images of could have been a little bit better.
