P&P-Part 1; Exercise 6; Review a portrait sequence


Exercise; Review a portrait sequence

In this exercise, I have to take at least 20 photos of one person, only concentrating on their expression, to write an account there and then as much as I can remember the frame by frame progress of my subjects expression, noting which I thought were best, then from that I need to rate the images on my computer as follows;-

A) Not good
B) Acceptable
C) Good
D) The single best shot
 
A) Not good


These images weren’t up to scratch as my focusing wasn’t the best, but the main reason is because on a lot of them, you can’t really see her face and the contrast doesn’t work well, at the time I actually liked image 3584, due to her expression, however on the screen it didn’t work well.




B) Acceptable



These images are more acceptable, due to the focusing, light and expressions, on taking these images, I thought image 3608 was a good image as it was fun, but on the computer, it didn’t really pop and lacked lustre.



 
C) Good

These images were the best of the bunch, with regards to focus and expression. At the time, I liked images 3618, 3619, 3599 and 3600, as all of shots had lovely expressions and great focus, the ones in where she is looking away are great as I know that she is thinking about which expression to pull next!, and the one’s where she is looking directly at me are very engaging.

 
 
D) The single best shot


I struggled with this choice a lot, I initially thought I would choose image 3618 (see previous) but on reflection I think this photograph gave more of a natural un-posed look, one of thought and a bit of mystery.

I enjoyed this exercise and I think that Becca did too!. I decided to stop shooting when she had already given me a massive amount of different expressions, I defiantly hit the jackpot with her facial expressions!. The choice I made at the end did differ from the time of shooting, I thought I would choose a more posed or cheeky look, I am however happy with my final choice.
