 Final 10 Photo's

Here is the top 10 photo's I selected from all the photo's that I took and reasons why I selected each photo to be in my top 10.

 

 1. This is the first photo I chose to use in my final 10. The idea behind this photo was to have the jumper as the main focus of the image and for the whole image to look christmasy. I tried to achieve the jumper standing out by having a bright and colourful jumper against a not so bright and colourful background. Then I tried to achieve the Christmas theme by firstly, using a Christmas jumper and secondly, using the logs as the main prop in the image because logs (log fires, log cabins) seem to relate to Christmas. I feel that the image does portray this theme effectively because of the way I have used the logs and the bright jumper to achive this theme. I could improve the way the theme is conveyed by maybe having more props that also suggested Christmas. I think the lighting in this photo is quite simple but effective considering it was natural lighting. The main focus of the image (the model/ jumper) is lit well enough and there are no shadows that obstruct of effect how well you can see the important things in the image. I like the way the lighting is soft and warm because it fits in with the theme of the logs because people associate logs with log fires and log fires are associated with warmth. This photo also fits the rule of thirds because the jumper is along/ within 4 of the 9 lines and as it is the most important thing in the image this is quite an imporant point. Also this means that people will focus on the jumper which is the main point. Also the face and the hand are along lines too.

2. The theme of this photo is the same as the previous photo. The christmas logs and the christmas jumper creating an over all christmasy theme. Also the bright jumper so it stands out against the background. I think this image does seem Christmasy like the last one but I dont think its as Christmasy. I think that this could maybe be because you cant see the logs as much so they dont have as much of an impact. Also becuase the lighting isnt as warm which makes the logs have even less impact. I could make it look more Christmasy by having the logs in it more, changing the lighting or adding Christmasy props like presents or Christmas tree's. The one thing I dislike about this photo is the lighting. I think it's a bit too dark and shaddowy especially on the background. However I like the texture in this image. The whole image has a lot of texture in it; the leaves, the logs and the jumper. I think this adds a dimention to the photography that makes it a more interesting photo to look at. Also I like the angle that the image was taken at becuase you can see further into the background and it gives the image more depth.

3. The idea behind this photo was to be able to see the patterns on the cardigan quite well. Since the front of the cardigan was open, I decided that photographing it from the back was more effective.
