OCA – People and Place
Assignment 1: A Portrait
The aim of the first assignment is to introduce yourself to your tutor with a selection
of portrait work with one subject.
I have selected one subject and provided seven photographs taken over six sessions.
Photograph 1
This is one of two images taken in a local underpass to provide a urban feel. I asked
the subject to dress accordingly to the chosen location.
I like this photograph and planned to have the subject looking away from the camera,
the viewer has no idea of what the subject is looking at...
Photograph 2
This photograph was taking in doors with one snoot lighting
unit used and a low
key set up.
I am not as pleased with this image, the left eye should not
really be visible and
I will look to retake this image at a later stage.
Photograph 3
I wanted a simple pose at home
and I used a little side lighting with a high
key background. I positioned the
subject left of centre. This is an ok image,
perhaps the composition could of
been a little better, composing further away to
bring in all the hair.
Photograph 4
An image taken on the spur of the moment, I’m so amazed at
how teenagers are
constantly on their smart phones.
I used a high saturation to provide a different look to the
image.
I think this image shows that whatever was being read or
sent was not necessarily
good news!
Photograph 5
Another low key image, although
this one has a different composition.
I succeeded in what I had
planned, casting half the face in shadow.
Photograph 6
I wanted a completely different composition and
decided to have the subject
walking towards me. An on camera flash was used.
Photograph 7
This image was taken at home and
I wanted to have the subject looking really happy.
On that point, I got it right.
I changed the clarity and burnt in the edges to give a
modern look to the image. I chose black and white for this, which I prefer
