Out and About at School


Portrait of a Stranger
This is one of the photographs I took whilst on assignment in class time. Our tutor had given us a list of over 15 shots to take, one being a portrait of a stranger. I'm not really comfortable putting up any of my other shots. The surroundings, the effort and photos all felt to forced and therefore are not worth viewing. This picture was the only decent "rough draft" photograph I could display. Aspects that I enjoy with this photo and want to work on further is the incorporation of clothing within portraiture. I like the look of the subjects jacket being removed and blurred bringing his face and chest to the foreground. I decided to give the photo a lighting change. I decided to do this as I wanted to frame the portrait with the branches above.
