Stranger

This is a picture of a stranger in my town called Robert. I took a stroll on the outskirts of the town where i came across a small garage, and inside was a man doing some metal work. I approached him and told him who i was a what i was doing, and he happily agreed to let me take his picture. I took this photo on an Olympus digital camera. I used the light from the garage door and made him stand at a certain angle so the light would reflect of him to how i want it. I also used the flash on the camera, as i wanted to light up the area around as i thought it would look more effective in the workshop, and to reveal more of the subjects character. By capturing the stranger whole body I have gone for the same style as Alec Soth. (Soth 2016)

Friend

This is a picture of my flat mate. Once again for my still image i am using Alec Soth’s style of photography. I told my flatmate that i was going to take a picture at any moment on our little hike. The reason i wanted to this was to capture the subject with a fresh expression on her face. i didn’t want their to be time to allow her facial features to relax. I think this picture was successful in capturing these expressions.

Me

This is just a picture of me in my most relaxed state. I like being outdoors in the open air and i think this picture represents me in that way.
