Analysis - Natural Light Relationship Portraiture in Autumn.

This Folio has taught me a lot. How to organise photoshoot’s, locations for the shoots and delegating time for this folio and other class assignments. It has been an experience that i will reflect on and learn an extensive amount of positive and negative outcomes so I can do things better next time. 

Researching for this was quite easy because I knew what I wanted to do but finding other photographers as inspiration was more difficult than originally thought. 
On a Wednesday outing with Tess we went to an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery to see PROMO: Prime time. In a section there were nice couple/intimate portraits from Offspring.  I thought they’d be perfect for my couple shoot.  The internet was pretty helpful. 

Organising the shoots and conducting them was the big learning curve. I had never organised one before so having to ask people and wording it was a learning experience. But because they were friends I think it was easier than getting models. I had a lot of trouble with knowing what I wanted the models to do. I definitely need to work on that. Another big factor was the weather on some days I had shoots booked. I just had to do my best and get the best results I could. 

No Post Production.  Natural Light portraiture shouldn't have anything done to it. 

The other problem with the folio was having all the shoots shot in JPEG instead of RAW. This has been explained and cleared up with my teachers. (Which I am very grateful for) Definitely a  mistake that has impacted everything this whole semester not just with this assignment but in other classes as well. 

But Overall these 10 photograph are my strongest with portraying the above and I’m pleased with the outcome.
