"BEN" final portrait.

This is going to be one of my final images in people and portrait, i have used the same techniques as Lewis W.Hine and Paul Strand with the use of a solid back ground in my case a brick wall, The face expiration was mutual not smiling not unhappy just "normal".

I did try the image in black and white but it looks better in colour.

If you look at the image the stripes of Ben's top follows the lines of the brick work, the rule of the thirds is presents in this image as well.

I used my canon 550d with the standard 18 - 55mm lens, as held by hand i think this worked well but next time i might use a tripod as the person stayed still and might make the picture more sharp.

With health and safety taken into consideration all i had to be aware of was the surrounds and the safety of he other person, there was no traffic or animals around, i had to watch my footing as the ground was a little uneven but that was all.

This image was taken in

I have tyred this in black and white, but i really don't like it ? I cant really explain why !!

I have changed the saturation in this picture, and have made the the back wall a lot brighter. 

This is my final image wall brighter, i have cropped it a little but have kept Ben's hands in as i think this makes him look more relaxed.
