Final 10 images people and portrait before photoshop !

These are my final 10 + images in people and portrait before photo shop i have got to get it down to 10 but will decide when i have photo shop them.

William jumping

This is my original image again there is a little bit of dirt on the left hand side i have cloned this and have deleted it later on.

Original size

New size 

This is the final image again i like this as his feet are of the ground and hes not looking direct at me, i have deleted the dirt on the left.

I know that his shadow is present but i do like this.

i have taken a image of William with a ball there was some dirt on the bottom left corner and just to the right of his head i have cloned the back ground and have erased the marks. 

i think this looks a lot better now and sharper and cleaner. The rule of the thirds is present in this image i know that he is of set to the left but i think this makes this images stand out.

BUILDERS PORTRAIT

The builders were on the farm and i have tyred to take some pictures of them but they would not stay still long enough (they don't like there pictures being taken!!)

My inspiration for this work is that of Lewis Hine with the theme of men at work and portrait work.
I have put a few of Lewis Hine work below so you can see the similarities of the work.

My images were taken outside with my canon 550d with standard lens as i wanted to be close to the person, i had to be careful and think of health and safety because there was a lot of equipment around.

William "portrait"

I don't really know who's work this can be related with but i just saw the opportunity to take this picture of William he was busy watching me take pictures out side i like them as they frame him, i know the is reflection in the glass but i think this adds character to the image. 

I think these both look nice in colour and black and white, i think the composition really works well...

All images are taken with my Canon 550 d with the 70 - 300 mm lens.

The day was really over case and raining.

my portrait work vs Lewis W.Hine's work

This is the work of Lewis W.Hine i again like his work because it is of please at work in there natural state i know a lot of his work is of children working but i have had a go with adults. 

With his images you can see and feel the textures, and the rule of the thirds is present and the focal point is the person in most of the images.

My images 

I like this image as no one know that i am taking the picture, the rule of the thirds is present in this image the only thing about this images is there to much going on do you really know where to look first ??

Think i like colour better being in black and white seems to blend all in one.

I like this because of his face and his concentration, also with the tyre in the picture is good a you know what his job is. also with his coat being in red really makes him stand out.

I don't think this is so clear in black and white and his face seems lost in this picture.

Rule of third is present in this picture the focal point his is eyes, again the red of his coat really makes him stand out.

I like this picture in black and white, the focal point is on the person i also like it because the back ground his a head and is solid so makes you focus on him.

This image is a little blurred.

Over exposed cant really see any texture or even a focal point in this image.

Every child's dream !! just liked this image does not know i am there, because this is took in the yard the back ground is empty and your focal point is really apparent.

I like the black and white but i don't know if it looks a little bit over exposed ! 

my portrait work vs Paul Strand work

This is the work of Paul Strand I like his work because because of the position of the people, also that he stands them next to a wall or a solid back ground so it adds texture to the image.

I have had a go at this technique in my own pictures i am not that happy with them i don't know why but they just don't seem to jump out at me !! is it because the back ground is not right i really don't know. 

I might try my pictures in black and white see if that helps. 

I have taken these images at my mums house with my Canon 550 d with the standard lens. 

These are my images:-
