Evaluation:
After doing studio back of heads, we had to go outside and take the same style of photography in a variety of different locations. Some of my locations included taking photographs in my group among a brick wall, coloured , doors and other scenes. I found this topic very interesting and I feel it expanded my spacial awareness. However, I struggled quite a lot with ensuring that the main focal point was the back of the persons head and the rest of the image was slightly blurred. Because of this, many of my images were blurry and not focused at all. One of my favourite images from the shoot was the one that follows:
I like this image of Frankie as I feel like the background is interesting while it is also shows the back of her head in a portrait style. It took me many attempts to get this photograph of Frankie as if the background was not blurred, the image was not focused and it did not match the composition that I was after. One photo that I did not like as much from the shoot was the next one.
I would go back and take this photograph again from the shoot as I feel the background is interesting and different. I would also ensure that I took a range of different shots from different angles.
Progression:
If I was to go out and shoot Back of Head portraiture again in location, I would ensure that I used different backgrounds that contrast from the image. Like the above photographs, I feel like my range of backgrounds was good even though I could not use these images as they're slightly blurred. I will look into the studio and at a different range of performing this without literally photographing the back of her head. By doing this I could photograph the front of their face while covering her expression with a mask. It will also be done through photoshopping the expression off her face to disregard any relationship with the audience.
