August Sander- “I hate nothing more than sugary photographs with tricks, poses and effects. So allow me to be honest? and tell the truth about our age and its people”
I took this image to try and gain the interest of the viewer and for them to ask them self what it is about this image that interests them. I think that this image makes the viewer wonder what is going on in this persons life. The simple photoshop touch up lets the image stay true and doesn’t distract the viewer from the image.
I think that everything works well in this image apart from the position of the subject, i think i could of centered them more so that the viewers eyes cant wonder.
Minor white-“Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera”
This photograph fits well with this quote as the photo is un-canned, the image has great interest but has been kept simple. I don’t think there is to much to think about with this image which is good as i wanted to keep it simple but effective, i think the timing of this photo is vital as it is just as he has handed over the bag of fruit. I think that if it was at any other time it wouldn’t be as interesting.
I think that the angle would of bee better if i was more to the side of them so that i could capture the women’s faces as well.

Great shot, i think the composition of this is great, this guy was an interesting person and made a good subject and i think that by getting closer to him you have really captured his character. you have got him nicely in focus and the colours are just right to give the viewer a real detailed image. i would maybe crop the image slightly just to really put him as the main attention and not to let your eyes wonder a little. you have captured a great expression on his face and you can see you have been influenced by the photographers we were told to look at. good work!
