My plan for this shoot was to take photos at my brother's football games that were in the fall so that I would have a variety of photos to use and choose from during the winter to finish my portfolio. I really wanted to capture the atmosphere of this sport because it is very different from basketball. The players have a different love for this sport compared to other sports.
My Shoot:
For this shoot I tried to take action shots of my brother and his football team. I really wanted to incorporate the blues like I did for the basketball pictures because it is such a bold color. I also somehow wanted to incorporate their numbers in photos uses text. This photos were pretty simple to take because I had natural lighting and that helped a lot!
My Edits:
For my edits I didn't want to change them much, mostly just add an edginess to the photos. For the photo of the three boys I used a filter to make it look a little more rustic and tone the background down so that they are the focus! I also made the background black in one photo so that the blue was able to stand out and I made the photo more crisp.
My Printed Photo:
In this photo there are three friends after a football game a little gross and sweaty because they worked so hard. The background is toned down so that the focus is the boys in the middle and the blue of their jerseys. Even though this photo was taken towards the middle of September it has a cool feel to it to make it seem more fallish. The boys are used as the focal point of the photo because they are the first thing you see and were your eye is drawn to. Also color is used in this photo from the jerseys. The bright and boldness of the blue draws the viewers attention in and captures the school colors. This photo was taken to capture a picture of three friends after a tough game and the joy they have after winning and working together as a team. The happiness is written all over their faces and makes this photo a happy photo. I really like that this photo is so simple, but also shows so much emotion in it.
