Legal and Ethical

Taking photographs of members of the public + private property: https://www.blpawards.org/competition/photo-rights Model release in photography: https://www.splento.com/blog/photography/the-model-release-policy/ When taking photographs of beautiful Doncaster I will need to consider legal and ethical constraints that may occur and how I can prevent them from occurring when taking my shots. I will need to acknowledge this in order to follow all the rules and regulations, during the time I am taking my pictures. Things that I will need focus on when I am taking images is taking shots of members of the public, shooting in private property and having a model release form when necessary. On some occasions in photography you will potentially take shots of people that could be published or is for commercial use, therefore you would need a model release form, as it could be published on to the web or for e-commerce uses e.g. advertisements.  This is needed so both the photographer...

LO1: P2 Planning

Purpose:  The purpose of the my shoot is to take 10 pictures of 'beautiful Doncaster'. The shots which I have been asked/ can to include is portraits, landscapes, abstract, urban/rural shots to showcase the positive sides of Doncaster. However, when taking these images I will need to ensure I comply with all laws and consider the health and safety as well as the ethics that will be involved with the shoot and edit.  1: The yellow Y near the Rossington roundabout, using a telephoto lens to get a close up of the Y from being far away for health and safety reasons.   2: 3 of my images will be a triptych of different graffiti around Doncaster.

LO1: Create a report or presentation on myself

Image
This is a report into my own styles of photography and those which I find most appealing. In terms of my own style of photography I like to take images of portraits of friends and family members as well as landscapes of the sunset/rise and different buildings around the area I live and place where I visit. Therefore my style of photography is a mix as I like landscapes as its like you are there in the image and it makes the textures in the images more realistic. However, portrait photography can capture the emotion and personality of someone. You can also isolate people from the backgrounds and other things that are going around them.  Below are some images of my front garden in the winter, whist it was snowing. This image makes the place, Doncaster, look peaceful and as if no one lives there. However, it doesn’t give a true representation of the town, but doe meet the brief of beautiful Doncaster. Although you can not see anything in the image that represents the place. If I was t...
