For the selection process of the pictures I’ll choose, I plan to take an overall look at the images I’ll take. For the ten photos (roughly) I’ll probably take in the region of 25-40 images, if not more. Whilst taking pictures I’ll also be interviewing the relevant people which will also steer me in the choice of photos I make.
Whilst interviewing, I will also take photos with the subject interviewees in the picture as well. This will help the story and move it along and give a face to the interviews as well.
Because of the type of photography I’ve chosen which is documentary reportage, I won’t be spending much time with photoshop because I don’t want to change and affect the images as this wouldn’t be documentary style and would alter the story. Because of this I will have to choose images that look good as they are and not need much editing.
Reflection
For this week, the lecture was about RAW and JPEG images and the difference. The main difference is the detail and the size of the image files. In a RAW image, there’s much more pixels, making the picture more detailed but a much larger file size. This makes JPEG much better for social media and what I will be using (also partly because I can’t shoot in RAW image). However, at a professional level RAW is probably a necessity due to the increase in detail.
To finish the workshop off I went back to a previous task where I had to edit a couple photos. One of the photos needed a re-edit as the contrast and the brightness wasn’t quite right so I corrected this and added it to my existing post. Any experience with Photoshop can only be a positive.
