Shoot 5 - Fay No.2

'What do I want to capture most in my photographs? Human emotion and the essence of human being. I am less interested in forcing my subjects into a visually interesting form or putting them against an unusual background.’ - Philippe Halsman

To develop my assignment further I have decided to photograph my friend Fay again as I feel the last shoot was successful resulting in some good images as Fay seemed immediately at ease and comfortable with the process, she was confident, comfortable and enjoyed the process and this came across in the images which communicated so perfectly the focus of the image taken – Personality and Fay’s confidence, self assurance, outgoing side, joy, care freeness, happiness – all key features of her personality, came through in the final outcome. Fay is uncomplicated and very natural and open; this also came across in the photographs. When I capture Fay and when she laughs the photographs become completely unconstructed. I barely needed to work on the last series of photographs I took of her.

I intend to go to Dunham Park to photograph Fay, Dunham Park is a lovely setting with plenty of opportunity to photograph. The open space and trees create such a lovely scene the potential to get a good photograph is endless.
