These three photographs seen above, are shots taken from my second film focussing on portraiture within the theme 'Everyday.'
I have worked on experimenting with both composition and light and shooting from angles above, below and face-on. I was very much inspired by London based photographer, Phil Sharp when doing this shoot. I love his style and think that his use of black and white photography really stands out.
The man in the photograph is one of my dad's old friends. I approached him to photograph because I think that he has a very unique and striking face, which comes across very strongly in the shots. By involving a prop such as a cigarette, I think it engages the viewer more, giving them more of an insight in to the models character and life. It also allowed me to experiment with different shutter speeds, capturing the smoke in a variety of ways.
