Evaluation

For this project we had to create a book, for this we got to choose what we based the book around so I decided to base mine around football.

The plan for creating this book was to use a mixture of old football photos that had never been used for a project before and new images that I would take during the project. The plans were to get the old images chosen straight away I wanted to make sure i didn't have loads of older images, I wanted some but enough to give me room to go out and about and take plenty of new images.

When it came to getting the new photos I did three separate photo shoots to get these images. The first I went down to some rugby pitches on the Washlands and got Andy to do some poses with the ball but I really didn't know what I could do so I decided that we would come back down in a couple of days time to allow me to do some research into artistic football photography so that I could get some ideas for the second shoot.

The second shoot went a lot better as I had done some research the same day and the previous day I knew what I was going to do on the shoot. When I went back with Andy to the pitches I got him to do a variety of different poses that I had found through my research and after looking over these images when the shoot was done I was really proud of who they had come out. But I still thought it would be best to go down to a proper football pitch and do a third shoot just to be on the safe side.

The third shoot we went down to Shobnall where we could get access to a proper football pitch so I could get some pretty decent shots. These I got him to do several poses with the football as a goalkeeper I gave him a pair of gloves to use along with this I also took photos of equipment as well this was easily the best shoot and provided me the most images.

Overall, I have to say that the shoots went really well from the different times I went down to get them done. The writing aspect was the harder as I struggling what to write about my images and all other aspects but I managed to get it all done and with plenty of time spare which is a great relief.
