Kept Shots

Below are my kept shots from the shoot which I plan to use. I am thinking of creating a collage of images to sum up a subject's identity, using photos of the subject and their interests and belongings, taking inspiration from Nathalie Lecroc's paintings of people's bags and possessions.

I really like the composition and colours of this photo, I feel the slanted way the photo is taken gives it a bit of an edgy feel which is a good way to describe the subject's identity and the fact that he skateboards.

I like the depth of field in this photo, and the nice textures and colours on the wood of the skateboard decks. This is a good way to show that the subject has been involved in the skateboarding sport for a while as he has used quite a few skateboards, establishing his identity as a skateboarder.

Similar to the previous photograph, this shows that the subject has been through many shoes whilst skateboarding. It also shows that he is quite messy with the room in the background looking quite un-organised and the shoes all piled up on the floor. I like the rule of thirds composition here.

Here is a series of photos showing a skateboarding trick performed by the subject. This adds to his skateboarder identity by actually showing him doing a trick. I like this as it is a sequence and not a still photo like I would normally take.

Here is another photograph exploring the belongings of the subject. This shows that he is also musical and plays the guitar and the drums. You can see from this and the fact that he skateboards that he is quite a creative and care-free/wild person.
