photographs from the 12/04/12

This was my final photo shoot which i will do over the easter holidays. I went back to the person that i photographed at the beginning of the project, as i didn't feel they were strong enough images. This time as well as taking photographs of the person i also concentrated on taking photographs of her doing something she is interested in, so in this case it was knitting and reading. I also took photographs of the objects and things around her house that suggest she is disabled, e.g. the chair in her shower and her wheelchair. 

A photograph of the book and ball of wall, to suggest what she is interested in before you see the person in the photograph. 

Just a piece of the wheelchair, it makes you look closer, and think what might that be a part of? 

A full length shot of the wheelchair, showing natural surrounding within her home, however i think that this image could have worked better blurry as it would enable you to look at the photograph for longer, to try and work out what is in the photograph. 

The chair in her shower, to show that she is disabled. 

An out of focus photograph of the same thing as above, i think this works better as an image than the image above because it is showing the person is disabled, but to realise what the photograph is a picture of you need to look a bit more closer. It can also suggest that disabled people can often be forgotton about. 

The wheelchair from the side, it blends in quite well with the background, and the flash that i was using on the camera highlights the metal on the wheels. 

the persons hand on the wheel, not just showing the chair, but also showing that someone uses this to get around in. 

Showing her in the process of knitting, showing what she enjoys doing. 

One showing her face this time, however it would of worked even better if i got more of the wheelchair in. 

A slightly out of focus image of the armchair, that this person spends quite a lot of her time sitting in, showing things that are in the background, to learn more about the person. 

Another photograph of the person with her hand on the wheelchair, but the image above for me is stronger, as her hand wasn't right at the edge of the photo. 

After doing this photo shoot i felt that the photographs were a lot more successful, however i still feel that i have stronger images of other people that i took. When i go back to uni after the easter holidays i will review this with my tutors and friends to ask their opinions.
