Observation Photography: Chesterfield Market


For this lesson we had to go into Chesterfield town centre and take photographs of people in there environment, keeping our eyes open for ironic occurances along the way. Within my photos I focused more on the composition and the type of people I photographed.



 Here is an image I manage to quickly take of what seems to be a man ordering his dinner. I just found the composition of the image really interesting due to all of the angles and shapes which are featured within the compoosition. The angles of the signs and the shape that the persons arms in the foreground are creating add really nicely to the image. I also like how this image captures the environnment really well by the colours included. The silver table and chars by the side of the green and gold stall seem to give off a certain vibe of what Chesterfields town centre may be like.



Here is another image I manage to capture with perfect timing. Just seeing the way this man is hunched over the rail not only attempts to suggest his age, but the way he seems to be manouvering through the rail of clothing is almost 'snake-like'. I find the composition of this image quite interesting also because of the window in the back ground. Just the words 'Tah-Dah' at the side of the mans head seems to be quite comical.

 
When I saw this image whilst arranging the photos that I had taken, this image really stood out to me. The style of the couple walking through the public walkway made them really unique in comparison with the rest of the shoppers within the market. The slightly slanted angle of the image really captures my interest as it seems to really enhance the composition.
