3. What your intentions were when taking the photographs?
Upon taking these photographs I wanted to have the model looking relaxed at the
skatepark, seeming like he had just finished a session of skating. I felt that it was important
to follow the rule of thirds as it makes the image look cleaner and more aesthetically
pleasing. I wanted to have the shot as a long shot to include a good amount of the
skatepark whilst also keeping full focus on the model and the clothing.

audience to see adn also the subtle use of the skateboard as the prop supports the
meaning of the fashion spreads.
