This document provides contact sheets and images from three photo shoots in York. It evaluates the final eight images selected. Key details evaluated include the technical qualities of exposure, focus and depth of field. The intended purpose of the images as materials for a travel magazine and their suitability is discussed. Skills learned throughout the project are summarized, including improved understanding of camera settings and genres of photography. Areas for further learning are noted around time management and creative ability.

Here is the Aviva
building on Rougier
Street. This was taken
with a camera on a low
shutter speed and low
ISO. You can tell this
because of the
clearness of the photo.
This is the York rail
station taken from the
city walls. There will
have been no editing to
this photo.

This is Clifford’s Tower, I
took this photo with the
Tungsten setting and
also with a low shutter
speed. You can tell this
because the sky doesn’t
look like it would in real
life and the passing bus
is very clear.

Here is a picture of the
park by the Minster. I
had used the cloudy
setting on white balance
with low ISO, high
shutter speed and
aperture.
This photo is of Clifford’s
Tower from a park. The
ISO is quite high
because it is quite fuzzy
in the distance. This
photo is observational
because I did not put
anything in a specific
place or ask anyone to
do anything.
This photo will be a
tungsten with a high
shutter speed. You can
tell this because the
photo is not very clear
but it has a very blue
affect to it.

This photo is of Coney
Street in the centre of
York. This photo was
taken with a low
aperture because the
people/buildings that are
nearer are clear but the
‘Zara’ sign is very hard
to read.
This photo is of College
Street in York. The
architecture of the black
and white building is
typically 1800’s. the
aperture on this photo is
high because everything
in the photo is clear. The
cloudy white balance
setting is also turned on.
This is of CEX in York
centre. The aperture on
this photo is high
because you can see
everything clearly.

Final Image Evaluation
What you should write about on this slide:
You need to include references to the visual language you have used in your composition and image construction (eg form, texture,
shape, pattern, line, tone, colour)
In image number 6 I particularly like the way that the wall and the tree plays the role of a frame in the foreground. As they are in the
foreground, the viewer will look past them into the main context of the picture. I think that this building is very clever in the way that it
contrasts the period railway building with the modern day fibreglass panelled roof. The period building has an ornamental balustrade
with curved stone pillars compared with straight lines of the modern roof. Another feature I like about this photo is the way the dull
grey sky makes part of the roof disappear. The modern grey roof might look a lot different with clear blue skies. In this photo there is
not really any use of rule of thirds.
You should consider who the audience for this work would be. This could depend on the context your work would appear. What
social groups and genders might view this work? Does it contain political views that would appeal to an audience?
I think for all of these photos the audience would be middle aged people (ages 30-50) who have an interest in travel and tourism.
These photos could be good use in a magazine on a guide to the city of York. The magazines they would be used in are local ones
such as Yorkshire Living and make them look very glossy and appealing to the readers.
You need to put your work in to historical and cultural context. What previous work has influenced your work. Has it been influenced
by
race, religion or politics? Does it make references to other pieces of art and design or popular culture?
There are many historical buildings throughout York such as Clifford’s Tower which was originally constructed with a timber
structure by William the conqueror in 1068, it stood for just over a century before it burned down in one of York’s most tragic
occasions when 150 Jews were burned on the site. It was ordered to be reconstructed by Henry III when England was under attack
by the Scots. I think the history behind Clifford’s Tower influenced me to go and take some photos of it.
Remember to illustrate your writing with appropriate imagery

Final Image Evaluation
What you should write about on this slide:
Realisation of intentions: Have you achieved what you aimed to with your images? If so how? If not,
why not?
My original aim was to take images of some form of sporting event – preferably a football match.
However I unfortunately did not have the time to attend a sporting fixture therefore I went for my
alternative plan which was landscape/street photography around York. I believe that I have achieved
what I wanted with my alternative plans in that I do have some photos of interesting places in York.
Fitness for purpose: How suitable are the images for their intended purpose? If they are fashion
images, do they do what fashion images are supposed to?
I wanted these photos to appeal to tourists and be of a quality to be published in a travel/tourism
magazine, I am very confident that I have reached my goal of the intended purpose.
Responding to feedback: If you have received feedback on your images, has it been positive or
negative? Give examples and explain why you feel that way.
Technical qualities: Consider the technical qualities of the images. This is the practical side of things.
How well has exposure, focus, depth of field and post-production be controlled?
In photo number 3 I applied the rule of thirds, in photo number 7 there is a very low depth of field but I
still think that it is a good photo overall. I did not apply any post production.
Aesthetic qualities: Consider the visual impact of the work? How artistic is it? How has framing, line,
colour and shape been used in work? How successful has it been? I think my work isn’t really that artistic
but I think in a couple of photos I have applied framing quite well.
Remember to illustrate your writing with appropriate imagery

Final Image Evaluation
What you should write about on this slide:
Skills and knowledge gained: What skills and knowledge have you gained from
this project? What can you do now that you could not do at the start? What do
you need to learn more about? I now know the names of more settings on a
camera, a lot more genres of photography, I now know how to take a series of
photos in one scenario e.g. lots of different images of somebody walking. I now
know how to edit a black and white photo and turn it into colour. I still believe my
time management needs working on but I think my mind does now have more of
a creative ability.
When considering the skills and knowledge gained in this project you should
include your thoughts on:
The production process: Technical competencies, creative ability and time
management
Sources of information: Self-evaluation and documentation such as ideas,
notes, production logs, sketches and trial shots
