I have chosen "Groups" because I feel it best fits me as I am someone who is hardly ever alone and it will be the best subject to bring out my best.

David Stewart
This work has influenced me to pick groups and has made me want to take pictures in his style as I think it is most suitable for me.
I think that they are friends at a lunch break and they are all really bored. Their phones are all on the table and they are all in their own world. They are not speaking to each other. Soft lightening all around, not too much to make harsh shadows. Symmetrical positions, all are slightly curved which makes your eyes look to the middle. However, there is nothing to show scale in the photo, and therefore, it has no depth to it. The space above the girls have been left blank because David wants us to think it is filled with the thoughts of the girls.

This photographer has influenced me because of the way he tells a story in his work and I'd like to remake his work.

I have chosen to edit the David Stewart photos in the style of August Sandler because I thought it would add a good effect on the photos.

My response to ann hamilton
August Sander
I have edited this photo by cropping the image slightly and I have changed the hue and saturation to make the picture look older.
Developing my ideas
The first of the 3 same photos are the original photos cropped down to single out people in the image. The second of the 3 is a blurry person with a non blurry background to make you focus on the background and for a cool effect. Finally, the third of the 3 is a blurred background and a non blurred person to bring out the person more and make the person clearer and the centre of the photo.
I have chosen to arrange the pictures like this instead because it is clearer to see the change in every image and the different stages of all the images, and it looks neater this way.
I have decided to edit this photo a bit further just to see what it would look like therefore I blurred the whole picture and make it all black and white to make every person stand out fully in the whole picture.
In these photos I have used the style of David Stewart for the shots as well as this, I have edited them in the style of August Sander. However, I need to edit these a bit further to create and older gritty look.
These look much better because I used the filter tool to add a grain effect to make the image look older and have a better effect.
In these edits I have increased the contrast to give it a darker more older look.
