ANALYSING PHOTOGRAPHERS
This picture advertises the campaign,campaign zero is to stop police killing innocent people for crimes theh havent commited,
I think a news presenter could have taken this image to raise awareness that more than one thousand people are killed by police
every year in America nearly 60% of victims did not have a gun or were involved in activities that should not require police intervention
when I first seen this picture I was feeling very sympathetic towards the person who is the main subject and could imagine what an experience
people were/are going through.I like this image because it has a shallow depth of field the background is out of focus and only focuses on the man as he is the main subject of this image his hands caught my eye because it shows innocence as he is looking down to set the mood of this photo the photographer put him in the middle to use rule of thirds.
What shapes have been used?
The shapes that have been used are triangles and circles his head lined up with his hands create a triangle
shape,the heads in the background and create oval shapes.

Their campaign features 'Alfie the Astronaut' and highlights how a child is free to dream - and to be whatever they want when they grow up - if they are free of abuse The ad takes place in the imagination of a young boy, Alfie, who is shown training to become an astronaut. In the voiceover, Alfie talks about his abusive stepfather and how the NSPCC helped him and his mother. At the end, a woman’s voice explains that when children are free from harm, they are free to dream again.

First Shoot
worst
This would have to been my worse picture because you cant see the main purpose of the campaign and its quite blurry. The exposure isn't right or the correct focus point, to improve this picture I would put it on a quick shutter speed so it captures what happened more affectively and naturally.
This is my best picture in this shoot because the exposure was set right and used the white balance florescent. It looks effective from the angle I have taken it from. Also it looks quite realistic and says more in the picture than would describing it in writing I like how the hand is placed on the bloody tissue as it shows weakness and pain, I like how the background of the sinks made the arm&wound stand out..it makes people think deeply about the situation this child is in!

Worse
This is my worse image because I didn't shoot it at the right angle and her head was
positioned to high and lighting wasn't accurate, this image doesn't
show much emotion as my best one does

Best
This is my favourite picture out of my second shoot,it looks as if she is confused
by the words and looks quite sad, she is stood at the side which looks quite good and
makes the viewer think what is on the other side of her face like if its self harm also shows what words are going through her head, its also perfectly exposed and in focus. I'm not going to give away the whole story behind this photo however its a girl who has been through a stage in her life where she has been called names and has tried self harming
this leaves the viewer to think of ''how it all started'' and her life story

Evaluation
This year my task in photography was ''Campaign Photography'' in this project i learnt a lot such as cropping of a picture,lighting,framing and composition.i have used many techniques i and appropriate and effective way, So many artists influenced me such as Frieke Janssens i really liked his work because he is very creative with his shoot's my favorite shoot was the domestic abuse one because it looks very realistic and sets the mood for the shoot the colours used in the pictures were dark shades which makes it looks like a serious matter also i think the message that has come across that don't hide abuse.
