Ashmoleon Museum-Portraiture
For this location trip we visited the Ashmoleon museum in Oxford to photography any exhibition that included faces/heads that would inspire our portraiture work within our assignments. I used a Canon 1100D with an 18-55mm lens, I ranged between shutter speeds of about 1/60 up to 1/125 of a second, An ISO of 400 and my aperture was set at 5.6, reason these settings were used was because there was a distinct lack of lighting in the exhibition area and any lower settings would make the photo almost impossible to see and would of taken away detail in the faces.
These were the final photographs I selected from the hundred's that I took on this trip. I selected the ones that I thought stood out from the rest and each had its own unique angle as would portraits would originally be taken at different perspectives. I have used the lighting around me to my advantage to give the faces an area that would be shaded due to the light coming from a certain direction. This involved me adjusting my ISO and aperture on my camera to adjust to the brighter or darker areas on the faces I was photographing.
