This was my last shoot focusing on residential areas and distinguishing between different social classes and comparing them in terms of housing. I shot in a wealthy area for this session, allowing me to capture the types of houses and cars that the middle class may own. This can be compared to my other residential shoots, especially with estate shoot I did, which is a huge contrast to the houses in this shoot. At the beginning of the shoot, I had an idea of what I needed to capture but I was worried that the images would be very similar to all my other residential shoots, making my work boring and repetitive. However, as the shoot went on, I noticed that by changing angles, I was able to add diversity to my work and stop my images from being repetitive.
I really like this image from the shoot, mostly because of the crooked angle. As this was in a posh area, the angle makes it seem rough and dodgy - I enjoyed experimenting with this as it shows connotations of danger; the bushes also hide most of the front garden, which further emphasises this. I also used a lower aperture here so that less light would be picked up, making the image look dark and mysterious.
This image from the shoot could have been framed better - the lamppost on the left looks out of place and ruins the image. The bottom of the picture is leo very dark and is unclear to the viewer, this also ruins the picture and make it unexciting.
