My photos are appropriate material for Timeout magazine for tourists visiting London. My photos included rules of thirds. This technique was particularly effective in my first photo because it gave the image depth and allowed me to focus on just one part of the scene. In my other photos, I used framing to incorporate several elements of the scene into one image. In the second image I was able to incorporate the trees, the O2 arena and the buses.

In the third image, I attempted to give the viewer an active experience of the tube station by focusing on the information displayed digitally under the tube sign. I felt that this was successful because the image came out on as I had planned and envisioned. The fourth image I took was because it was the first view of the 02 arena when you walk out of North Greenwich station. I was trying to take the viewer on a stage by stage visual journey around the area of North Greenwich. In the fifth and sixth images, I decided to take a photo of Ravensbourne University because I thought it was am innovative example of London architecture and design, particularly as it is an educational institution that specialises in creative digital design.

In the seventh and eighth images, I tried to portray the beauty of London at night. I wanted to include the River Thames and the 02 arena as they are iconic London landmarks. I decided to take the photos at night because of the unique vibrant effect of the city lights. I particularly liked the way the lights bounced off the river. The ninth and tenth image was focused on a historical building in Woolwich where they have a projection on the building of the words 'Royal Borough of Greenwich'. I chose to take a of photo of the projection because it has only been recently introduced. My last image is a full view of Woolwich Common incorporating the tall Nightingale building. Wherever you are in the area you will always see this tall building.  It is a very famous and eye catching piece of architecture.

All my images try to tell a story of South East London. It is an area which is very attractive to tourists who flock to see it both at night and during the day. The images take the viewer on a visual journey traveling around the area. I tried to capture the beauty of the landscape. The feedback I got from my classmates was that the progression from my mood board to my photographs was very clear and demonstrated that I had taken effective inspiration from my research. They thought that I should be very proud of the final images.

These are my photos that I experimented with i used techniques for example; Rule off third, framing and focus. Rule of third is a guideline rules for photographers it apply's when you are taking it in visual images and painting, it catch's the viewers attention it creates more tension and energy but also in interest than simply taking a photo off the subject.
Framing is a technique used to focus the viewers attention about the subject
it adds interest in to the photograph.


In this photo I used framing, i used the three stands to make my frame stand out with its subject in the middle of the frame and having the background also stand out in the framing i have created and i always used out of focus technique and focus on the background, to make the tree in the background more the main subject and have the light stand out in the photo of my framing. i used Shutter zoom and manual focus to have the focus on how i wanted it set and its IOS at 100.

In this photo I used the lift to create the framing and had a model stand in the framing which was a wide framing, while having the lifts mirrors shining reflection stand out in my frame and have the model's detail turn in to out focus and have the reflection stand out in focus more having the colour silver just be there main focus in the framing, i used Shutter zoom and manual focus to have the focus on how i wanted it set and its IOS at 100.
For this photo I used Rule of third i focused this photo on the model going through a hall way with also a framing of the wall in the hall wall, i focused on the model because i wanted to cause more depth to the photo with the lighting going down the hall.  I used Shutter zoom and manual focus to have the focus on how i wanted it set and its IOS at 100.

I Used the rule off third in this photo while also using framing by focusing on the
buildings with having details also coming with in the frame which i wanted to create, warm and vibrate effect, The shutter speed i used was 30 and the IS0 was 200, which focus on manual by me guiding how i wanted my focus captured.
