I entered the lens culture portraits award do to the fact that it was a portrait competition and i felt like my portrait images that i have was probably the only image that i am totally happy with and feel like this is the only one that i wanted to show at this time in my career and education. I have got a lot of issues with showing my work as i am not to great when i let others look at it, unless it is for marking. The lens culture portrait awards was actually one of a few competitions that were open because i left it quite late because i didn't thick any of the there competitions were the ones that suited my photography.
My entry for this competition did not need much deliberating over the image i was going to use, the image below is the competition entry.
Girl In A Red Scarf
Photographed using Canon 5D Mark II
(2013)
I choose to put this image into the competition because i just felt like for a first entry this was good enough, i hadn't really entered a competition before and i felt satisfied using this one.
'A young women's trues emotions come from the courageous clothing she wears, although her body language and facial expression presents an opposite effect, her bold choice of a red scarf offers an insight into her true emotions.'
Producing this images i had a Canon 5D Mark II and one light that was situated to the right of her body in the picture, it was elevated just above her head facing in at her. i have always like this photograph and to be honest its is one of my best portraits in m opinion.
I am satisfied with this image as my first professional major competition entry, its just i felt like i didn't known what i was doing when it came to entering a comp, even though i knew what image i was submitting, i just didn't feel like i was always making the correct decision but for my overall decision i am happy with.
