Sedgefield Ball game

Sedgefield Ball game

Photographing the event of Sedgefield Ball game which took place on Shrove Tuesday 2016 went really well and I felt the day was very successful.  I am extremely happy with the shots I managed to get and feel using the amount of images I took that day, I can create a brilliant visual narrative and I will be able to follow my intentions in creating a photo book to tell the days events. Although I am very happy with these images and feel these would work best as being what I use to produce a book with, I still aim to photograph regularly whether that be of different events or just documentary style images as these too could create an interesting project. I aim to keep on working photographing events of the everyday life of people as I understand these too could create a great narrative and be something which I could use to create a similar outcome. 

I also do not want to restrict myself in this project just to the work of Sedgefield Ball game as I understand I must take other shoots into consideration in order to make sure the final book and documentary story I choose to use as my outcome for my final project must be the strongest and most interesting.


Contact Sheets

These contact like sheet pages I have produced give an idea of just how many images I actually captured this day. In order to help myself narrow these images down I intend on printing the contact sheets out and highlighting the images I feel work best. I do not intend to narrow the images down too much, as when it comes to making the book I may find some images that are not maybe as strong as the others will need to be included in order to clearly tell the story of the day to outside viewers. 

Initially I simple scored through and circled individual images. The circled images are the ones I wanted to keep and the scored through images were the ones I wasn't happy with. I then edited the selected images and placed then in their own separate file.

Although I could have edited down the images by simply dragging and dropping the images I liked into a separate file I often find it very useful in my own practice to have printed out contact sheets.
