The things that caught my

attention on his works to use into my work as an example, is his composition, B/W and colour, in his photos he don't worry putting it in angle, the background as well it is extremely out of focus. To emulate his work I have in mind, firstly set my camera to shoot B/W and for colour I will be shooting with a flat colour, it makes better for pros production. Wara and I decided to go to Chelsea because there's a posh area for street photography. to do this I use my camera (Canon 60D) with my telephoto lens 70-300mm with hood and a grip for vertical photos if needed. I used the lowest aperture that my lenses offer, F/ 4-5.6, and I use the ISO approximately 100-350 with 1'150 to 1'200 shutter speed. to make this images look good, I used Photoshop for pros production, I corrected the levels of the photo before turn it in B/W, then I adjust the contrast and brightness to give a real B/W photo from a analog camera. For the colour one I adjust the "Brightness/Contrast", the "Hue/Saturation", the sharpness of the image using "Smart Sharpen..." and I correct the colours in the "Selective Color..." tool. after I edited the photos I Saved as JPEG format.

The meanings is behind everything even in the photos. It's not just go out there and start taking rounding photos, because that don't have any meaning, but to a professional photographer must have a meaning behind their photos.
The meaning for my photos that I photographed in Chelsea, it is to show how a posh area makes someone dress their self to walk in that area and in the way this people dress their self, it tell how much money they have. A posh area attract people that has lot of money and attract bussines people too.

Food Review

Thinking of food, I think of Borough Market, why? It's a Market for food lovers! Where there is all types of food. From sea to sky food from all around the world. When I went to Borough Market, I had a great experience taking photos there and the greatest was trying the free samples.

It was a bit cloudy there and cold, just like a typical London morning. The market was already wake, serving and selling their food. The Market it's not only visited by people that want to eat and buy food for they own consumption, but also by tourists. This is because Borough Market is London’s most renowned food market, a source of exceptional British and international produce.


Borough Market is a great place to take photos. There are a lot of shops, each one different from the other, one more colourful and other, every shop sell different things. Their shops are very organised to give a lasting impression. The sellers are very hygienic with their food while serving and selling.



At the college canteen, they are normally are open from 8am till 5pm, Since the college repaired the canteen late last year this year, it reopen in the begging of this year. Now they are receiving 48% more people then last year. Not just the coffee got better but the food too,  They serve food such as croissants, patties, fruits, rice, chicken and set lunch menus.
When I went to the college canteen and to Borough Market to photograph the food. I remember the photographic composition used by the Bloggers that I researched, such as Joel Marschner, They normally take photo of hands holding plates with food, They also use some repetition and colours that combine together such as green and red or orange and green.
