Reportage

Reportage 

Eddie Adams

Eddie Adams was an American photographer and photojournalist noted for portraits of celebrities; politicians and for coverage of 13 wars. His work inspires my theme by inspiring me to capture/ composed well timed portraits. I love the use of manual B&W film. This creates a really desirable effect I want in my portraits. However I think I will incorporate his style of locations; spontaneous.

In my recreations of reportage I went to the Moore markets with a 50ml lens. This created the composure I was looking for and allowed me to create depth of field. I wanted to capture people in natural movement so I can try incorporate this feel in my portraits. To create the B&W film effect I edited it in adobe Photoshop. To compose the fruit stall photo I used the rule of thirds. The counter and rack of Bananas separate the photo into t=three sections.
