Evaluation for Scottish Foodies

As I missed the class discussion evaluation, here is my written one.

The following are my three images for the Scottish Foodies brief.

For my Scottish Foodies brief, I originally got in touch with a new health cafe in Glasgow called Juice Cafe. They agreed to let me take photos within their establishment and I was pleased and looking forward to being able to shoot and promote healthy food. One day before the shoot, they cancelled on me stating they were too busy and if I could instead shoot in the next few weeks, but due to the time scale of the brief I had to completely change my idea. So from there I decided to shoot images within a bar which does both food and drink.

The things which I feel are successful about my images are that I like the composition of the first image with the food, I feel I have demonstrated good use of depth of field also. I also like the colours and tones within the two page spread image as it is very sharp and the depth of field along the bar also adds a 3d affect to the image. I think these images are also true to the brief as they were taken within a Scottish bar using Scottish beef. 

There are although a few things which I would like to change about my images. If I had more time I would of liked to have rescheduled with the Juice Cafe to take images in there at a different date as I had many ideas of things I would like to do and I am disappointed that I was not able to carry out the shoot. I also think my portrait could have been stronger as I feel the colours within it are a little desaturated due to the darkness in the room. Overall I think I have a good set of images which tie in together and can be recognised as bar food.
