Other research
Our initial projectâs approach was going to be portrait. Therefore, we researched about it. From several sources, we found that in order to take a good portrait its best to capture a shallow depth of field, with aperture around 2.8-5.6. Furthermore, we found that we should set our iso on 1,600 or higher if we are photographing indoor or in a place with low light. Also, composition plays a very important role, if the photos are not calming to the eyes, they wont be percieved as good portarits. It is also important to use the rule of thirds, as it drasw the viewers into the composition instead of just the center. Good focus is also crucial. Other than Brandon Stanton, we were inspired by Jimmy Nelson. Nelson is an english photojournalist and photographer who is best known for his portraits of tribes. We couldnt get access to any of his projects as a whole, but we saw snaps of various projects, such as â Before They Pass Away.â In this project he travels for 3 years to meet and get to know 35 indigenous tribes. This shows that also getting to know the people before photographing them is important.
