Looking again at Michael Freeman’s ‘Photographing People’ and specifically at the section ‘Sequence and selection’, the text in the course material obviously comes from there. In the book, the text is expanded slightly, so the review checklist also includes:
· Is there anything missing from the picture?
· Do I have the picture yet?
The last question here is the crucial one – once the picture is in the bag there’s an opportunity to experiment more, without any pressure on the photographer or the sitter, so better images may result.
The course material suggests checking each image when it’s been taken, whereas the book suggests checking them after every 4 frames or so – I think the book option will be the better, as the reduced checking periods will put less stress on the sitter and make the whole situation more relaxed.
This part is very similar to the workflow exercise from ‘Photography 1: Digital Photographic Practice’, and I intend to use this as the basis for the reviewing exercise.
