Strike Photos

Below are a selection of photos that were was the product of my attendance at Truro. Some need a little photoshopping, although I am confident to do this, and some might not be used. However this will not be a front page story because none of these photos are good enough to attract a young persons attention.

This image can be cropped to fit around the flag, though the sign in the background ruins the composition. I will most likely choose not to use this photograph.


This photograph can also be cropped along the top and bottom and then aligned in Photoshop to create a square. I chose to use a close up of the flag because of the colours which will attract attention. 


This image is one of the better ones because it captures the mood well. It is simple enough to be intriguing and the plastic bag can be removed. 


This photograph is also another one of the best because the image barely needs touching. I like the colours which can also represent Cornwall. However it wont be the main image because the flag is slightly opaque, which ruins some of the quality. 


This goes with the other sign, though the image contains a lot more colour, which is eye catching and busy. It is a possibility.






After much consideration I have chosen not to continue on with this story because I feel that this would be aimed more at teachers, and adults, rather than teenagers, therefore not meeting my target audience requirements,

  1. These are some very good photos here Laura with a focussed and informed discussion on your opinion of the images. This blog post demonstrates your organisation for going to Truro and getting these images and also your ability shoot material appropriate to the task set, you ability to frame a shot and your intentions to manipulate photographs as appropriate.

  2. Did you manage to get any quotes from teaching staff at the protest?
