For this exercise, we initially watched a video about a camera made from a van that was driving around capturing people in their environment. We were tasked with also taking photos of people within a fitting environment conveying it as a snapshot of life rather than a self aware photo. After doing so, we then took to Photoshop in order to edit the photo in a manner that we liked. I decided to blur the background so that the subject was the only bit of the photo in focus in order to make him stand out more.
I'm happy with how the image turned out. It's interesting to see the contrast in the source photo and the final edited picture as the blurred background really does make the subject stand out. In terms of the content, I think I fulfilled the brief as seeing a student captured in college makes sense. I did have initial problems as I wasn't too sure which parts to blur out such as the table in front of the subject or the chair to his left but I ultimately put all the focus on him and him alone.
