TOM JENKINS IMAGES

This image is striking for various reasons. Firstly, this image stands out as everyone is either looking or trying to touch the footballer, which shows his importance.

Furthermore, the background is full of people as it’s at a stadium and even though there’s lots of various things in the background we are not distracted from the man in the middle, as they all link to make him stand out.

Moreover, the Image implies “The rule of third” as the footballer is in the middle of all four points. This makes him stand out to us as he’s the direct gaze. Plus he’s the one who won the game for the team so everyone respects him. Therefore, the man in the middle has to stand out, which he does.

This image is including a narrow depth of field as the image is focused by the footballer but then looses it’s focous the further away it gets. There is a high lighting on this image as it’s natural light just as everything in this image is natural.

This image is caught in the moment, which also makes it striking as everything here is happening it’s not staged. The people trying to touch him or shake his hand really do show great respect for him and it’s not faked. That’s what makes this images so great. As it was straight after a game which, they won.

This image is striking for various reasons. Firstly, this image stands out as shutter speed is at a high capacity to have captured this image in the perfect moment.

The moment is perfect as Ronaldo's face is in-between the net and the goal keepers arms if the image was taken at any other time his face would have been hidden. Therefore, it’s a great captured moment.

Furthermore, the goal keeper is diving for the ball and we don’t know if he saved it or not, so it keeps us guessing. This is also why this image is so striking.

When taking sports photos they have to be perfect or they won’t be used. Therefore, this image is great as the timing was perfect and this doesn’t happen all the time.

This image is including a narrow depth of field as most of the background is on focus and as it comes forward towards the net and ball they aren’t as focused. Also, the lighting on this image is suttle as it’s not too so we can see every detail in the players faces on the pitch.

Lastly, the image is of two famous, well known footballers. Both footballers are important so are captured in this moving image. If the timing had been any different on this image, it wouldn’t have been as effective and this is why the image is so striking.

This image is striking for various reasons. Firstly, this image stands out as the position of the camera made the man look larger and more powerful.

This is intentional because the man in this picture is Oscar Pistorial. He was the fastest man in the Paralympics and was the first Paralympic to race in the Olympics therefore, he was seen as strong and powerful because he took part in something so big.

Furthermore, the background is plain so we’re not loosing concentration on the women in the middle of the frame. Also, he’s wearing the BT logo therefore, I believe this image would be used in an advert.

This image is including a broad depth of field as everything is on focus and nothings blurred out. Also, the lighting on this image is bright as the daylight is bright, making him stand out more as he is outlined.

Lastly, I believe this image is staged as the position he’s in isn’t realistic when you’re running. Also, you’d see some of the movement within the image whereas, there isn’t any.

MY TWO MOST STRIKING IMAGES

This image in my opinion is striking for various reasons. One of which would be the fact that the woman is smiling and placing her hand in the air like a celebration which keeps up guessing to if she won, or is just happy to have come where she did in the race.

Also, in this image the main focus is the woman and nothing can be viewed in the background. Therefore, there is a narrow depth of field as everything is out of focus apart from the women.

Not only that but the lighting is focusing on her so she stands out even more. Furthermore, the position she’s in is strong which implies she’s a strong person. Therefore, the image is even more striking.

There doesn’t need to be a rule of third in this image as she is the only one featured within it. It’s a close up of her so she’s the main focus because there’s nothing else to view.

Lastly, this is a captured moment in the Paralympics and to take an image in this much detail with a strong effect is brilliant. I believe this image tells a story and that’s why it’s one of my favourite images of Toms.

This image in my opinion is striking for various reasons. One of which would be the fact that so much is happening in one image.

Also, in this image no-one is the focus it’s about the moment which is taking place. The man in the middle looks like he has just scored a goal as the expression on his face is filled with joy. However, in the audience many people look shocked and there’s someone on the ground by the right of the image. This implies to me that something bad has happened. Therefore, this image is striking because a story can be told from it.

The depth of field on this image is broad as everything is in focus and you can see every detail in this image. This image is also using a quick shutter which Tom usually does so he’s captured this image in the moment, which is easily noticeable.

Lastly this image is most striking to me because the reactions vary from different areas in the image. Therefore, I think it’s intriguing and interesting.
