diary of a sunday.

My six-piece series is of a Sunday. I thought I could just take photos throughout the day to create a diary of the day. Visually the photos might not look like they are a journey at first glance, but I quite liked changing the way I captured the images as the day progressed. I tried to mess around with the framing and depth of field a little. The first one was taken on the train. It's framed so it's only his eye and cheek in shot. The second one is his reflection in the window of an empty furniture shop. The third one is the side of his face in the park. The fourth one is the top of his head as he focuses on the video game. The fifth one is taken through the gap between him and his hands of a stranger in a coffee shop. The final one is an out of focus long shot portrait.

I like that none of them are actually a detailed portrait of his face but when all together they not only create that kind of sense of journey but also a sketch of him to fill out the blanks. Like I wrote before - 'Imagination is stronger than reality.'

I took over a hundred and fifty photos in one day so actually choosing six was the hardest part. I was tempted to add some images that weren't even portraits, or simply didn't go with the atmosphere of the story I was going for.
