As with my previous shoot, these pictures were taken using my Canon 5D mk1 with a Canon Speedlite Flash which I aimed so that it bounced off the ceiling. However, learning from my previous mistakes, I used a wider aperture of 2.5 for these pictures as well as photographing them holding purchases, something which I feel adds a little more identity to the subject.
This fair was in a much rather room than the first day of shooting. Olympia 2, the basement of the Olympia building, in Kensington. I am hoping that by the end of this project, having visited fairs in several locations, I will have enough interesting pictures of record buyers at different fairs with their own distinctive backgrounds.
During a review of my pictures thus far in a lecture it was pointed out that the second picture of my edit from this shoot, the record is being held further forward and the subject's presentation of it is far less casual. This, combined with her eyes being closed, I feel are reasons it is unlikely to be included in the final portfolio.
