This image was taken on a sunny day in North Greenwich, near The O2. There is a man, on his own, visible on the foreground. He is seating on the grass, eating (I've got no idea if he was doing that or not). In the background, the cloudy sky and some trees are visible but no other person. This makes the subject look quite isolated. The image was composed using the golden spiral. 

​

I took this picture really quickly as someone was coming to sit down nearby where the subject was, so I didn't have much time to take it. Overall, I'm quite satisfied how the shot was done and it's my favourite from the shoot. It is my favourite because of how isolated the subject is, and it show how even a really crowded and urban area can have it's little isolated and natural places.

​

The image has leading lines from the hills, drawing the viewer from side to side until they find the main subject. I had to edit the image to fix the colour, as the sky was a tad bit dark and the subject was not fully visible. The image has a wide depth of field as everything in the shot is visible and sharp.

​

The photo-shoot as a whole was a really good experience, as I rarely take pictures of my area. I prefer going to more lively and vivid, like Central London. It was awkward at first asking random people for photos, but most of them are students who study at Ravensbourne, so they didn't find it strange to have a person going around with a camera taking pictures. I mostly enjoyed the pictures of people and places, as I mostly shoot these on a regular basis, but the shots of "things" was quite broad, so I didn't know what exactly to shoot.
