The Foodbank was proving to be more successful each time I went to shoot, my images are improving each time but there is always something missing or something to adapt. Which is all apart of the learning process, making the mistakes and learning from them. This is my second re-shoot at the Foodbank, the first one was a success when comparing it to my original images but the framing of the portraits needed another look at.
We had a tutorial with Matt Theodore and Joanne Paterson; there was one comment that Jo said which has helped me lead to this shoot more specifically. When Jo looked at my previous images she found the faces of the volunteers hold deeper stories and so advised that I should take portraits of them but focusing more on the neck above.

Strengths:
- Massively more confident with the volunteers : asking them questions and taking their portrait.
- More comfortable and confident with giving directions and instructions: they listened and followed well.
- Each time I go back there is something different I do and each time my images improve.
Weaknesses:
- Occasionally technical ability let me down, such as the images being too over or under exposed.
- Lost variety in positions, with small knowledge of portraiture this is a great learning curve for me to expand my knowledge in this area.
