First of all thanks to everyone for getting involved. Lots of apologies for being late with July's brief. We reviewed and created galleries of five sets of pictures from the flickr group. Unfortunately we didn't review some of the submissions because they either hadn't been tagged properly or they weren't fresh pictures taken for the assignment. The challenge is to operate within the constraints of a working press photographer, responding to a brief and taking a set of pictures within a reasonably realistic time frame.
Of the submissions we reviewed there was a good selection of differing viewpoints and nice details. A lot of the pictures are eminently publishable.
On to this month's assignment of portraiture preserving anonymity. This is something that our guys have to do quite often when we are illustrating sensitive interviews or photographing vulnerable people. Possibly the best way to approach this one is to get hold of a willing model and try photographing that person in three or four different ways. It shouldn't take you very long to do this. In a realistic scenario, a photographer would probably only get about 15 to 20 minutes with their subject, I think David Levene was with Karin for about half an hour. This included finding the locations in and near our offices.
Good luck, we look forward to seeing your work. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below. We will try to review as many as we can.
