 Calin Jones- Calin Jones is a film photographer based in California. He takes candid black and white images of figures, surfing and skating.  The ideas are to take candid photos at a skate park in St Ives and using shadows and contrast to make the image more interesting. I will focus on the figures of the skater and the interesting shapes the body makes. Capturing the figure frozen in the movement, speed and momentum of skating. The contrast in these images created by shooting in  bright sunlight to create abstract shadows is really effective in making the image more interesting. I find the shadows created around the bowl of the skatepark and the ledges is really interesting as it adds depth to the photo and make unique compositions.  He includes relationships with adjacent objects to create a sense of scale, for example in the skatepark he includes a human form to show the large scale of the ramp compared.
