The Working Man is an image I taken during the height of lockdown. During that time I always went out with my camera when I walked around the city. During one of these walks I saw the perfect scene, I quickly snapped the image.
The image took a while to edit, this was due to selected masks being manually applied, thanks to this I was able to improve areas that were dark in the original image.
Thanks to the use of my custom Lightroom presets, I was able to lighten the load when it came to adjusting the colours and other parts of the image.
After editing the image, several months went past and I decided to make a cinematic Instagram reel showcasing the image. For the production of this, I filmed an intro scene of me loading an audio cassette into a cassette player. I positioned the audio track to play as soon as I press the physical play button on the cassette player, this then jump to the next sequences.
The song used for this reel was a Please to Meet You by the Australian band Between You and Me. I cut the track to better suit the video to the best of my ability. I believe that I came out great, this project did require more as there was more shots in this compared to the first cine reel.
