Then we got asked to focus on one subject and take 20 photos of it.
Set #1 Circles
Set #2 Corners
Set #3 Squares
WWW:
I am particularly happy with these 3 photographs, i like the different angles of the images and how they fit the theme that was chosen. I like how in the first photo its more focused on the texture of the stone but is still a corner. I like the second and third photo because you can see a contrast between the subject and the background but you can still focus on the circle. |
EBI:
I could of used the square format while taking photos so nothing got cropped in the process and i could of focused more on the photo aswell as the theme of them. |
These two photographs are by Jerry reed and Francis Bruguière. They are very similar as they are both photographs of a piece of paper and they are both thinking about the lighting and how it affects the photograph. However the photographs are also very different because in the one on the left there are lines of light on the different strips of paper but on the picture on the right and bits of light reflecting of the paper and they are overlapping. To recreate one of photos i would try to cut the paper in specific shapes and cast a torch from an angle onto it.

In the photograph i can see different images attached to each other. This photograph is simple, and mostly black and white. In the photo you can see images of colourful drinks. The genre of the photo is still life. The photographer took this photo by sticking different images of food and drinks together to make a collage and they place a light over the paper. The formal elements are the pieces of paper stuck together and the shapes are all different.

In the photo i can see a slice of bread and a painting of a woman with her eye peeking through the hole on the bread. I would describe this photo as creative and the genre as still life. The photographer took the photo by placing the hole of the bread over the eye of the painting to make that the subject of the photo. The formal elements in this picture are the eye and the bread . the texture of the bread is rough and the shape of the bread is oval. The picture is colourful and the colours compliment each other making them stand out.

Moholy-Nagy
In this photograph you can see the balcony of lots of apartments and a man looking down on the camera menacingly. I would describe this photograph as black and white, old and abstract. The photography captures the photography by looking underneath the balconies so you can see the difference in the shading using natural light. The formal elements of this picture are the balconies and the man standing on the balcony. i would describe the lines in the picture as straight but curved on the railings of the balcony. The image is in black and white which makes the shadows stand out more, and the windows on the wall makes a nice pattern.

Abstract advent
For christmas we did a photography advent calender and took 24 photos of different patterns.
Keith Arnatt
The series 'Pictures from a Rubbish Tip' (1988-89) is a body of work devoted to images of decomposing food, some in their plastic wrappers, some naked; all of which have a delicate, almost transcendental, beauty. Arnatt uses the medium of photography with the sensibility of a painter. Colour is important to him, and this comes out in one image depicting a strip of bacon and a piece of eggshell against a backdrop of plastic partially obscuring a pink floral pattern behind. But it is not the inventory of items depicted which makes this picture arresting, it is, rather, a certain undefined quality, perhaps the way the light falls on the objects, or the way the plastic conceals and mutes the things behind, in this instance, making a composition of rubbish appear as if painted in the manner of a Flemish painting. Perhaps it is because the effect of making what could be described as dirty plastic appear as fine gauze or muslin, or the care with which these items of rubbish are composed: each is attributed with a value by its relation to the others. What ever it is, Arnatt has transformed the unwanted into something, at least pictorially, highly desirable.
These photos are inspired by Keith Arnott's Pictures from a Rubbish Tip'.The first one is a picture outside of a piece of rubbish that's in a puddle this makes it slightly transparent, the rubbish also gives a contrast between the natural grass and dirt and the red in it. The second and third photograph is inside of a bin. This gives the image lots of colourful aspects of it but then also the inside of the bin which acts as frame for the image which places your view of the image in the centre of the photo. The fourth image shows a plastic bag in which reflects the light giving a nice contrast between the bag and the darkness of the metal and the material of the metal makes the image more interesting.the Fifth image is inside a bin but is cropped to only show the pile of rubbish inside of it. The different colours of all the objects gives the image image more life and makes it very colourful. The last image shows a plastic wrapper, this takes up most of the image which makes it mostly red but also shows a bit of the background. The background uses leading lines to lead your eye to the image.
Diptych and Triptych.
Idea: Shadows
Diptych - A diptych is made with two related images. Today i was looking for shadows to take photos of, I took these photos as the they both cast a shadow with a unique design and were both taken at around the same time with the same colour scheme.
Triptych - A triptych is made of three photographs. These images are all of an interesting shadow and they are all from the same area and all have pattern beneath the shadow to make the photo more captivating.
Diptych and Triptych
I went outside to take photos for Diptychs and Triptychs and took photos of the grass and took photos of some patterns .
Cyanotype
Cyanotype is a photographic print process that produces a blue print. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. The cyanotype process uses a mixture of iron compounds, which when exposed to UV light and washed in water oxidise to create a blue image.
After learning about it i tried to make one myself by gathering some objects outside and putting it on the piece of paper and putting glass on top to let the sun through. After a couple minutes if washed it see how it turned out.
I made another cyanotype with different objects in my bag.
|
When letting the cyanotype sit in the sun, some of the objects were blown away in the wind exposing it to the sun

Sunlight pictures
I took different photos with the sun glaring onto the camera. When the sun is behind the objects it gives it a glowing effect and the sun gives a nice flare onto the objects.
