3D design studio photos

For our 3D design block we have all had to make some tubes out of materials like canvas and bin bags. Once we had made them we used them as concepts for photographs. Here are the photos we ended up with in the studio.

 For these two I was directing and photographing. I quite like the composition of the first one but the lighting in the second isn't very great. I think the colour is actually important in these photos so putting it into bw probably wasn't the best idea.

I think this one worked super well! It reminds me of an old painting for some reason. I like that a lot of concepts could be interpreted behind this. For example why are we connected but facing away from each other?

 I also think this one works well; it looks like an interesting photo to look at. I think the fact that none of out faces are visible is good as it adds a sense of mystery.

Here's the whole of our group in one tableaux. This one also reminds me of a modern spin on an old painting. The richness of the colours and the sense of contrast adds to this effect.

Fine Art two day project photos

some of these are pretty random but I was just experimenting~

 I like the composition of this one and the contrast between the light and dark areas.

 I think the blur of the background works well.

I think it works well how the figure is blurred as it suggests movement. I like how the diagonal lines lead into the photograph.

 I think the light in this works well but the composition might be a bit boring.

The shadows in this are a bit dark but I like the richness of the colours.

 I think the composition of this works well.

The composition of this one is a bit cluttered.

I like the black and white tones of this one and think the composition is quite striking.

Action and Place Photography!

So at college today we had to write an action on one piece of paper and a place in the room on the other and put them in different piles. Then in pairs we had to pick one of each out and one of us do it while the other photographed it. Here's what happened with mine...

Stroke the wall

Hug the ladder

Gregory Crewdson

The composition of this image works great with the framing by the bridge and trees drawing the eye to the man in the middle. Also the fact that it is dark at the edges and light in the centre. I love the shadows cast on the ground. The whole image has a sense of mystery, you want to know what is going on.

Francesca Woodman

I think this image is very interesting because of the interesting angles used. This is by no means a conventional portrait. I also think the contrast between the real cutlery and the designs on the paper adds a very important element of humour and surprise. I also love the dreamy looking tones and slightly blurred effect as it gives a sense of nostalgia.

Nan Goldin Photography

This is from the series Memories of Rodarte. I love how the the design of the wallpaper and fabric evoke each other. I also think the use of the mirror to show the other model and the main model from a different perspective makes this image very interesting and striking. I also think the brown tones work well, creating atmosphere and referencing sepia helping make the image look timeless and classic.

Walking Project

We also had to go for an hour long walk and record it in some way. I decided to use photography and take the dog with me. That meant that the walk was more from her perspective than mine, because she walks quickly and you don't have time to carefully set up each shot etc. The aim wasn't exactly to produce good photos but just to make an impression of the walk. If I had been on my own I would have probably ended up with completely different photos. 

It was really foggy which made it very atmospheric/blurry. Anyway here are a lot of photos.

 There is normally a good view here but not today.
