Week 3 - Stanmer Park

-

In week 3, we began to expand our photography skills further, as we was introduced to the Tripod and began to think about how to take our photos using a tripod. We went into the woods in Stanmer Park and took photos of our surrounding settings, having a low shutter speed of 1/100 sec and an aperture of around 5.6 to ensure that are photos weren't overexposed.


























I like the simpleness of the photo. Also, when this photo is closely looked at you can notice the two tripods against the blue sky. This can surprise an audience.



I think this is a really nice photo. The exposure of the sun compliments the woods perfectly.

Flash Photography - Week 7

-
Image
In Week 7. we attached the flash onto the camera for the first time and experimented with the camera. We set the flash unit into Programmed Auto Mode (P). We then took photographs of my peers, played around with high and low exposure and worked on performance photography, taking pictures of our peers whilst they were whistling.  I liked using the flash as it made the photos clear and bright, but I do not think this is an aspect I will use. I want to focus on shadows and lighting in photos, which using a flash may stop me from doing. The depth of field on this photo is nice. My subject is in focus and the background is blurred; showing the importance of the subject. The autumnal tones in this photo are really nice. I captured the 'busyness' of the university lifestyle whilst also capturing the beauty of the campus site. I engaged with this project as it enabled me to delve into the 'abstr...

Nightlife Photographers

It is important to document and research Nightlife photographers who I can take inspiration from and critically analyse their work. For example, Gavin Watson is a British photographer who captured   some of the least documented of British subcultures – from capturing the tattooed young men in bovver boots of the 1980s British skinhead movement, to the halcyon days of 90s rave. http://www.dazeddigital.com/photography/article/30620/1/gavin-watson-documents-the-zeitgeist-of-british-subcultures As well as this, there is also   Teddy Fitzhugh.   He is a more recent photographer who has been documenting   the, as he calls it, “ephemeral energy and physicality of the club environment” – a celebration of style and individuality amongst London club culture. These are examples of artists I can use as inspiration in my final project.

Presentation - Week 4

-
In Week 4, Anneka, Ofelia and I done a successful presentation on Gender, Gaze and Otherness. Overall, the class engaged with our presentation as they were interested and were asking us questions about our photographers and the photos we presented. This is the layout of our presentation: We used Google Docs so we could efficiently contribute to the powerpoint equally. Here is the powerpoint we made. The powerpoint was well composed and neat; we only put notes on the slideshow so we could give our class more information by speaking to them. Here is our powerpoint. Everything was clearly laid out and the class were able to easily engage with it.                                                                           Here is the script we used for the powerpoint. Anneka, Ofelia and I cl...
