TEST SHOTS II

-


At the weekend, I went out into Brighton and took some more photos that I could use for my final project. As I was at a specific event, I did not have a 35mm camera on me, and instead using my iPhone camera in hope to capture some photos. These were the results: 

I like this photo because of the shadows and the lights. For my final project, if I choose to use this photo alongside one of my previous test shots I will have to justify the differences in the photos. For example, this photo shows the shadows and sharpness in the area captured, but my other photo is in a well-lit background in a completely different surrounding. However, this shows the many different parts to Brighton night-life. I also enjoyed taking these photos as I found that I could enjoy myself as well as producing high standard photos.
This is my favourite photo that I took. The shadows of the lights compliments the crowd and it captures the closed-in, trapped feel that is often felt in Brighton Nightclubs. 
I really like this photo because of the shadow at the bottom of the photo, and I like seeing the interaction between different people as well as the lights.

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...
