Assisting Josh in the studio - fashion.

As I had worked with Josh in the studio previously on a product shoot, he asked me if I wanted to assist him in the studio again and this time it was on a fashion shoot he was doing collaborating with a makeup artist. He was aiming for a punk/glam rock look for this shoot, and this is the final image that he created:

It was really helpful and interesting to see how Josh works in the studio, because it showed me the way he lights his images and therefore this is something that I can use in the future when doing shoots of my own.

Conventions of portraiture.

Image
When taking a portrait of someone, there are always things to consider to ensure that a successful image is achieved. This is broken down into 4 sub sections as outlined by David Bate: Face, pose, location and clothing. I am going to briefly explain what each of these points mean and give examples of photographers to demonstrate the points further. FACE The first convention I am going to look into is face, and why this is essential when taking a portrait of any kind. It is obvious that when taking a portrait of someone, their face usually needs to be seen because this lets the audience know who the photograph is of. It also allows the audience more insight into the meaning of the photograph if there is a meaning to be seen because the subject's expression can be captured which wouldn't be achieved if the face was out of view or obstructed in some way. "The expression on a face in portraiture is crucial and can exert a considerable impact on how a portrait signifie...

Ideas about next Interim.

Image
For my next interim, I want to be more creative with the way in which I display my images, because I feel like having my images in an organised manner would not work for my project as it would look too neat. I decided to look more into the way in which Wolfgang Tillman's displays his work and then Richard suggested looking at Alexandra Lethbridge. Wolfgang Tillmans: In this display, I really love how all of the colours are very different to each other but they seem to work with one another as a full display. This way would also work really well for my project because of how the images all look scattered and disoriented - as my project is about the unknown, this would add another depth to my images. Alexandra Lethbridge: This is one of the displays that I saw of Alexandra Lethbridge's work, and I really liked how all of the images are different sizes and are also at different heights. The main part that I think is interesting for this exhibition is the one imag...

Third shoot back at university (with artist research)

Image
I wanted to experiment again with this shoot, this time using a different mirror than I had been using for my other portraits to see if the size was something that I wanted to stick with or not. I found the following artist who inspired me to do this shoot because of the variety in mirrors she uses and how well each image works in its own way: These images are all taken by the photographer Paola Rojas, and I was interested in these because of the variety in the shapes and sizes that she uses in her images. The image of the girl's face split into 2 is the one that interested me the most out of these 3 images because it gave me the idea of using a mirror to reflect someone into in a specific way - but in the images I shot I used a mirror that stood alone so that I could edit the image to my desired effect. Contact sheet from this shoot: My image from this shoot: The idea behind this shoot was to achieve images that I could edit together so that there was the...
