Holiday homework
During the summer holidays Mr.Nicholls gave us the homework to take pictures of objects with edges.The trick was that when we take a picture of anything it has an edge on it. Here are my photos.
Paper photoshoot
Mr.Bromley gave us the task of making a paper photoshoot. Me and my partner took these pictures.
why is light important?
Our second paper photoshoot
After our first paper photoshoot me and my partner did the same thing but better. Instead of just a normal light we changed the colour of the light and made these abstract but cool looking pictures.
WHich one is the most successful and why?
I am pleased that I was able to select the point of focus in this image correctly. This helped me create a contrast between objects that are in sharp focus and those that are out of focus.
Which one is the least successful why?
I am not as pleased with this one because I was not able to focus on a a certain point of the paper.
cOLLAGE
I am happy with my first collage because for a first time in my opinion I did a good job. I also had a lot of fun making this and I would 100% make another one.
It would be even better if I was able to cut the circles more accurately.

My second collage
This was my second and final collage. I dont think it looks as good as the first one I did but i do think that my cutting with the scalp got better. Its a shame that in the picture it dosent look as good as it does in real life,the holes in the picture are not as visible as they are in real life but still overall it turned out pretty nice.
If I was to do something like this again I would be more imaginative. I feel like I didnt try as hard as I did in the first one, I have no idea why but next time i would try harder. |
"Edges" comparison prompt sheet
Robert Frank sick of goodbys is really interesting because you dont really know what is going on. What I was told is that these images were taken in the north east of the USA by the Ocean. It looks like there are 3 mirrors pointing at the ocean so we can see its reflection with writing on them, the writing is made out of black ink or paint that is dripping down the mirrors and some of the words are spelt incorrectly.
Lorenzo Vitturi's - Red #1 is like the opposite of sick of Goodbys one is dark and one is bright but it is not only that, you could say that sick of goodbys is mor open because it is showing the outsid world through a mirror or a window ( I am not really sure) and red #1 is just that sculpture, you can not see beyond that wall, its more closed in. These images are also similar, Red #1 is also confusingly interesting because you have no idea what that sculpture is and most of the objects are quite random.

Edges spider diagram
In this lesson we were asked to create a spider diagram all about edges. I was not able to finish mine but this is how far I got.
photoshop
In this lesson the class was asked to create our first photoshoped picture. I was able to create two of them.
On everyone's first attempt we were only allowed to use circles to test out photoshop and this is what I done.
On my second attempt I was able to use a different shape, a triangle, and it was also way more complex and interesting than my first try. On the first attempt you can see that it is the same colour as the actual picture but on the final attempt I changed the colour of the triangles so you could actually see where they were placed because with no colour it would be quite hard.
This term homework
For this term's homework Mr Nicholls asked us to create a gallery with any photos relating to edges and they could be anywhere that I wanted. In my case I displayed them in my room and this is how it turned out.
WWW; I think the pictures that I have taken are very successful even though I did not take that many.
EBI; I think it would be better if I did take a coupe more pictures because four pictures is not good enough.

This terms project
For this terms project we were allowed to do anything we wanted, so far I have done this.
main image:
This was the collage I made in the first place, I got two pictures from a picture book and I stuck in a piece of card that I spray painted with black paint. After I got a picture of a flower, I used the light box to trace the outline and then I cut the inside to make it look like that. I also used some pen and added those black lines.

I took the image the photoshop and I mad these changes to it. It took a long time to do because i not a pro at photoshop yet but I think it turned out quite good.
After I finished it on photoshop I printed the image twice an Mr nicholls helped me cut circles into one of them and I put one of the images on top and the circles on top of that one, and this became my final outcome.
Why I did this
There is no actual reason for me doing this, I just went along with it, I have no idea what I was going for , I just went with my instincts and it turned quite well. The idea of the actual final outcome was not actually mine, it was Mr Nicholls that gave me the idea and helped me out with it and this is my final outcome.
My mirror pictures
A while ago I took pictures with mirrors but I forgot to upload them to my website so here they are
Dafna Talmor
Before we went to tate the class was taken to photofusion to see an exhibition by Dafna Talmor so we could see the amazing pictures that she took and then changed in her own unique way. Here are some of her photos.
When we got to Dafna's exhibition we got to see some of her "constructed landscape" photos and we where shown how she made her photos which consist of staged landscapes made of collaged and montaged colour negatives shot across different places in the world. Soon after that we were asked to draw an image of the orange outlines of one of her pictures but we didn't have enough time to finish so this is what I got to do.
I think that the orange outlines are what make Dafna's pictures stand out and look unique and they make the pictures look really interesting and different to others pictures and thats why I really like these.
