As a group we decided that the name of our Zine would be Faded. We like the irony of our theme of bright colours with the title Faded, which suggests the opposite. I have been put in charge of producing our zine, compiling all the images together and working together with graphic designers and a fashion communication student to decide on a layout...
To the right is my original image which I presented in my show and tell session at the end of last term, and to the left is my final image to be printed in my groups photo zine and showcased on our website. I altered skin tone in her parting of her hair and the tone on her neck also, as this was...
I've been trying to make sure I have been taking out my camera and shooting whenever I see a potential image for my narrative book. Even if this has been on my iPhone camera if I didn't have any other camera handy. Below are a few of my favourites from the past couple of weeks. This image is one of my favourites, I...
Yesterday in my show and tell when I presented my pastel still life and portrait shot it was suggested that I look into the work of Ruth Allen, A south west London based photographer who has experience in weddings, portraits and corporate events. Allen describes her work as "Intertwining natural, documentary-style photography with some posed shots to give a perfect combination of photography....
Today I got my first film camera developed of images I have taken the past three weeks or so. I find it a lot easier to quickly take out this little camera and snap away quickly at moments I believe will make a good shot, rather than my large DSLR camera, as it is something I can always have to hand and a...
Today I showed my pair of images at Show and Tell. I was initially pleased with my images and their aesthetic. Things pointed out to me were that the pink is darker around my models face on the right hand side. Junko thought I had photoshopped it, I hadn't noticed this before and hadn't photoshopped anything apart from the colour saturation. I realised...
Today I did a second shoot experimenting with portraiture with colour matching. I used props which I had photographed both Monday this week and last, and the colours which I experimented with on Monday in the studio. I used the same set up as I had done previously, as shown in the image below. I used ambient light and a coloured piece of...
Today I finally submitted my entry for the D&AD New Blood Award. ...
Today I experimented with more still life images; I really liked the outcome of my first still life shoot, and was keen to give it a second go with the two most successful props and a bag which I chose to photograph in replace of the pink doughnut, as the bag is more interesting and can be styled in many ways in which...
I wanted to make sure I liked my three entries together as a set of three as the breif specified they had to work well as separate images as well as a a set of three. I dint like that two of my three images had the main subject on the same side, so I decided to flip my 'Rebirth' photograph. The shot...
Today I experimented with the addition of portraiture to my still life images and having the two set next to each other. I wanted to maintain the colour scheme I had already set myself, with pastel colours which both match and/or compliment each other. I gave my model the prop I used perviously in my still life shoots and used A2 card as...
Today we had a workshop with Georgie on how to use Adobe inDesign. We need to use the programme to make our mock up books for our narrative, and the programme will also be helpful when creating our photo zine for our third brief, which will require careful consideration on where we are placing photos in relation to each other and any text...
