My Visual Logbook

“There is no perfect photo. I can sit here and write about composition, lighting, rule of thirds, and post processing, but at the end of the day, everyone’s eye is different. We all see and interpret things differently, so naturally, everyone´s photos will be different. And I love that facet. I could fall in love with an image and call it ‘perfect’ but one of my friends could go to the same location with the same model and come up with something completely different, but it is their version of ‘perfect’.”

Today we got briefed by James for our first project of second year, Landscape, Portrait and still life. At first, I was unsure about how I could link images of completely different subject matter, especially landscape as I have never really taken landscape images and didn't have any ideas of what landscapes to photograph and how they could be consistent.
I have decided to start by shooting landscapes and to build my work up from there as I will have a better idea of the direction I am taking. I know I want to base my work on similar to my exploration and investigation work, seen here, as I really enjoyed creating the aesthetic and think this is something I may want to build my professional practice around.

For initial inspiration, I have chosen to look at brands, and how they brand themselves with a specific aesthetic, and keep this consistent across all campaigns and across a variety of media, such as moving image. As part of our new brief we have to produce a 30second moving image clip. This is also something I am quite nervous about producing as moving image is something I have never really considered nor have been very interested in before as a medium; but I hope to rise to the challenge and from even briefly looking at a few AW16 campaign fashion films I am secretly even maybe looking forward to it a little. We'll see how it goes.
