My Visual Logbook

These images were the first images which I took on a disposable I really liked the aesthetic of the images and the colour palette the flash and the camera gives the images. I took the first three images in Barcelona and the fourth at home. The hostel we stayed in in Barcelona was really good for Corinne Day style imagery as a lot of us were in a room together which made it easier to photograph when people weren't expecting so that it remained natural and unstaged. 

My favourite four images are below. 

I found this type in Tim Walker's Storyteller really interesting, the way the type is set out and staggered changes the way the viewer reads it and this manipulation sets the tone for the rest of the book.

My favourite book from today was a cute little booklet made from a single sheet of A4 paper. I love how simple the format is and how detailed the illustrations are. I don't think this layout is suitable for my narrative however it is a great idea for a small travel journal and I really want to make my own version with little doodles and splashes of colour. 

One of my favourite and strongest images from my ski shoot is this one below. My model is positioned well and I like the long shadow and the contrasting colours of their outfit against the crisp snow. I envisioned this shot to be printed across a double page spread, as it would make sense as both one whole image but also in half as two separate photographs. For this effect to be more striking I wanted the landscape to be bare of any distractions including other skiers, and the poles representing where the piste starts and ends. I removed these in photoshop and moved my model across to the right hand side of the image as this balances the photograph well with the chalet in the top left. This landscape shot is very dramatic and I'm excited to show everyone in my next group crit. 

For my second shoot I wanted to do a similar style fashion editorial to my previous one before christmas. I was away skiing over the christmas holidays and used this as a ideal opportunity for a shoot amongst the snow covered mountains. 

This is above image is one I consider not to be as strong. The previous image above is another wide shot landscape which is a lot stronger and very similar, and I wouldn't put both images together in the same narrative because of this direct comparison.

This photograph is definitely one of my favourites from this series. The colour of the goggles draws the focus immediately towards them, giving the possibility that the narrative could be based around the goggles, maybe selling them. The styling of the model is bright and this colour pop against the white, slightly over exposed background is really intense and effective.
