DISPLACEMENT

Class Neg Edit

The image was cleaned using the cloning and patch tools and small changes were made in camera raw mostly changing the white balance and adjusting levels. I also removed the red lipstick mark from the glass as it was a distraction from the rest of the image when viewing.

People at Work

The aim of this project was to push your self out of your comfort zone and to think on your feet for the few minutes time that the subject has given you to photograph them in their work environment. Six images were to be shot and optimised in a very short time frame of one class day so that feed back could be given this made the project very challenging.

I found the project rather challenging as I am not the most confident of people but I went out and managed to get all six images not that they were the best but I feel the more I push myself by doing this the better I will become.

Shooting Hollywood Stars

Helen Levitt

“Street Photographer of New York in the 20th century who caught fleeting moments of surpassing lyricism mystery and quiet drama on the streets of NY”

Shows humour in an inventive way her subject was men woman and children acting out a daily drama on the streets. she was first recognised in 1943 her exhibition was held in the museum of modern art.

Most of her images are taken on the passing or from a distance with lots of empty/negative space. All are taken on B&W 35mm film, she was inspired by Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson

Arnold Newman

Newman is more of a close up and set up portrait photographer from what I can see most his shots are up close to show the person/subject most of his portraits look to be environmental portraits showing the subject in there works environment and the subject is very cantered in the frame. his images look to be 70s and he tends to photograph people of importance with the shot all ready set up for them.

Structure Evaluation

Aim

The aim of the “Structure” project was to take photos of a chosen structure, showing that I had considered: where the light would be coming from, the result of the light direction and what time of day this would happen - as this changes throughout the year. From taking images in the correct lighting, we were then to produce 5 final images from these. They were comprised of: 3 exterior shots (including prospective control), one of which showed the complete building. The other 2 images were to be interior shots, highlighting the interesting features of the building.

Pre Photoshoot:

Before shooting I checked the weather forecast the week prior I aimed to shoot to see which day would have the best weather conditions. I also used the website "The Photographers Ephemeris" (https://www.photoephemeris.com/) allowing me to take my photos in the best light as this would show me where the sun/light would be coming from throughout the day.

In the days running up to my shoot, I had been walking passed the building that I had chosen and was looking for the most appropriate areas to shoot from. In order to give me the maximum time for shooting on the day (and not running around various different locations) I picked 3 areas to shoot from and the 3 selected features I wanted to shoot. I ensured that this had been researched before I had even turned up for my shoot.

During the Photoshoot:

On the day, I turned up to shoot my “Structure” project, the weather was one of the best days of the year (so far) and there was a strong light falling on the building. I then shot my panorama of the building and my other 2 exterior shots. Personally, I would say that the biggest down fall of the weather being so nice, was that everyone was out in Glasgow - which proved taking the photos to be very difficult as there were so many people walking past or in frame.

After photoshoot:

During editing I realised that on my panorama, I had just left enough room at the edge of the frame to see the entire building. Although there was a wall cutting in from the side which I felt was ruining the image. As I was having to stick to a tight deadline, there was nothing I could do about this, however I have now learned a new skill on how to take and stitch panoramic photos together. I have also learned from this project that if you take multiples of the same image for the panorama and then stitch your panorama together, this will remove people who are moving through the frame. After shooting structure when editing I realised that some of my selections were just not quite fitting with the given brief this caused a bit of panic though after spending some time going through my files I managed to get another couple of shots witch turned out to be better than my initial selections, this has made me more aware of what to look out for when shooting on the day.

Conclusion:

I thoroughly enjoyed the project as I learned many new skills when shooting and editing my images. I also feel that this is form of photography is something I would like to experiment with and try more of. I think that I could have done with more time shooting my project - as this would have allowed me to fix any issues, for example; reshooting my panoramic photo to cut out people in the foreground, whilst leaving ample space at the edge of the building. Overall, I was happy with my project submission as I felt I had learned new valuable skills and also gained good results for a first attempt shooting in a new style and subject of photography.
