My Typology of Food Waste

From my shoot at home yesterday

All images were taken with Canon Eos 2000d with Extension tubes, 3 ring set (12mm / 20mm / 36mm) and 18-55mm kit lens.

I used the college LED for lighting - 90° to left of subject it was set at it’s brightest and 4200 colour.

I used aperture f5.6 / f8 and ISO 800 for most of my images taken yesterday, I did experiment a little with the shutter speed and aperture settings, but that will be explained with individual screenshots, if relevant on my spark.

To edit / optimised I cropped all images to square in camera raw and did some basic optimising before opening in photoshop and resizing image.  I used a variation of curves / gradient / blend / levels to get the effects you see below.  I then opened an A3 canvas and added all the images to the canvas using the move tool / ctrl T / stroke.  This was saved as a psd and jpeg

NQ Photography 2021 - Postproduction Barbara Kruger Replica

For this project I used a photo I had taken a while back from a series of graduation portraits for a group of students with special needs who were about to leave Inverness college while I was studying there. I asked them each to bring two things they thought represented them or their interests, as I wanted to bring out aspects of their personality and show their character.

Barbara Kruger - Task 3

I chose to give the left half of the image a toxic waste vibe to enhance the viewers perception of the mass quantity of trash. When people litter many will think 'its just one piece', 'it will degrade', 'someone else will pick it up' but it all adds up to the point where not a single area of the photo I took has clear water. 9 billion tonnes of litter end up in the ocean each year.

Tiny Worlds an Intro–Viewpoints

  The phrase "point of view" in photography/filmmaking simply means the position from which the camera sees the scene. The POV shot is just one of many camera framing options. Point of view is the perspective from which a story is told. There are three basic points of view shot that are used in photography/filmmaking: 

 There are also three major POV used in literary which could be helpful for photographers/filmmakers too:

1.First Person Point of View (I) -  we are seeing events through the eyes of the character telling the story.

2.Second Person Point of View (You) -  In second person, the narrator is speaking to you.

3.Third Person Point of View (He, She, They) -  point of view, the narrator is describing what’s seen, but as a spectator...

.. and many more of unique ways to use the POV shot in photography/filmmaking. I share some of my photography POV research findings below:

                                              Photography

Bird’s-eye View

When photographing a subject from above, it is known as a “bird’s-eye view”.  Photographing from this point of view can make viewers feel as they are superior to the subject for example :) 

Eye Level

This is the most common way to photograph a subject. Photographing humans from eye level is fairly common.  After all, it is typically the way we regard most subjects in our day to day lives, especially other people so photographing animals from that POV will be unique as  we hardly get face-to-face with a fox, or a bird, or a snake.

Worm’s-eye View

Photographing from below is sometimes referred to as “worm’s-eye view”, as if you were a worm looking up at the world around you. This makes all subjects look very large, even if they are very small in reality and as opposed to images shot from above, subjects presented in this way look as though they hold power over the view.

Becoming the Subject

This point of view tends to be the most effective, especially when photographing human subjects. To use this technique, we should photograph subject from the point of view of the person interacting with the subject.

Juxtaposition

Shooting a subject from an "unexpected" angle and situation.

Dutch Angle

It is a type of camera shot at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame.

I have also research some information about POV in cinematography:

                                           Cinematography

Not-Your-Average POV

These kinds of POVs are great if you're showing your audience a world that is unlike the one they live in. Films set in space, on distant planets, and fantasy worlds.

Hidden Monster POV

 The hidden monster POV has been used countless times by countless filmmakers. It is a common trope of the horror genre, it has some very unique psychological and emotional affects.

Inanimate POV

The effects POV depends on where the POV is coming from. It has effect on viewer.  Shots like the ones you see in Breaking Bad turn the viewer into "mute witnesses" of crimes, misdeeds, and mishaps occurring on-screen.

  I have choice my Colosseum shape ashtray as significant object into my respond to “Tiny Worlds” project. I have photograph it from different points of view...

 ..and I have selected 1 image as a final one...

 POV impact much on photographic object chosen by me. Different point of view allow me to show an object from different perspective what finally has an effect of whole photograph. My chosen object has lots of different patterns and these can be shown using change of POV in so many ways, its size also could be presented in different scales. POV is crucial at story telling in photography/filmmaking/literary.
