“It is likely that the very first beings, single celled organisms that became capable of some sort of reproduction, did this through cooperation, and the efficient sharing of available resources. Focussing on competition likely would have just meant death.

Portrait Task
As part of our first day back on campus grounds, we were tasked with a portrait task that was a constructed way for us to all get to know one another, talk to people and maybe make new friends in the process.
Throughout the two studios, multiple set ups had been constructed for us, in each set up was a different diffuser, light source, reflector and let us play about with the different pieces of equipment available to us at that time.
The 3 photos above are from my first set up, for this I used:
•Beauty dish
•TRIFLECTOR
•DIFFUSER
•Wall reflector
•Grey background
•Camera: EOS 6D
•Lens: 24-105mm
I liked this set up a lot, it was simple and easy to use, but between the other set ups going on and the blind next to us unable to be pulled down, there was quite a bit of exposure. But I liked the outcomes nonetheless.
These photos are from my second set up:
•Two soft box strip lights
•Chair
•Same Camera and lens
•Pink background
I liked this set up lot, I enjoy using strip lights because they help to create strong catcheyes in the model. I also feel they add a rather moody look to my photos, especially when combined with the background. I liked this set up a lot.
This was my third set up:
•Beauty dish
•Snoot light (looks up from ground)
•Orange background
•Same camera and lens
•Camera trigger
I enjoyed this set up a lot! It was a very dramatic and moody atmosphered lightning style, between the orange background and the warmth of the light, this set up created rather dramatic shots for me.
All in all: I enjoyed my first day of year 2! It was fun getting to know some new people, especially when meeting people is a severe challenge for me thanks to my anxiety and aspergers, so it was really nice to be welcomed into a group who already knew one another. I found it daunting as everyone knew everyone but I didn't, so it was a big relief to be able to talk to people thanks to this task.
Martin Schoeller
In studio we were tasked to replicate one of Martin Schoeller’s portraits using strip lighting, at the beginning of the session, I was a little concerned I wouldn’t be able to pull off this image but by the end I feel I did better than I thought I would have thanks to the support from my models and my lecturer.

Introduction to digital camera work and lighting in a studio setting:
In this workshop I learned the basics of using a digital camera and setting up studio lighting, as well as utilising the random assortment of objects to compose a more interesting photograph,
In relation to Biophilia, I played around with the imagery of the Norse god Odin. For the photo with one eye obscured with flower, and the image of holding one's removed eye, I reference odins depictions of having sacrificed one of his eyes for knowledge.
The image of shrouded figure, I reference the fact that he is known as the God of the slain, the hanged God or the hanged one, the first name references the fact he claims those who die in battle and sends to his honored Hall of Valhall. He is knoen as a god of war and of death, the two which coincide with one another.
