This Image, like the other, Is mainly all in focus although the back two buildings have a slight blur about them. This interesting as it makes the image look like a painting and unrealistic. Almost as though the front two building are real but the others aren't. The red house running along the bottom of the photo is the brightest part of the image. This creates contrast to the rather dull building and sky in the back drop. The two buildings running perpendicular to each other contrast the the two in the back for the front two have geometric edges but the two in the back have more organic edges. However, the red building running along the bottom also dissatifies the direction of the image and buildings. This image is composed in a way so it looks abstract. if the composition wasn't the same is would just be a regular image of buildings.

HOMEWORK...For these images I decided to focus mostly on shadow and reflection. I decided not to include too many colours so that they will suit each other. The direction in many of these images flow down and then disperses diagonally out. Some don't have a direction and therefore have a sense of stillness or have many directions creating a sense of conflict and confusion. Others have just one direction. I think the top middle image is my favourite as the small light at the top disperses into rays and this creates a sense of relaxation and harmony. I further feel this for there are no harsh contrast apart from the bright light. However, this light is soft. Next time I will focus more on colour so it doesn't created Such a monochromatic feel.
ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN IN SCHOOLFor this task we where asked to take abstract photographs around the school focusing mainly on two of the key elements. I decide to focus on light and focus.

This is my favorite image out of all as the vibrant yellow really bursts out and you cannot tell what the image is of. This makes the image abstract, further adding to this is the organic lines made my the reflection of the sunlight. This is a natural photo not taken by a man made object and there for can never be re taken. This adds a mysterious feel to this image creating a meaning. This again makes it more abstract. |
"I worked for a while as a photographer. Some years into this I noticed a surplus of black and white prints that was accumulating - especially prints that had been dodgily exposed or developed. I was reluctant to throw them out. In time I started to cut them up - finding the essential in the sum of disparate parts by conjuring a new work."

This task was inspired by Patrick Lears' work and practice. We picked some old unused photograms that where turned over and we weren't allowed to see. This would make the final result more abstract and stop us from overthinking.We where also allowed to colours. These where the collages I came up with.
www: I believe my favourite out off all is the top left as it incorporates a colour palette of a monochrome of pink with colours popping out. This is a break from a usual image's reality as people create monochrome's of black and white but for this image it is pink. This could also show a less cold dreary mood but a warm welcoming one. However, this broken by the sharp line and dull colours off the triangle and other parts of the photogram. This could show something invading another. EBI: |
This image is my favourite out of them all. This image is of light reflecting off an earring. I Iike this image because the contrast between light and dark create a strong intensity and hightens the drastic sense of the array of light. Even though most of the image is dark there is still a sense that its day because of the bursts of light that would be able to be accomplished at night. |
