One of my edited images from my re-shoot for my studio assignment trying to incorporate natural items with jewellery. On my first shoot I didn't use any jewellery and it was just by means of testing out lighting and how I was going to shoot them! I used one spotlight with my items against a piece of black material; this was improved the second time by using one of the studio cutters. I guess it's a strange combination but I enjoy it! I'll upload more final photographs tomorrow after I have sorted them and converted them to JPEG to upload!
This second image was a little experiment for my location fashion assignment; looks nothing like the making of a location fashion shoot but bare with me! The means for this was to just see how talcum powder worked as a form of powder which I could use in my photoshoot.
I've discovered that I need to take several factors into consideration; wind direction and the amount of talc - the bottle ran out very quickly.
It was enough for me to see that talk is quite visible in daylight and would be good to use. I may yet try different powders such as flour but for now, I am pleased.
Spent today doing a reshoot of my still life bones and feathers images! I think they were an improvement to my first photographs however I still need more to go with my series overall.
I shall upload some example images later on.
My gaffa tape exhibition today from my group task of creating a still life documentary from a video one :D
With thanks to Ruth Jones :)
Some example business card designs, front and back!
Three very rough edits from my still life shoot yesterday including bones and feathers; none of these have been cropped in any way just edited slightly.
Emphasis on the word rough as I've not spent loads of times editing them >w<
Where next?
To experiment further with a matte black surface to put my items on top of and to try and incorporate suitable jewellery into my shoots.
I am also trying to get a hold of a skull to add to my series too.
A preview of what I what I did yesterday.
Yesterday's shoot with my bones and crow feathers didn't go as well as I plannned I don't think; time to improve though.
May upload some final images or edits later once I've gone through them all and sorted them out. :)
I've got some studio time today to do some more work on my still life assignment; crow feathers and sheep bones it shall be! If the shoot goes badly then it'll be a trip to the butchers to question where I can potentially get a sheep skull from.
Pessimism is just a higher form of optimism. If you expect nothing from people, then you go through life being pleasantly surprised.
I just saw someone Quote this on Facebook and I think it's brilliant.
Final edited images from my derelict building assignment!
Today my crow feathers arrived off eBay! Now all I need to do is to find a bird's nest and to get some jewellery which would go well with my items then I'll be all ready for shooting in the studio on Monday. :)
The photograph above taken by Jason Pietra is my current inspiration for my new studio assignment: to integrate jewellery with dead things.
I've already looked at skulls and replica skulls on eBay and have a few in mind which I like, now I need some fancy beads or a nice ring to put it with.
A birds nest and maybe some feathers too so I can recreate a series. :)
Aim for today:
To get all of my UCAS application sorted with or without a reference.
I need to finish off my education section, my personal statement, get a reference and send everything off.
My 'Dear Photograph' inspired photographs of myself when I was a baby for my narrative piece based upon myself. :)
So very bad at writing my personal statement... it is very much evident English Language isn't one of my strengths.
After going back to college today they have decided that for everyone in the college, if all outstanding assignments aren't handed in on Monday then we have to take a whole entire week out of lessons separated from everyone else 9-5pm to sit down and get it all done. I can see myself being amongst these people but I'm going to try not to to get there.
It'd be good for me and it'd get all of my work done but urgh,
If I gave a damn about my font size being too small, I would make it bigger, thank you very much Publisher. -_-
Yey for ICT.
I've gone through all of the photographs which I had taken yesterday at RAF Upwood and I've narrowed them all down to these 24. Still need to go through them again but it gives you an idea. :)
