EVALUATION

In the first part of this module, where I photographed people in their 20’s, it was technically challenging. I developed my skills at shooting in difficult lighting conditions at the same time as trying to be quick. I was happy with the photographs I did have, although I did have plans to improve some ofContinue reading “EVALUATION”

FINAL OUTCOMES

FINAL PRINTS These will be printed A0 on Pearl paper. PORTFOLIO PRINTS Printed 10×12 on Silk paper. ARTIST STATEMENT

TEXT/ TITLE/PAPER

Now I got the images, I have to look at the finer details like text and paper. One thing I have already decided on is the font. I have used ‘Myriad Pro’. This is because I wanted something very simple. I will use a dark grey font so that it is not as dark asContinue reading “TEXT/ TITLE/PAPER”

BOOK DEVELOPMENT

After feedback from other people, I have reviewed my landscapes and decided not to use them. I like the idea but they just weren’t the quality of the portraits. But from my research, I have found other ways that I can portray my message. When I experimented with book layout designs, the text was soContinue reading “BOOK DEVELOPMENT”

RESEARCH – HOW PEOPLE ARE PHOTOGRAPHING COVID-19

For inspiration I am going to look at how other photographers are documenting Coronavirus. One Bristol photographer uses his daily exercise to document people in their homes. He called the project ‘Covid Chronicles’ and when he takes peoples photos he asks for a line or two about how they feel about the situation.

SEQUENCING

BOOK To easily look at the sequence of my book I have printed out all the images I am going to use. This makes it easier to see what photos work best together. Firstly I spit both the landscapes and portraits into categories. For the landscapes this included ones that had water in, ones thatContinue reading “SEQUENCING”

BOOK RESEARCH

Before I finalise my book layout, I am going to look at other photo books and what works best in them. I looked on Josef Chladek’s photobook website. This site is really useful at browsing and viewing photo books. As my work is mainly portraits, I tried to look for more books on portraiture. TheContinue reading “BOOK RESEARCH”

EDITING (P2)

I now have all my final photos which means it is time to edit them. I am keeping the portraits as natural as possible so I will be focusing on colour correction and cropping. Each photo was slightly different as the light changed between them but I mainly followed the same process. The first thingContinue reading “EDITING (P2)”

SHOOT 14

As I am coming to the end of my module, I have decided to finish shooting the portraits. It has been a challenge trying to find people willing for me to come to their house and also people who were in walking distance for me to be able to go there as part of myContinue reading “SHOOT 14”

PHOTOBOOK IDEAS

I only have a few more portraits to shoot now as I am aiming for roughly 10 successful images. The next step after that is to produce my final outcomes (large prints and a photo book). Usually I like making zines of my work, which I do at university. I like the process of makingContinue reading “PHOTOBOOK IDEAS”
