Capturing movement in photography

I wanted to try and capture movement in photography, i started by photographing my kitten, because she moves so fast i thought it would be a good way to try it out before moving outside.

I am still new to photography so i am trying to really see how to form a photograph, this image above, captures movement but there is too much going on in the back ground and it is low quality, this is a snap not a photograph. i decided to 'set up a scene' so to speak with what i had to hand.

I really like this image, i think because you can make out more of her face, but i think the second one really shows more movement. I used my Iphone to take these images and used the fast shutter speed to try and capture her moving.

I also decided to try and edit these i didn't do much just added a blue hue, Except for this one below.

I liked the pop of red in this image, but decided all the flowers red wouldn't look as good, so i decided to just edit all but one black and white. I then decided to try and capture more, i took photos of my hand with the fast shutter speed and then i over took a photo and overlaid it on top of itself over and over.

I quite like that this changes the mood to very dark with over laying, i wondered how it would look with just two images on top of each other multiple times.

I prefer this image to the top one, it is quite freaky and makes it look really deformed, which i like, i decided to try a lot of different images to see how that would turn out.

The first image has more layers,10, and the second one has 5 i really like the second image i think it really captures the movement in the hands. Quite a lot of fun! i find this very interesting and i am going to continue with it, i think it is a lot more interesting visually, to me, when something is in motion. I really like the images of my cat, i like the one with the flower in motion the best i think it just gives it an extra something, brings it to life a little bit. I think when continuing this i would move outside and try and capture some nature shots of perhaps cars in motion. A lot of ideas buzzing around in my head right now on what i can do, i think i am really starting to get more comfortable with a camera now and i am starting to really enjoy it. I started this course with my mind set on body painting and now i feel like my mind is starting to expand and i am having so much fun with all these different types of art i am trying out.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an association with

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual. I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion. Vogue I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and looks ver
