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.

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at. Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour. Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Typography Investagation.

We have started a new unit, typeface and letterforms. I found this very daunting, because, it is a completely new, huge world to me that i have never explored... We watched a film about Helvetica and it was very interesting but like i said i feel really overwhelmed. I wanted to know what happened before more in depth and really look into it as best i could. I decided to calm my nerves by looking into the history of type face, and to, i guess start at the beginning... for myself. while researching i found out that a lot of people agree that the creator of typography was a German man named Johannes Gutenberg. But before he came along books needed to be scribed, by hand. Obviously this was very time consuming, So Guttenberg created Blackletter. I think this was modeled after the scribe's. It has thick vertical lines, and thin horizontal connectors. This was hard for printing, as it looked very dense and squished together. So then came Roman Type, the first roman type was cr...

Photography : Rommert Boonstra & Laurie Simmons

For photography i wanted to look at artists who use models or staged worlds for their photography because its not something i looked into previous years. From moodel i came across Rommert Boonstra. He is a photographer, poet and theater director. He also taught photography at several art academies.He is well known for his Staged photography and he has Four books are published about his photo works. He uses everyday objects to create these worlds... I am pretty taken aback with these photographs and i am surprised there is not a lot about these images online. The only words i can find to describe them is other worldly. They look like completely different words, like something you would find in science fiction comic. They are just amazing. What i liked about these is the way he has used light and shadows to create the illusion of above and below, in the first 2. He has also used composition and perspective to make you feel like you are inside the world its self. I like...
