Vegan food series.

I wanted to continue my cyanotype's but it has not been very sunny, i think it is something i will go back to ether for my photography unit, as i had a few ideas, Or i could keep it for future units.

Recently i have been living a vegan lifestyle and after i little slip up over the last month, i decided to get back on it. I thought about it and i wanted to do another series on something that i feel passionately about. Eating vegan food is my lifestyle and therefor is my world and my view.

One question i hear all the time, that really annoys me, is " If you vegan, what do you eat?". It is ether i genuine question, or a question that the person asking, dose not want an answer too. Before i was looking at macro photography, i really liked that as i enjoy the detail you get in a macro lens, but when i was at the Haining i really liked the panoramic images i could take on my phone, this got me thinking could i do macro panoramic photography? I looked it up but i could not find anything. So i decided to give it a go and try and answer what do i eat?

I really like the texture and strong colours in fruit and vegetables. For a vegan diet fruit and veg is a staple food so i decided to start there as i usually eat fruit for my breakfast.

pomegranate

The pomegranate is more solid but i think that works well with the seed to the right of the image and you can see how water dense the fruit is. I like how pure fruit is and clean looking. I really like the way these turned out, the banana turned out well as i can see all the groves in the banana and i like the silver tones, i like the way the panoramic camera has cut the image up i think it gives a good textural feel for the way the fruit looks in the flesh and when you eat it.

Banana

Dates & walnuts

The inside of dates has always looked really nice to me, like thread, again i kept it quit solid by keeping my hand steady as i moved it over the food, but the walnuts i made quite chopping to try and capture that crunch. I want to continue by chopping up some veg i really wanted to think about getting the feel for the food in the image, how it tastes and feels in real life. so i will work on that over the next few days. but i am excited to see how this progresses.

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 ...

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 loo...
