Continuing with pano macro

Before i started my vegetables i did one more fruit as i was eating melon at the time...

Melon

I think this turned out well i was trying to capture the texture of water and it being smooth but also having that grainy texture while eating it by moving my hands when taking the image. When i get back to college i am going to edit these and see if i can help express the colour or to just play around. I took the image below before this one, it didn't turn out how i wanted it but i really like it.

I love the separation in the middle and the two different colours on each side, i think it is visually pleasing because of the colours being quite nude but also contrasting in a way. It was a mistake but made me think about how i compose these images and how i want to express them.

Cucumber

These cucumber images i took all turned out differently and it was quite hard to capture it smiler too the water melon but i like how the last image turned out, i was thinking about biting into it, the skin then crunch then the water and i feel i caught this quite well.

Mango

This one of of a melon i think is ok but i think is a bit boring, i decided to try and add the skin in...

This one turned out a bit blurry but i liked the green and orange colours, i think these look quite like paintings and look quite abstract.

I really like the colour burst on this one, i think again it captures the texture of the fruit well and when i cut it with a knife it left ridged marks on the fruit so i wanted to try and capture that. i really like the last cucumber one and the second melon one, i think they turned out well. I am just playing around with this idea and seeing where it takes me.

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

Starting experimenting with photography

After looking into the work of Henry Weston i decided to try and experiment,first, with negative space. It was something that stood out to me a lot in some of his work, as i spoke about in my report. i started by just taking a few pictures as i noticed it around me. I think these are a very interesting start and have a lot of potential, i decided to play around with the editing a bit by cropping them, changing the contrast and making them black and white. i like this image and i think composition wise it works. i also think it looks good in black and white as it has gotten rid of the chance of clashing colours and sets a different kind of mood. The subject is in focus and it looks quite sharp. I cropped it a little and changed the contrast and exposure. i prefer this image to the top one as i like the spacing between the feet compared to the first one i think it is more visually pleasing, i also rotated this image just as an experiment. ...

Experimenting with photography - identity

I started off this series of experiments by thinking about myself, how i see myself and how i choose to be seen, how do i identify myself? I started thinking this when i was doing my report on Art Wolfe, looking at his human canvas photographs i wanted to do something with body painting, and i am working on that. But i wanted to try out digital editing first, i enjoy this kind of art and wanted to experiment with it. I started by taking a picture of myself, nothing fancy just me in front of a white background. I have always thought about myself as someone who struggles with identity, in some ways i feel like i stand out but in other ways i feel like i can blend into a background or a crowd when i want too. i kept this thought going by blurring out my face in the photograph. I then decided to change the face and background white to match each other, i liked the way this image looked and felt like it expressed my feelings of no identity. but not strong enough about hiding...
