For my Final images i had decided to focus on still life. I have all my images on a USB. But these are the Unedited and edited final images.
As i said in my previous blog post, i became very interested in using the theme of still life. I like it because it gives an insight into how i, and other people, see objects.

I wanted to reference Alison Watt, as my images reminded me of her work I had looked at in my painting unit. I think its better to look at other inspirations outside photography and photographers when taking images.
If you want to design a kettle, don't look at other kettles...
I also came across a photographer called Vilde Rolfsen. He uses lights to photograph plastic bags, making them appear like abstracted landscapes.
I have always been interested in the beauty of things considered rubbish or unattractive. I can always see so much more in an object than i feel other people do, and i am sure they see more in an object than i do. Trying to capture that through photography is something that i find very difficult at times, but interesting.
I started looking at objects and trying to capture the beauty i saw in them. I eventually ended up taking images of bags as i was interested in how the camera can pick up the textures of the bag and i found it worked really well when placed them on a light box.
I then took these images and for my final 10 i decided to lay them over each other to try and create something that the viewer might not initially see as a bag but see abstracted forms and colours that would appear attractive but is actually just a bag that would be thrown away.
I am happy with my final images and i think they work with the theme of the unit.
I just enjoyed taking these images, i enjoy photography and i think i find it so easy to get bogged down and stressed out that i forget sometimes to find the joy in what i do and forget that making art is what makes me most happy.
