Photography

When doing these experimental images we were cutting up the images and scanning them back in and changing them each time we did this, so we would change the color using hue and saturation or we would use the different distorting techniques like the twirl.  The next time we did it we were told to either change it digitally or to do some physical changes to it, so I decided to add some text to it to do with my theme, and then we are told to scan it back in and make more changes. When I did it next I decided to try to print with it in the darkroom which it did not come out the best as it is very white, but you can still see some of the image.

With my second contact sheet I think this one was more successful then the first as I managed to edit some of the images and put them on the contact sheet but also I managed to get a lot of different images and different times of the day. I think the same as the last contact sheet that I responded well to the brief and the images go with the theme of walkways and paths. I think to develop my idea further I am going to make all of my images black and white as I feel like this distorts them even further to what I am going to do when I edit them. I am going to improve them further by taking the images at different time of the day and trying to get more incloses walk ways as I feel like this would add a more meaningful approach to the project. I think my two most successful images are image number 1 and 19. I think that image 1 has a lot of room to be able to edit and do different things to it and it also looks better in monochrome than it does normally, I think it is a good example of a w...

As my first contact sheet this was more of a test shoot, but I think I responded to the brief well my initial idea was to make the images blurry and add grain and different textures to make them look like the brief title 'fragmented time'. The images I think were good as I wanted to get walkways and possibly people in them as I think walkways represent time well as a lot goes on in them and I just overall thought that it would be a good theme for my project. I am going to develop the theme further by adding in people and maybe doing a shoot in the dark as I think that this would look good when it comes to editing the images. I think my most successful images was image 1 and 5. I really likes image 1 as the stairs added more depth into the image and I think it will be quite a nice image to edit further as the different colours from the graffiti and all of the noise in the image I think it will go well to edit with. I also really likes image number 5 as kind of the same as image ...

For my overall project my first idea was grainy and making the images look distorted in time as i thought that it went well with the project "fragmented time" But i decided to change my idea slightly as i thought the new idea would fit in with the project better, my new idea is going to be disappearing memories and fading memories which i think with the images that i have taken would suit the theme better.

This image is meant to look like dreams/memories fading away.

CMYK – CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW KEY, is used in the printing process, ‘subtractive’ RGB – RED GREEN BLUE, taken from primary colours, ‘additive’ Colour gamut – subset of coloured determined by your output device for example a monitor. Adobe RGB Calibrate – to check, to correlate, to compare to adjust Yves Klein Garry Fabian Miller – interest in light and time Benedicte Kurzen and Sanne De Wilde With these images we did some work in class and it was to change the CMYK and RGB and then layer 10 images on top of each other and see how they came out, changing the opacity each time and using different coloured images each time.

With this shoot we were set a task about showing 'fragmented time' in the studio and we decided to do thing by doing a long exposure as it shows time passing by as you can see from the images.

Mishka Henner was born on the 8th June 1976 and is a  Belgian artist  living and working in Manchester, England. Mishka Henner is an expert appropriator who uses the tools of the digital age to reveal information and archive imagery concealed within a sea of online data. Renowned for his Google Earth visuals—particularly his  Oil Fields and Feedlots  series “There came a point where working with photography meant that most of my time was spent on the computer. It struck me that the screen itself could almost be a canvas, and that the internet holds within it an abundance of material.” Henner comments that this, along with literature on artists working with appropriation (notably  The Pictures Generation ) drew him to realize that the success of every artistic generation lies in its ability to embrace its moment through the technology and optics of its time and place.  “There came a point where working with photography meant that most of my time was spent on...

- Foam - Vogue - Aperture - Modern Photography - British Journal of Photography - ID magazine - Frieze - Lens culture I am most interested in Foam magazine as it has a mixture of genres of photography and I think that it ties in with my theme of my images. also really like the layout of the different foam magazines, I think that they are very unique. The Foam Magazine is an international photography magazine.  Foam magazine is mainly for people who love art and photography and who are interested in seeing other people art work. Foam Magazine is published three times a year. Each issue is dedicated to a  specific theme  that is explored through work by both world-renowned image makers and newer, emerging talents. Accompanying essays, interviews and opinions by experts in the field come together to shape an in-depth and critical conversation.

Daisuke Yokota was born in Saitama, Japan in 1983. His use of experimentation in his images is used as a distraction to eliminate information and narrative, and this continues with what Daido Moriyama et al began when they responded to life in post war Japan with an aesthetic known as 'are-bure-boke' (literally, grainy, blurry, out-of focus) and this allowed photography to be considered as strictly for its material nature and removed any kind of reality. “I try to keep away from figuring out the exact place, or person in my images. In this way the viewers can easy to put themselves into them,” Yokota says multiple processing and experimentation are also integral to his practice. “There are no stories in my work. There is only what the viewers find within it for themselves. I am more interested in exploring time and multiple possibilities that exist in reality.” The images that are included in his 'Back Yard' series illustrates things being gracefully messy in there appe...

Hiller's career didn't start till she moved to London. I really like her work as I don't really think that it is similar to mine but I think that it tries into a bit with my memories theme and how I play with it. “I always wante...

Bit Depth What is bit depth? -  Colour depth or colour depth, also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, in a bitmapped image or video framebuffer, or the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel.
