Contact sheet and evaluation 1




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 1 I think the graffiti adds the 'fragmented time' as it shows peoples presents and I also think the way the image has been lit will make it look better edited. I think with refining my concept down I will try to focus on getting people into the images and also trying different times of the day. But overall I think it was a successful first shoot.

"Language is a direct medium and communicates meaning and intention  straight . A photograph, on the other hand, is subject to the viewer’s memory, aesthetics, and feelings—all of which affect how the photograph is seen. It isn’t conclusive the way language is. But that’s what makes photography interesting. There’s no point in taking photographs that use language in an expository way." Moriyama has spent his life photography dirty stairwells neon signs and the same locations in Japan in black and white. “Black and white work is closer to what I consider the essence of photography,” He became most popular during the Provoke movement which was based around his very experimental photography using the  grainy aesthetic and gritty subject matter. One of his first major series was called 'Japan : a photo theatre" was a book published in 1968 and it was about the vast urbanisation that was experience in Tokyo and more in Japan life in the middle of the Second World War.

Final evaluation for fragmented time

 I think overall I am very happy with my concept, theme and my final outcomes for this project, my initial idea was to show distortion though walkways and paths by editing my images on photoshop to make them look this way, but instead I decided to change my idea slightly to make it look like memories are disappearing which I thought was a much better idea and it went better with the overall concept as it flowed better and it also had a much deeper meaning to it and I think that it was a bit more thoughtful, as at the start I didn't really have a concept and I looked into different artist and came up with one but at the start I don't think it was very strong, but through more thought process and more research, and aswell through classwork and getting feedback I came up with a much stronger idea. I think that the images taken were very strong and prorated my idea well, the images were a little basic as they are walkways and paths but I think that I have developed it to be much mo...
