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.

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.

File format

JPEG - jpeg stands for ‘ Joint photographic experts group ‘ digital cameras compress raw photographs as jpeg images to make the files smaller in size, it is the most common file format for photo storage TIFF - tiff stands for ‘ Tag image file format ‘ tiff files do not compress to make for smaller files, because they are meant to preserve quality. They are higher quality images. PSD - psd stands for ‘ Photoshop document files ‘ and they are mostly used in adobe photoshop, they usually contain just the image but they also contain any layers or edits done within the file. RAW - a raw file is a file that has not been compressed, encrypted or processed, they are usually large in size as it is the rawest file of the image.
