Final Pieces

Walk 1- work diary

Evaluation of session: 

When we were first told that we would be going for a walk to shoot i was unsure of what to take pictures of as i couldn't think of anything that would show journey, that why most of my photos are of Autumn colours and back of heads. It wasn't until the second walk that i realised how to show journey through a photo.

This photo shows autumn colours as there are green and red leaves. I like this photo as i like how it shows more than one formal element, it shows lines, with the branches of the bush and the veins on the leaves. As well as this it shows contrast between the green and red leaves and colour, as there is a lot of different greens, reds and browns in the photo. I also like how the edges of some leaves are red but the inside is green, this shows the progression into Autumn.

The second photo i have chosen to write about again shows autumn colours. I like this photo as the sun is behind the leaves so it makes the contrast more apparent between the pale yellow leaves and the darker green leaves. As well as this it makes the branches of the tree look black so they agin contrast with the pale yellow leaves. I also like how the sun is bend the tree rather than facing it, usually in photography we are told to ensure that the sun is bend us became taking a picture but in this photo i liked how the sun behind the leaves made the yellow and light green leaves look brighter and the dark green leaves darker so there is a bigger contrast.

Progression:

If i were to go out and reshoot the walk, i would make sure to take more  photos that show a journey, as well as this i would want to use people in my photographs as none of the ones i took during this session (other than back of head) ha people in them. I also think red to take more back of head photographs as even though i took quite a few i think i could have taken better ones if i payed more attention to the backgrounds.

Self assessment

Over the next 4 weeks i am going to add more to my work diaries as i don't think that i have evaluated the session and the photos i had taken in enough detail or written enough for the progression. Similarly i am going to add more to my image bank and i don't think that i had described the photographs i found in enough detail.

I am also going to reshoot studio contrast, location back of head, Mapplethopre studio and do another physical experiment as i am not happy with one of the ones i had previously completed.

As well as this i am going to look over my photographer research again to ensure that i have completed them fully in detail, if not then I'm going to add more to them.

I am going to add more to all of the connecting essays as they are very short and only have brief descriptions.
