Proposition......

        My intention was to use light to explore forms in different ways, to encourage the viewer to reconsider a number of mundane, ordinary, everyday objects and to highlight different ways of perceiving the form. I had a particular interest in emphasising the surface texture and pattern of forms, abstracting them from the obvious and pushing them towards standing as works of art in their own right.

  


The four objects which were selected for final images are banana,

a ball of twine, a cauliflower and a plastic bag.

Final Images for project 3

The subtle lines of the skin as it curves... the framing down the bottom  in a straight line set against the gentle curve above... the glowing light from behind...

the light emphasising the linear forms on the object... the strong contrasting shift from dark to light... the repitition of the vertical lines against the deeper ones of the horizontal...

High contrast... bubbling form... lighting emphasising the texture and 3D form.... abstraction through macro photography... 

the glowing yellow light within the form... what is inside it?... the organic shapes and curves within the object... two clear colour tones, yellow and white....

The beauty of the twirling pattern around the outside appears to almost fall in on itself in the centre.... the high contrast... lines disappear into the form, but we can't see what's there in the bright...

Becomes unclear where form ends and shadow begins... the finer details set beside the thicker lines... the uncontrolled, wandering appearence it has....

The solid, stiff appearence... looks crunchy to the touch... warm colour tones set against the black... hard lines.... transparent layers....

smooth....flowing....silky to the touch... no hard lines... looks like fabric.... abstract composition...



final objects : Banana, Cauliflower, Twine and Plastic Bag. 

B+W vs. Colour.....

Despite my artist models using black and white, I prefer the colour tone the lighting brings to my images.

Black + White

Referring to Artist Models, they both use black and white photography, to achieve higher contrast and more emphasis on the form rather than the colours and context....

VERY ROUGH

Manipulating images on photoshop to emphasis more the pattern, repetition of images to create different designs..?

Ideas to push forward with... >>

- documenting the whole form

- creating abstract forms 

- closer examination of the patterns and shapes within the object

- pure exploration of the texture (whole composition)

- looking at the texture and different texture effects you can create

Shoots 1 & 2

These are the contact sheets from the images I took over two shoots. 

I experimented with using light to create 'scenarios' with the forms (worms coming out of the onion), to explore abstract patterns which could be found in the compositions, to light within an object and see what that did to it, using extreme close-ups to create almost landscape like effects, and general transformation/questioning of everyday objects.
