All comes together (photography)

Since the last week of photography I made a the amendments to the images that I took last week. This is what I did.

I desaturated the image to add another level of depth to the image. I plane to have 8 images four of which will be in black and white.

I had to do a bit more editing to this image than I would have liked however the outcome was much better than I thought. I rotated the image so that I am sitting up right and cropped the image so that only myself and the words.

During the week I managed to take the rest of the images for my final piece. The first of which is a statement about capitalism. I borrowed heavily form an image that I used for my conceptual studies comparisons. the painting was called column on the march and depicts the loss of individuality that is an inevitable result of war. I changed this around to show the loss of individuality in capitalism and also a critique of free market capitalism.  

The next image was a comment on the public's addiction to blaming media for society's problems. This is one of the images that I took.

Recently Katy Perry appeared of Sesame Street but the episode was banded because her cloths were deemed to skimpy. 

Time to start (photography)

In class I started to look more in-depth into the Jim Goldberg. I my opinion the genius of his work is in the explanation of that the text brings to the images. However the power is still kept in the images themselves. I point of my rambling is that the images still have to be strong and well constructed in there composition for the image to be strong over all. All of the elements have to be high quality. This means that all of the skills that I have learned will have to be used to make the images look good alongside the text.

Outside of the classroom I began making the images for my final piece. I am going to make images that reflect my personal opinions about things using the text and imagery. The text will be made buy had and physicality placed into the images. I don't want to use Photoshop for the images unless I have to make then black and white and can't to it with the camera. The first image will be about feminism and its anti sociality mentality. Briefly I what to demonstrate that it one is to stay in society they must participate regardless. I wanted to have an image of a woman participating in sexual acts and text text to read independent woman. These are some of the image That I took.

I tried different combinations of words but in the end I stuck with "independent black woman" and the bottom image. This is because this is a well know sentence and has its own baggage that I feel adds to the theme when coupled with this image. 

The next image that I wanted to make was a statement about the lack of freedom in the UK. My political views are very libertarian and some things like smoking bans really annoy me. I wanted an image of me sitting in the cold naked holding a fag to show the length we have to go to for freedom. This week it snowed and I wanted an picture in the snow however I had no idea when the snow would go so I had to make the image quickly. Further more it was cold so I decided to take the image on automatic and fix any problems in Photoshop later. This is the last time I want to use Photoshop for these images. these are the images that I took.

I took this pictures in the alleyway by my house (way form people). I don't like the lighting and the slanted angle of the image so ill fix these images in Photoshop.

FRESH (textiles)

Decided that I would be good to add some text to my designs seeing as how I like it so much. I researched a bit of Carson and thought of ways that I could make the scarf's, there's all different types like long, extra long skinny so on.I think it might make more scene to make to scarf's, that way I can separate the colours to stop it looking like a rainbow and then I can make to different types. I thinking male and female. 

   I didn't do as much work as I normal do today, It might be because ideas were just coming together this time instead of been born. Next week I'll start making the scarf's in time for the 6th week. I'm going to reuse the screen form the original prints that I did.this will save time over time.

   I want to include everything that I have learned, embroidery, printing and so on so that they were not waisted.

Mid way (Vis-Com)

While I was away for the class in the week I was able to make some characters that I would base my illustration on. They were inspired by a poster I used in my research for my digital apps lessons saul bass. these are the characters.

angle in devils clothing

the angle of death

the mother figure

these in the theme of good and evil. I then went on to make this illustration.

I used the lesson to analyses the illustration and document what I liked and disliked and what could be improved.  

7 grams (photography)

We experimented with camera-less photography today. The first part of this was learning about the dark room. There is a red light in the dark room bemuse this is the only type of light that doesn't affect photo paper. the photo paper is placed on a light table and then objects are placed on top of it, I used scissors of the first. You simply have to turn on the white light for seven seconds, and place the paper into the chemical solutions. This is the results.

Also during the week I took pictures around collage that related to high and low perspectives. This can be used to place with dominants and submissiveness and the over all narrative of a photo. This could have been a very a good them and could have plased out wit me making a story board or even a photo movie.
