Week 14...

Monday 13/12/10
Today I started setting up a shoot for my tension and movement project. I decided to go and buy a ball of string and unravel it during my shoot. I was at home so I set up a mini light and put tracing paper over it to diffuse the light.Below are some of the images I took for this shoot.

Here is one of the first images I took using the mock up studio in my living room. I like this picture because of the lighting on the ball of string. I like how the subtle the light is. However, if I could take this picture again , I wish I could change where the ball is on the picture as I think it would look better if it was in the centre of the photograph.

Above is another image I have taken , I prefer this image to my first one as I think there is more interest in this image then the first one. I also like the compsition of the image.

Today I looked at editing my pictures. I decided that the pictures would look a lot better if they were in black and white.Below are some of the images I have edited for my final pieces.

This is one of the pictures that I have taken and then turned in to black and white. I am quite happy with this photograph as the lighting is subtle and theres more interest than just a ball of string.

This is another one of the pictures I have turned in to black and white. The only thing I like about this image is the lighting. I dont think the picture works as a whole but if I were to retake this image I would use a proper studio and make sure all the string fills the photograph.

Again , like the image above this is one of my least favourite photographs.





Overall with this project I do not think this was my strongest idea. I think the concept of it would be good if the rope was found somewhere rather than me buying the string myself.I think the mock up studio was a good idea as I got to work with techniques that I learnt in previous weeks with Rob in the studio.

However, if I were to do this project again , I would consider doing a different project than this, I would pick something that still relates to my work , but has more scope for mw to improve my work.
