Still Life

In this assignment we had to capture images of everyday objects that we found out and about. What I enjoyed about this assignment is that the simplest of everyday objects could be transformed into really though provoking images. Some of my images came out far better than others as you can see.

This image is far too over exposed producing bright colours to correct for this I put the camera on a lower ISO and also dimmed the lights a bit to produce this image instead.

I prefer the much darker tone of this image as it produces more of a feeling of mystery than the previous image.

For my final image I chose to use a black background to draw attention to the objects as opposed to the background. I found that getting the lighting right on this image was very difficult. One side had to much light and the other side n0t enough. To get the right lighting I got a reflector to reflect the light onto the other side of the objects. This worked well and gave me the desired effect I was looking for.

Famous photo

6

It is hard to give an accurate time period for this photo due to their only being two people in it and there being a plain background. The clothes warn by both the people in the photo look fairly modern and the quality of the photo seems fairly modern. It is hard to give a location for this photo as it could be taken in any urban landscape around the world. Our eyes in the photo are drawn to the fact that these two people are seen bending over something on the floor. Upon further inspection we can see that they are picking up paper of the floor and it appears to be a photo of someone helping someone else who has just dropped some paper. Both subjects in the photo do not appear to be aware that they are having their photo taken.  I believe the photographer wanted to highlight how people go out of their way to help others even on a small scale.

Appropriation

This photo is the first of I’m sure many I will take whilst at Lincoln. The brief was to take a photo of another photo. I chose this advertisement in sports direct as I found it vibrant with bright colours and eye catching.  The boots are in centre frame as to draw the viewers attention. The arrangement of the boots infers a falling motion which can infer the view of success and raining money. The image is designed to make the viewer want and desire the football boots through further research of the shoes I found out that Nike use professional footballers to help advertise these shoes.
