After having my final Photography pieces done at the end of second term I still wasn’t happy about the results. I was still searching for something more. So I went out and photographed as much as I could. Here are some of the photographs that I have taken of reflections that led me to my Final Pieces:
Having to chose a project to do in the subject area for part of the Field module I have decided to become a part of the the Photography project with Chris Short and Mal Bennett. I wanted photography to become my point of focus this term as I was using it a lot within my Field Group project.
I started off photographing reflections and movements. I wanted my photographs to portray something more than just an image. I want the viewer to look deep into the photograph. Disarming the viewer – what is real? Looking at ‘reflection’ in more than a physical sense, metaphysical and psychological, too – Haunted and dreamlike atmosphere in the image. I particularity feel that my future focus will be the reflection and solidity within the image.
Here are some photographs showing the starting point for my idea and the final pieces I have chosen to display at the end of our 4 week project. These are NOT the final pieces I will be submitting for my final assessment in May. I am still planning on to work on the size, final images and I plan to experiment more with the reflections.
I used Black and White film to take these photographs and the final images were scanned and photo shopped in order to digitally print them.
