Task 3, TIME 

In this task we had the option to select one of the following to produce a series of images to display on our blog & print off 9" x 6".

I have chosen TIME as my project.  I carried out some research before I started and based some of my images around my research.

Image 1, Photographer unknown

Image 2, By Julie Morrison

In this image I have used my own studio on location with a high key set up against a white wall. The models where marketing their own make up styles I have used the eye in this image as its bright colours and its sharp. I have then edited it later to add a cock dial over the eye for time similar to the image above.

Image 3, I have used an egg timer & then placed in on a product table with a black backdrop. The lighting used has been a snoot with flash and a red filter over the snoot held by Fanni to create a 3D effect.  In post editing I have then used a pen with soft brush to create sound waves as best I could however Im not very good at drawing so I have done the best I can.  Around the image I have types numbers in to create a boarder effect.

Image 3,

In this image I have used scrabble and then used words relating to time including Eternity, Distance & Past with past slightly being out of focus. I have taken the image using the product table with a black back drop. I have used the snoot light again with no filter over it just a soft light and a black reflector to the right of the letters. Some light in the room for health & safety reasons. 

In editing I have upped the contrast in the image and I have also changed the colours to darken the letters as the light was over the letters and was taking away the point I was trying to make in the image with the letter being placed one behind each other with past being at the back. 

Unit 25

Task 1, HIGH - MID & LOW KEY IMAGES

In this task we had produce a series of images that showcased a personality and then printed of a High, Medium & Low key print 9" x 6" for each print.

In this shoot I have used my daughter Robyn and got her to just act like she normally does messing around and being playful.

Image one High Key - Studio location in my house using an umbrella and a soft box on the left & the umbrella on the right.

Image two Mid Key again using a umbrella but adjusting the aperture to soften the light and again with the Soft box.

Later in photo shoot I have editing Robyn's eyes to bring out the brown more and make them sharp. I have also upped the contrast.

Image three Low Key

In this low key image I have come in close to Robyn and used on the soft box directly in front of her.  Later in Photoshop I have upped the contrast.

Each of these image have been printed off and passed to Bill for assessment.

Task 2 of Unit 25

In this unit we had to produce two images that relate in some way to our personality 

Here are my images and why I have chosen to do these images discussing why they show my persona and what they mean to me.

Image one taken by Julie Morrison. 

This image is a champagne glass filled with champagne and then I have injected Ink to show that alcohol is poison to me and that its no good for for me to drink as I don't to it very well if I drink to much.

I have used a product table and then placed bright colour feathers on the bottom to create a happy party mood normally relating to parties and socialising. Enjoying yourself however at the top I have shown the darker side o drink with the dark background and the ink & syringe.

To take this image I have used the product table and then placed a black cloth over it to add the depth in the image.  The light has been placed to right using a snoot with a snoot over it. This has created a bright focused light o the feathers and then a darker cast over the ink being put into the glass.


Product shot 2 to follow

Umbrella

Again with this image I have used bright colors as I feel that my personality is bright and colorful.  I have placed some feathers into an umbrella again using a product table with the light coming from the right hand side looking down onto the product.

I asked Ste to help me by dropping some of the feathers down onto the umbrella to create some movement in the shoot.  The colors' in the feathers are so bright and stand out.

Later in photoshop I have upped the contracts and adjusted the curves to sharpen the overall Image.

Here is an image by and unknown artist that I have found and got my inspiration from.

This image has been shoot in a studio with direct light on it. I loved the brightness in the image and the colurs stand out.
