For our personalized project I was paired with Emma.
We used an iPad to take pictures of light and shade e.g shadows or natural light (We used the app cross process).
Below are the photos that we took that included shadows and light. For example: shadows on walls.

Homework: Photos of patterns with a mobile cameraFor our homework we had to take pictures of things that had texture and pattern with our mobile phones.

I like the pictures of patterns that I took for my homework. I took pictures of floors, bags, walls, tables etc. I wouldn't normally notice how everything has such a detailed pattern but having to take pictures of patterns made me notice all of the small detail that is around us. Taking pictures of patterns is actually quite fun, it gives you a chance to take millions of photos of ordinary things and turn them into something interesting that people would look at and wonder as to what it could be when in reality it is just a floor or a wall etc. |
Our GCSE photography trip
On Wednesday the 28th of November we went on a photography trip.
We went to a Tim Walker exhibition. His photos were very artistic and different. He combined over sized objects with people, this made the photos look unearthly and strange but, what is so brilliant about this type of photography is that it is eye capturing. Some of his photo's were quite scary and made me feel a bit disturbed but also made me very interested in the picture.
On our photography trip we took photos with iPod touches. Below are a few pictures that I took.
Apart from the weather making the day very cold, it was a fun experience.

Exhibitions and Response
On the 28th November our photography class visited Somerset house on a school trip. We went to two exhibitions - Cartier-Bresson: A question of colour and Tim Walker, story teller.
The two exhibitions are different. Tim walker's exhibition was very unusual and strange, but that's what made me really interested in his work because it was so different and original. He used childhood objects such as dolls and over sized them, creating imaginary worlds. Near the end of the exhibition there was a small room with small pictures of a girl and a huge doll. The pictures were in order and telling a story. There was text on the wall of enlarged pieces of paper explaining the story in planned detail. In the corner of the room before exiting the exhibition, the large doll was there. It was very creepy. |
He uses the pictures to create stories.

Out of both exhibitions I preferred Tim Walker's.
His work was just so much more unnatural and strange and interesting. The colours stand out in his pictures and because his pictures are so odd, it draws peoples attention.

I loved that his pictures were so out of the ordinary.
The next exhibition we saw was street photography. I quite liked how Cartier-Bresson took pictures of things he saw on the street even though they looked so different to normality. Cartier-Bresson, is one of the most famous photographers of the twentieth century, although I've never really seen his work before just like I've never seen or heard of Tim Walker, but they are both really talented and skilled and I am interested in their work.
