Development of photos - shoot 2










These are some photos from my second shoot out in Worcester city centre. I met a young women called Dilys who kindly agreed to let me photograph her. As you can see it was late at night so available light was minimal and this definitely challenged me technically as i had never photographed in dark before.

How i ended up shooting was with the ISO up to around 5000/6000 and trying to shoot in areas with street lighting which i could take advantage of. My subject was at first shy but after a few sips of her hip flask she relaxed and opened up to the camera. As part of my photographic series 'individuality' i really wanted to capture different people and that means going out at different times of the day and night, as not everyone is about during peak times.

at the shoot i tried to use rich colours to portray my subjects crazy personality but i feel that some of the images didn't turn out the best. i think the difficulty in shooting in the dark hindered me but I'm happy with the fact i went out at this time and had the courage to photograph a stranger. i think these images present a certain vulnerability, honesty and loneliness, whilst at the time boasting a sense of erotica and playfulness.

The photography reader  -  Liz Wells   'the general watches his gardener'  - James Jarche   The writing of this image: •    T he 'look' itself has recently become an object of theoretical attention. To take an example — General Wavell watches his gardener at work, made by James Jarche in 19415; it is easy enough today to read the immediate connotations of paternalistic imperialism inscribed in this 35-year-old picture and anchored by the caption (the general watches his gardener).   •    A first analysis of the object-text would unpack the connotational oppositions constructing the ideological message. For example, primarily and obviously, Western/Eastern , the latter term of this opposition englobing the marks of a radical 'otherness'; or again, the placing of the two men within the implied opposition capital/labour . Nevertheless, even in the presence of such obviousness another obviousness asserts itself — the ve...

Lecture 2

Image
l ast week we talked about how we can define documentary photography and all the different sub categories can fall under the branch of documentary photography. This week  we  looked into the 'roots of modern photography'. We l ooked at the roots of documentary photography so that our understanding of todays practice is rooted in an informed and critical appreciation of the past and how it worked. Through this lecture it helped inform us as we became  visually literate as we understood the language and the origins of documentary photography.  By studying the 'classics' of photography it helped us to understand where we are now in terms of the equipment available and the way the cameras have developed and work. It has also inspired me within my photography to go back to basics and try and shoot on film as i feel it will test my photography skills and improve me as a photographer.  The time period in  which we looked at was from 1930-1950. This time pe...
