400 Iso Film shot at 800

 







This selection of photos is in response to my creative rut I have felt recently. I really love what I have taken in these selects and think pursuing more of a street approach to photography will fulfill me far more than what I have been doing as of late. There is something magical about just going out and shooting and letting the world find you then rather trying to manufacture it. I shot two rolls of film on the weekend shot on HP5 pushed to one stop over in development. Some of the shots worked out really well and some not so great. I think slightly more development time would have helped as I feel their is a loss in detail in a lot of the shots. The water in the development lab was running very cold and I don't think I compensated for that as well as I could have. I also think my metering whilst on the street is still very poor. I want to learn to shoot street without a grey card which is what I do as it is so annoying to pull one out every time. Better judgement of what I am trying to meter I think is an important part of my work going forward.

Final Project

Final Project Reflection  My final project was aimed to analyze the similarities and differences between my Father and I's mental health. I wanted to represent this project in an obtainable way to an gallery audience that would enable the content to relatable and fairly easy to interpret but also to be personal enough for me that it has deeper meaning. The style of photos I chose and created relied on heavy contrast which was achieved by using the red filters to get the perfect amount of black but maintain the highlights. In class we spoke about how happy accidents are real part of this project specifically looking at  how the photos of me have a lot more white and the photos of my dad are have a lot more black. I find this unique and could portray a deeper meaning not obtainable by the audience member but open to interpretation.  For this project I did a lot of testing in the dark room and fell in love with the enlargement process. This is the first time I have actually ...

A - Z assignment

For this assignment I wanted to limit myself to taking photos of things that had to do with cars only. That being license plates parking signs, and car models.  I cropped everything in vertical fashion and stiches them together into this even square structure that I find compelling. It is meant to invite the user in nice and close to figure out what is even going on. I love it.

Pinhole Photography Project

  Pinhole Photography Assignment Reflection Overall I enjoyed the assignment and felt that I learned a handful about the photographic process and gained a new appreciation for photography. My mind was blown by how simple yet complex a pinhole can be and that essentially anything can be a pinhole camera. The photos you get when using a pinhole camera have such a unique look, and I think that's what I like most about pinhole. The grunginess of the photos really leans itself to my style of photography; people often will use photoshop to get this look, but though trial and error, pinhole just does it for you. In conclusion, I would happily do pinhole again and think I could vastly improve upon my previous designs and photos with the knowledge I gained during this assignment.  "Where my eyes cannot go"  For this photo, I was inspired to try and replicate what it might look like if you could see through the world and everyone walked on glass. I had my subject on a ledge with on...
