Photography Studio 1

  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 ...

The Photo Genius That Is Weegee Weegee (Usher Fellig) was born one day before me on June 12, 1899 102 years before me. His work is absolutely incredible and I can't believe how he took so many incredible photos with such unique style that is so dominate in mainstream photography today using photoshop but he did it all with the camera. His experimental distortion photos are some of my favourites I have discovered as they have such a unique beauty to them and I would absolutely love to learn how to do that all in camera or in the darkroom potentially. HIs street work is also facisnating with his approach on capturing events right as they happen by having a police radio in his car for his work .  Here are some of my favourite photos of Weegee's.  All photos and information from:  https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/weegee?all/all/all/all/17  

 Some of my favourite shots all captured on the Fuji Film X-100v by Austin Knibb  Technical Assignment (behind the scenes) My thought process behind my photos in this project were a little bit different then typically what you would expect in a still life. In terms of objects I didn't have a lot of very colourful things/interesting things in my home as lot's of my items are camera gear and tech stuff that is very metal looking. To analyze the way colour modulates images I wanted to go downtown Lethbridge and use the buildings to test how different colours would react in film. Also being downtown gave me a nice grungy style that I appreciate with the dead planters and leaves all over the place.  Shooting the city was really exciting and interesting with film especially on the day we chose as It was very overcast and moody outside. I love how the detail looks in the final developed film, the grain in the buildings and the contrast is so different then digital noise. We went...
