Digital Finals

Digital Finals

These photos have all been taken at Canary wharf to resemble Joel Tjintjelaars series "looking up". to make these recreations as similar as possible i enhanced the vignetting and also increased contrast and exposure. All four photos were taken in raw format so that their is a lot more accessible to compile the photos. 


 This photo was taken of a block of flats up near south quay DLR station. what I particularly  like most about this photo is that there is a lot of detail coming from the glass balcony. the reason for this is due to the fact that i shot this photo using a 50mm lens which is able to gather more detail. 

This is one of the more symmetrical photos that I had taken. to take this photo I switched lenses to a 10-18mm so I could capture as much of the building as I can. I also incorporated the rule of thirds ratio so that the top horizontal line was inline with the top of the building. there was minimal lighting for this photo as it was starting to get dark, therefore I had to bump up the ISO to 1600. the downside to this was that there was a great deal of noise. but I was able to reduce it in camera raw.


 This is another one of the symmetrical photos that I was able to get out of my shoot at Canary Wharf. This particular photo is the one that  find the most aesthetically pleasing to look at. the reasoning behind this is that the composition of the photo makes the whole image look perfectly balanced.

Unlike the previous three images this photo takes up the whole frame. The composition itself is symmetrical but its not as pleasing for the eye because there is too much going on. The logic behind this is that because this specific building displays a fair bit of glass. I wanted to use my 50mm to capture the photo. Another difference to the other three photos is that I went a lot closer to the building itself rather than standing across the street. this means I can get a crisp image due to the fact that the aperture was set to F1.8 and then also allowed me to have a smaller ISO resulting in less noise.

Martha Madigan | Camera less Photography

Camera less Photography  Camera less photography is an alternative to using a Dslr camera. Cameraless photographers such as Man Ray  Martha Madigan and Adam Fuss create their photos using enlargers. Man ray was one of the first people to create an image without using a camera. he called these "rayographs", Which then evolved into photograms. To create a photogram you place objects over light sensitive paper and then expose the paper for around 8 seconds. The downside to using photograms is that the photos will always be 2D and will be from a birds eye view. Martha Madigan American photographer Martha Madigan was born in Milwaukee in 1950. she is a very interesting photographer as she creates very surreal photograms with multiple exposures and objects you wouldn't usually use. some of the themes she has done in the past are life and death, nature and culture and the fleeting existence of the body. the reason why i  chose to research this photographer wa...

Joel Tjintelaar | Order

Joel Tjintelaar Joel Tjintelaar is an international award winning black and white photographer. I really like his work because of his architectural images.they are very pleasing to look at due to the symmetry within the photographs. After scrolling through his series called "looking up". i quickly realized that i am able to create very similar photographs. the way in which i will pursue this is by going to a variety of different buildings in and around london, trying to capture the symmetrical look from each structure.  How will i link this to joel Tjintelaars work? The key things i've noticed that i will need to include in the preparation to take my photos is composition. the main ratio used in Tjintelaar's work is the rule of thirds. to make sure that my photos will contain this particular ratio i will use live view on my camera which will  displays the vertical and horizontal lines on the screen. After the shoot, the most cruci...

The basic analysis of images in art and design part 2

Analysing An Image Analysing images can help improve the description of a photograph. The best way to analyse photos is  by using the 5C's. which are Content, Composition, Context, Connection and Comment. this Particular photo shows a very dark and gloomy factory. with bits of rubble on the ground along with weeds and their is also a very overgrown plant centered in the middle of the frame. This photograph gives off a moody atmosphere as the colours are very murky and dark. another reason for the moody atmosphere is because their is no body in the photo all that is shown is a few weeds and some grimy brick walls.  But the photograph is very intricate. Because the photo was taken at around F9, the photo is very clear and you can see the crumbling brick walls that show a lot of detail. The composition of this photo uses the rule of thirds. I can identify this because the focus point is the greenery in the middle and the two vertical lines go down inline with the bric...
