Justin Quinell

Justin Quinell


Justin Quinell is a pinhole based photographer who is known for is odd camera placements.Some of his most famous compositions is where he places the pinhole camera in his mouth. Here is one of his photographs.

This image is very thought provoking as Iv'e never seen a photograph like it. The reason why this photograph works well is due to its super wide focal length. if I were to estimate, I would say its between 8-12 mm. This allows the light sensitive paper inside the box to capture the majority of Justin Quinell's teeth. and also the Dentist in the centre of the photo.

The theme of this photo was well thought of too. the fact that it is in a dental practice is relevant due to the placement of the camera. 


This is another style of photograms that Quinell produces. whats shown in the photo is basically a light trail of the sun passing through the sky. These are more commonly known as solar graphs. To make this a successful photo the paper would need to be exposed for 4-6 weeks.

To try and recreate Quinell's solar graph image i have cut out the top of a can, placed the paper inside so it sits concave within the can. I then poked a whole through the can so its similar to a pinhole. Finally i sealed up the top of the can with felt and card so its light resistant. have hung the can up on the outside of my window and will present the results when done.

Ideas for 3D project (Unit 6)

3D Research At the start of any project, its always a good idea to have a look around and try and find some ideas and techniques to use. because the project is on 3D. i began my search on pintrest and simply typed "3D". there were hundreds of photos, collages and physical pieces to chose from. i started with the most recognised style of 3D. anaglyphic photography. anaglyphic is basically the red and blue lines that appear on the edges of the objects being photographed. This is an example of an anaglyphic photograpgh. the photo shows a model in the right third of the image. the photo is being shot in an architectural area. from looking at many photos. alot of the anaglyphic shots are taken in areas with buildings or structures, this is because of the straight edges which makes the 3D effect stand out.  this is an analogue example for my 3D project. this is called lenticular printing. this technique is all about perspective. as you can see depending on wha...

Frank Machalowski | Chaos

Frank Michalowski Frank Machalowski is a German freelance photographer who I came across whilst searching for photos that show chaos. After further research i came across a series of photos called "monster".  The photos look really moody to me as they are black and white and have high contrast. The photos include the rush of people. which creates a blur. The way he creates these photos is by using a slow shutter speed of 5 seconds to get the blur. To recreate these photos I am going to go to London and shoot long exposures of people walking past. The equipment I will use will be my camera a tripod a shutter release and a ND filter. The photograph on the left is interesting as it is symmetrical and also has leading lines that draw your eyes to the top third of the picture. I like the different shades of black and grey that the rush of people create. This reminds me of a pencil smudge. This is a photo I took in the style of frank Machalowski. The locati...

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...
