Crystal ball pics are interesting however, could you invest in a plinth for your crystal ball (click here) so that we don't see your hand. Experiment with:
Crystal ball pics are interesting however, could you invest in a plinth for your crystal ball (click here) so that we don't see your hand. Experiment with:
- Turning the image upside down so that the reflection is the right way up.
- Editing out the hand
- Putting one reflection into the landscape of another
- Taking images in the crystal ball at night

Don't forget to do this for the shoot from the hip strand: Mark Cohen https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/photography-blog/2013/oct/22/mark-cohen-photographer-exhibition-paris

Look at work for reflections in London: William Eckersley. Use a tripod to have a long exposure and create the effect on the water. Play with our perceptions of what is up and down. Turn the image upside down.

Photograph Thames at night - show the buildings aswell
Photograph natural reflections of Tottenham estuary

Mock exam piece: A couple of edits of crowded London
Must go to the Gursky exhibition.
Needs more photos and explore other edits and compositions. More annotation.
Thomas Danthony response should go earlier in the project.

Explain the point behind your work. Why are you stacking images. Look at the work of the vorticists, Percy Wyndham Lewis in particular. This image represents the growth in the city and the disappearance of the sky. It is claustrophobic. Click this link: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/v/vorticism Consider the colours you use. At the moment they are all a little separate. Look at this: http://www.kristasvalbonas.com/migrants-2/ Your collage doesn't have to remain rectangular. |

- Use your 'worm eye view' photographs to respond to Giacomo Costa- Do you know how to do this.
- Another set looking up at buildings but this time have the ground / road.
- The bottom of the buildings. It might be interesting to explore movement at the base of a building and still ness oat the top. This could be done in two ways:
- One image made form two parts- still image of the top of the building photojoined with a long exposure at the base of the building.
- Cinemagraph- you are an expert.

Create contact sheets and edits
Think about three possible directions to take the work look at the work of the following photographers.
1) Espen Dietrichson
2) Marcus Lyon brics the created city
3)Thomas Danthony the simplified structure of a city and its buildings

Lack of annotation makes it difficult to follow the development of your ideas, paired with the lack of set brief your project is drifting. What is your brief? Is your project issues led (globalisation, population increase?) or is it about presenting the enormity of the city?

Building on Marcus Lyon you could look at:

We also discussed looking up at buildings rather than being high looking down. Do you remember that image by Danny Lyon in the C/O gallery in Berlin?

- Use Caulfield etc to punctuate the development of your most recent sets. Eg. Patrick Caulfield- attempt to create a similar flat colour piece with one part kept realistic. Do the same with the other two artists. D'arcagenlo- too abstract.
- Is Fong Qui Wei relevant in terms of bands of colour?
- How are you choosing colours? Colour theory- complementary pairs, harmonious colours, dark and cool colours recede and warm and light colours advance.
- Is it important that it's Oxford Street? Material goods create false ideals. Selling an ideal- you don't look at the buiildings, only the brands.

Consider the idea of capturing internal structure in the style of Arthur Lugauskas visit different locations that have interesting internal structures
1) Tate modern
2) St Pancras
3) British museum
As well as this take a series of photographs that could potentially be used as a series such as bridges up in town try and take images in the same style so they can be placed alongside each other in the simplified style.

3D shapes- simplified ph- take elements from photographs- simplify into flat colour.

Patrick Caulfield- Keep some elements realistic and / or make the shadows and highlights into the colour shapes

3 Strands:
- Continue with Brutalist buildings.
- Symmetry in the urban environment real or digital.
- Average blur shapes within architecture to create more abstract compositions.

New locations are needed you need to have locations that have more of an impact the locations you shoot could be linked if you photograph them at the same levels within the frame. Interesting locations and crops ie think about your framing and how you are placing the architecture in the frame. Also make the figure more prominent and present yu cant really see the silhouette appearing it needs to have more of an impact. could have the figure appearing and disappearing.
1) Barbican
2) southbank
3) Trafalgar square
consider other locations that the figure can be walking in and out of.

Film the Thames / Across the Thames in daylight. This will solve the problems with the noise quality in your images.
Makes sure that all sets are documented thorough;y on your weebly: contact sheets, unedited selects and screen grabs of the process.

Two ways forward
1. Photograph lights over london rather than a smaller object.
2. Film up to 10 seconds (no more) of fairground rides (winter wonderland or south bank outside Tate Modern). We will turn these into cinemagraphs.

Continue with zoom blur at night. Forced flash will only work on objects quite near to you. Try wider shots.
Make sure to use a tripod and consider creating movement zoom blurs consider going in and out of focus in different locations
Impact Zoom Blur from FilmImpact.net on Vimeo.

Dominic Harris- journey from one place or time to another.
Whilst you are zoom blurring, force the flash (select 2nd curtain flash)

The colours and focus are all highly emotive. Your image of the basketball net lacks this. I am not even convinced that it's made up from sections of images from different times. Explore photographing London using a long exposure so the water flattens.
Alternatively look at the collages of Adrian Brannan. He builds up an image from photographs of different times of day but it's less structured.

Complete all the strands and then develop one of the ideas shown
develop the work that is inspired by Fong Qi Wei his work shows a location at different times of the day and then the different parts of the location are put together. Choose a location to photograph that you can create work in capturing it as the day moves into night.
Look at past students work for inspirartion

Also look at the Marcus Lyons project tidelines that shows the shore at different times of the day
