The Sky ~ Shoot 7
Plans for shoot:
my plan for this shoot was to photograph rain clouds during a sunset, through the branches of trees as they show a contrast in how the sky is at different times of the day and during different weather conditions as well as up against the silhouette of tree branches.
Research influence
Masahisa Fukase
Stephen Shore
my influence for this shoot was mostly Masahisa Fukase as the
photo book Solitude of Ravens, Masahisa Fukase produced
evocative images of birds in flight against dramatic skies which is what i tried to photograph as well as Stephen Shore's colour photography of the sky

Contact sheet(s)
All images were taken on a Nikon D3300
Images with a cross through them require improvement.
Image bank (containing 5 images)
My Best images (target 4 - 6),
for these images i aimed to emphasise the branches of the trees in order for them to act as a silhouette against the sky
images that require improvement
 |
| i felt this image was too dark |
 |
| this image didn't have the correct focus point and so focused on the background instead of the foreground |

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.
My idea for this shoot was to photograph rain clouds during a sunset, through the branches of trees as they show a contrast in how the sky is at different times of the day and during different weather conditions as well as up against the silhouette of tree branches.
My idea for recording the sky was to take images similar to my research influences cloud series, and to focus on creating my own interpretations of their work. I was inspired by the work of all my researched artists by their methods of taking photos, and by what they captured within their work but with my own individuality.
With reference to my best images, I feel that although I could not create photographs exactly like my artists photos, I did create a set that was in the style of their work but with my own interpretation of the sky in an during different weather conditions

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
(Here you will discuss how you developed your work based on your research of e.g. artists/photographers, etc).
My edits developed over time in term of my technique of editing as i started to experiment more with my images, my research of my artists helped with this progression, as within their sets of images, no two are the same, so i followed this ideology within my own work by experimenting more with colour.
AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
My final set of images were all produced in different ways and these processes are shown within my AO2 section.

Progression: you must refer to what you will do next to improve on either the shoot you have done or how you will develop your project in the next shoot.
in my next shoot i hope to experiment more when it comes to viewpoints by either using mirrors, puddles or glass.
