The Sky ~ Shoot 5

Plans for shoot: 

my plan for this shoot was to photograph the effect that a sunset has on clouds and cloud formations in relation to colour

Research influence

my shoot is influenced by many artists as i aim to mix all their styles of photography into mine, this included Stephen Shore,Edward Steichen Brian Eno, and Masahisa Fukas

My Best images (target 4 - 6),

for these images, i wanted to show that even a dark sky can hold beauty, within these images, i wanted to portray the dark colours of the end of a sunset and the reflection of the sun on the clouds.

images that require improvement

i felt this image required improvement as the lamp post is slanted

i felt this image required improvement as the lamp post is also slanted

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

my idea for this shoot was to photograph the effect that a sunset has on clouds and cloud formations in relation to colour. My idea for recording the sky involved taking 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 using more colour and emphasising the darkness within a sunset.

AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and 

camera settings for each image:
due to a camera fault, all images were taken on an iPhone 8

 

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. my research influences also used darkness to their advantage within their images like Masahisa Fukas in their series of birds.

AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements. 

i feel i have created a powerful set of images that share a consistent theme of a sunset landscape.

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.  
i aim to continue to create refined and crisp images more, and to experiment with how i take my images.
