i was away last week and had to fnd out what i had missed. turns out i missed the group going out shooting and taking pictures of what they wanted. Then had to come back and develop them as we did the week before. this was just to get extra practise, practise that would of been useful but cant go back now. My first attempts werent that bad anyway but practise would of been useful.
today we started by reseaching not only artists like before, but photography artists.
I researched Francesca Woodman, and misha Gordin. Both of their work was SO weird, i didnt understand any of itthey were both unique and different from anything i ever seen. Francesca Woodman photographed naked women and people, whilst Misha Gordin photographed objects and faces. some are distrbing but they dared to do it. When you look at them you think why? what is the point they are trying to get across. like >> makes me thinks like something cannot be said. something has to be kept inside little secrets. we then looked at a famous photograph by Halson, called Dali Atomicus. When i saw i was was like random much. A random chair in mid-air with flying cats and water droplets, all frozen in a moment. how long it mustve taken to get right, and everything perfect. we then had to try and RECREATE this shot as best we could. with the hanging chair the person jumping and water being thrown. i worked with melissa and jamie and i think we worked quite well. melissa was the person jumping and me and jamie kept sapping from throwing the water to taking the picture, i took the first picture which worked out quite well, except for the fact the water line isnt a line, it looks more like rain. Another picture jamie took worked well as then water is in a line but doesnt reach the other side of the photo and melissa wasnt ready to jump. With photos like this it is all about timing, and you have to get the timing perfect or it wont work. From the picture i had to create mindmap of how the different things can influence my final product, how water can be used as tears or taking a picture of something dropping into water, how you can take a picture of something being suspended of your final product being suspended :) i have leanrt alot today and i am excited to get started x
