Precedent One.

A video that we watched in our tutorial created a new idea for this project. I enjoyed the effects that this activity portrays on each photograph. Instead of waiting for it to rain and capturing light through a waterdrop it is a way to capture a locations light in a different angle.

I think this idea for the project is the one that i hope to develop further. I know it is completely opposite to my initial idea. However i tried to develop this idea further, yet failed as it became quite a mundane idea to inforce upon a single item. Plus i have previously completed a project similar. So time for a challenge!

Research Research Research.

Looking Back.

In my first year of design. I designed an object that i absolutely hated. However when it came down to photographing it, it completely changed the composition and characteristics about the object. It was a fragile plastic form that i had no real relevance to anything. However when photographed it changed into an elegant almost architectural form. This is my inspiration. I hope to find object that have nothing special about it. however with the use of light and composition i hope to change the objects form to something amazing.

Researching.

First shoot.

Objects from my tool box. Captured in a way that hopefully isn't recognisable. The ink pottle was the hardest as it didn't have many aspects to it that i could change or capture differently. Being a circular object creates it to be quite simple and restricting when it comes to its photography.

The Wire cutters were my favorite, because of the bulky and symmetrical presence there were a few different ways of capturing them in an obscure manor. Also playing with the shadow would be another thing that could enhance the confusion when looking at an object. It could create another line to draw the eye to and leave the brain guessing of what the form actually is. More light is necessary for the next shoot. Even other sorts of lights, colours, textures can enhance the objects ability to transform to something different.

Honestly this shoot was done quite quickly and not to my full potential but it got the ball rolling on my idea and now it leaves room for development and critique, to improve my rough idea further.

Weekly tasks.- Light painting.

For this weeks task i worked together with Daisy Cox, A girl from my class in order to gain the best outcome for this task. we both came up with the idea and was a lot easier to capture our idea with two people. She was able to direct me while I drew the image. Her are some of our attempts. It was great fun and we even did a few just for fun!

Proposal

Light project. Initial idea is to capture an object in an unrecognisable way. With the help of light directed the attention and using an up-close aspect to the object can create and architectural aspect. Hopefully i am able to create a small nano object into a larger structure, that will leave the viewer guessing what it is.

Instead of finding a range of random objects that I think will photograph well. Instead i was considering to choose a specific location, such as my desk, kitchen items, or things you'd find in your car. Then capture a range of photographs that are just of the object just seen in a different way to create the everyday mundane object into an object that has structure, architecture and a surprising characteristic about it.

I hope to develop this idea further through the shoots that I take within the next few weeks. This is just a basic proposal that has alot of room for development. I'm just not sure which way that idea will develop into.
