This is my first edit from the ‘air’ series. This was the picture that I took first. The zoom was larger and as I went on I decreased the zoom. The pictures from this experiment are quite different. We did about three different throws, therefore the results vary. Particularly in this one, the rule of thirds is quite good. The blanket intersects the lower horizontal line of the grid. This adds balance to the image, and directs me to look exactly at the blue blanket. Also the colour is important. The blue shaded windows in the background, balance the foreground to it. It almost reflects the colour.

For my third picture, it shows a further away shot. There is a lot of depth and certainly a lot of distracting features. The angle upsets the symmetry, but this is what causes the composition to be very interesting and amazing.

I’ve edited this image to increase the contrasting colours. There wasn’t much vibrancy, so I also altered it. Moving onto the compositional elements, I think that this photograph has got a great rule of thirds. Since the blanket is intersecting one of the two vertical lines, the images has a sort of balance to it. The leading lines in the background are very distracting. The rectangle and square shapes on the buildings create a very abstract view. I think that the curled up blanket, that’s soaring mid-air adds an interesting component to it. The off-balance distracts me from the solid background and I think that the difference is perfect. Also, the angle at which is the picture was taking is also quite intriguing. I was standing at the bottom of the staircase, whilst pointing my camera lens upward. The way in which it was taken really changes my perspective and even makes the blanket look bigger than it really is. It’s hard to tell if the blanket is closer to the building or to the wall. This picture has great depth. The background, middle ground and foreground are all filled with objects, therefore it has a three dimensional effect. The layers in the scene draws me into the image.

This in all, creates a series, which shows the blanket being thrown. You can see where the blanket starts, higher up in the left hand corer of the staircase and where it ends up. The result of this performance was very effective in my view. At the end, the blanket goes over the top of the wall, which I managed to capture at the last minute.

During our trip to France, we found a lost blue blanket on the ground. As an idea, we brought it around everywhere we went. We would place it on various objects and locations, as we saw them. I think that this documented a performance, as we showed the different settings we reached and incorporated the blanket into the journey. Below, is how it was originally found.

On the next part we travelled down a small alleyway and decided to place it on this doorway. I took this in a front on angle. I think that the blanket disturbs the patterns and symmetry. In result, it creates a very interesting shot.

I really like this image. This is because the rustic effect on the walls adds an antique aesthetic to it. The barrel in the background is also quite vintage. I like the contrast between the olden look and the newer aura transmitted from the blue blanket. It also appears quite unusual as it’s not normal to see a blanket perfectly tucked behind some signs. The depth of field is strong in my opinion. The elongated and narrowed view on the left hand side creates a lot of depth. There are so many leading lines. Most of my attention goes to the left hand side of the picture. I think it’s because of the direction of the vertical lines.

I edited the photograph above. I added a purple hue and decreased the vibrancy. For me, the only colours that are present are purple and the rest is in black and white.

Next, it was placed on a metal shape. The other one is visible on the right side. I like how it adapts to the rounded shape, and needs context to know what shape it actually is.

Then, we came upon this sign. The signs have been completely covered in graffiti and looks vandalised. I think there’s a great contrast between evil and good here. The signs are covered in dirt and are marked, whilst the blanket is clean and pure.

 Lastly, we came across a construction site. The obstruction which was a hole was surrounded by a bright red gate and tape.
