Above are some photographs of my surroundings on the day of the first Tom Pope workshop. Our task was to get into groups, and each member would have to write down a task that everyone must perform for a minute.
The images above are the outcomes of a very intriguing experimentation with Tom. We had to throw the oranges in the air to another partner, and take a still-image whilst they were coming towards us. I left it in color when editing because i wanted the orange color to stand out. I had to use a very zoomed out camera lens, so that i could capture the fast moving object. This relates to Tom Pope’s work because he’s always trying to find new ways and perspectives to capture images. This also relates rather well to the theme of
For this outcome, we were told to stand on one leg whilst taking pictures. I really like how the lighting coming from the direct sunlight creates a shadows and contrasts the people’s bodies.
I edited this picture to add a violet tone. This picture was taken whilst performing. We each had to come up with an activity to do for a while, from each member in our group. We were told to hold our camera upside upside down for this one, which gave me these outcome. they turned out to be perfectly aligned, and i didn’t have to rotate them to make the horizon straight. The purple tone and orange highlights make this image look very mysterious and unrealistic, which i like.
Here Tom Pope was demonstrating a third activity to us. The aim was to try and take as many selfies as possibles, but on the other persons camera.
Above, is another one of my outcomes from this day. The camera was being held upside down and at an angle. I spontaneously took this, whilst moving around. I also managed to capture someone else during their performance in background.
