How i’m going to present my work
Second Shoot-Street Photography
Here are the original images from the shoot. For the shoot i needed a fast shutter speed because I was moving in a car whilst taking the images of the people walking past. If I had a slow shutter speed then the images would be blurry and I wanted to capture a still image. My ISO was high because I had such a high shutter speed, and therefore not as much light was captured.
I’m really happy with the results of my shoot, however It was hard to get a good image while moving in a car. So, next time I try this shoot, I will walk round town when taking the images.
The point of the shoot was to capture the structure of people’s everyday lives, and to try and capture the persons character and personality within the image. The framing of the image and how it was positioned is important because it effects how appealing the image is. Here are a few simple edits from the shoot. I wanted to vary them so some are in colour and some are in black and white.
The image below is my favorite edit from the shoot because you can see the mans character and the way he is captured shows his personality.

Expanding Ideas // Zoe Leonard
Foundations such as the WWF federation aim to salvage nature and its resources to not only cater for a growing population but also to maintain the beauty of nature.
After opening each image into Adobe Photoshop, I experimented with tweaking the colours slightly to test whether to improve the vibrancy of the image, or enhance the melancholy and sombre mood of the flowers. Eventually, I opted for a black and white approach for this project as I believe to follow the work of both Karl Blossfedlt and Zoe Leonard, sewing black and white images together would comply with their style whilst attaining my own stance upon the two. Personally, the black and white saturation allows the focus of the image to remain on the detail and craftsmanship of the artificial flower and leaves.
Texture on Water Inspired by and In The Style of Adrienne Adams
I felt it important to incorporate Adrienne Adam’s style of texture on water after focusing on the reflections side which required a smoother texture. Now however I am emphasising more motion based textures of the water. This I believe shows the structure of the movement of water rather than water itself, it shows what water does as it is surrounded in its natural environment of wind, objects and depth of water, factors influencing the structure of water. I particularly like how the structure of water changes, adapts and is determined by its natural environment but also the idea of how essential it is in supporting life. The structure of water is in a sense a structure of life and so this fascinates me particularly. Adrienne Adams used gentle texture to show the structure of water as something as subtle and therefore considered as taken for granted as a structure of life. I wanted to emphasise the structure as being a bit more independent and also influential too. I achieved this by ensuring the framing to be centred towards the actual object I want the viewer to focus on most. Whereas before I took the camera and shot the photograph from a distance using the zoom heavily, I wanted to show the textures as sharper and have a stronger depth through aperture and so now shot with a macro setting, far closer up. I think I made the right choice here, as I believe I showed the structure of water as playing a more significant role within its natural environment than Adrienne Adams. I wanted to capture this because water is essentially a vital part of our world and its structure also is one of the structures that ensures life on Earth survives. I am happy with how my shoot went overall because I explored different structures of water and how its influenced and influences other objects through its own structure, particularly clear to us through its range of textures.
