After school I went out with my camera to take some images of different things I found. Since my project is about insignificant things and imperfect beauty I mainly tried to look for the tiny details that we usually ignore. My project is also about growth and decay so I tried to find things to link to this such as the beginning of a growing flower or a decaying leaf. My project is about life in general so I also took images of tiny insects such as ants. However I wanted my images to by visually interesting so I looked for certain angles and frames and different ways I could use the subject such as holding the ant in my hand rather then just capturing it on the floor. I images are taken in my garden, house and also in green Island beach. They were all taken after school. Most of them have a small f stop because I wanted to highlight only the smaller details that I wanted the viewer to take in.

I used Photoshop to edit the images because I wanted to create the same atmosphere as I did for my previous shoots. It was the brightness that I wanted to replicate but I didn’t have to edit the image that much because I used the camera settings to create the aesthetic I wanted. Some images suited a black and white filter better then colour because it revealed the finer detail much more. When editing the images into black and white I used a much larger contrast because this made more of a difference between the dark and light areas which makes the image more visually interesting.
