light
So far my project has been about the bad is of looking more towards accessing different versions of light and more abstract communicates of nature, I believe this could perhaps be one of the large influences of my book. If I was to start breaking doen my project into four key factors is light even make the capturing of these factors easier to see.
Light is the most important basis of my project as whole. Light has the power to present and change how something or someone looks completely and whole. Because of this trying to photography light is an interesting and also a very applicable way which I could look into capturing my own work. Due large areas of my work begin more prominently focused on the presentation of landscape and flowers and natural beauty, many fo the shoots will be taken during mid day, this is interesting as this is possibly the hardest time in order to couture an achieve the most successful photos. Mid day light can be harsh and increase strong shadows and strong inflictions of heavy light, making anything look worse and showing an inability to really see the piece itself. However I too belive I could use this as an advantage. The over- exposure of light can also be seen as a heavenly and almost romantic way in which you can see something, daylight can elevate an image and bring about an almost type of romanticism. I must be aware o the image I am trying to capture and the effect that I want. However I believe with the availability to change the iso and exposure I should just have a large range of capabilities with what I am able to capture within my work.
This image in particular inspired me as their is a mystery, lack of identity yet still and evident and frankly obvious sense of beauty. Perhaps I too could bring someone when photographing my resivour shoot in order to help show copious amounts of ways I could express beauty within the water, landscape , light and yet almost the person themselves. Another part of light every different some this, is the slo shutter speed high exposure of night time shoots, trying to show a diffuse of movement is hint the light. I believe this shoot is also extremely important because you are theoretically appointing with light itself.
rain
Rain as natural element go is probably the most negative one when comparing it with its connotations and associations of sadness and dull. however this is why I think it would be so beneficial to capture it as an elements of beauty, and perhaps even happiness. Rain as we know already can be seen as a very romantic elements, where people fall in love of where peoples emotions are susceptible to the most vulnerability. Due to rain falling and being seen in so many different forms, the ability for this shoot is so much. I want to show different variations of how one elements can be shown romantically and to be an expression of self beauty and or a reflection. Perhaps I could even add in people to make the photos themselves more poetic as a whole composition itself.
I belive using the way different ways of tracing rain and using a piece of glass as the first shoot, to be able to show the droplets of water. Secondly I believe I am able to capture a more heavenly approach to the done full of water if I were to go out a night whilst it was raining and shine a torch in order to highlight and show a strong bright light, capturing the soft little sports of the other after.
Fire
fire is the subject which is probably the less applicable shoot for my project itself, as it is the most tricky to photograph and also as I do not. know how fire will directly fit into my narrative. My artists ads their own personal emotional influence on what they believe to be beautiful. Fire is a natural element which causes happiness but mostly chaotic fear, however if I were to concentrate more on the contrast between finding life within the chaos and pain of the world and still showing elements such as fire to be beautiful, it would benefit me to do this shoot. Despite water having sad connotations, it does posses the power to kill, unlike, it is not the same as the aggression and mass pain fire can size to cause. Water is meant to be beautiful even when drowning, however, fire is smoke, burning and a strength which I think people find hard to romanticises. The closest aspect tot his element I could fine within my work, is accessing the ability to capture light in such a bright or vicious way.
I do belive it would be interesting to experiment within the way you could show the same element of attitude of fire without the same colour tones, because of this I chose the image above as I believe it has the same movement and hectic feelings and attitudes that could too be seen within the elements of a real fire. I belive it could be the colour connotation are the areas which effect the negative feelings towards the aspect of fire, so changing the colour could make it beautiful without having to be over aware off the aggression of violence ability of the fire itself.
Wind
Wind is a natural element which has the ability to form and create new compositions, it allows something that used, to be still or static with hardly any life of movement to be a free flowing. wind is an element which can be described in many different mannerism ‘ a sea breeze’ a hurricane. These differentiating aspect create the difference between love and fear, which is interesting as this too has connotations between that of beauty and chaos. However I believe you could use the power of wind in order to create a beauty and movement within flowers and natural elements. in relation to god, wind could be perceived as an element of the trinity, due to this much of the experience seen to be a gust of wind in many religions is perceived to be an act of great power.
This shoot is similar to my first shoot, focus on blurring of the elements of the power of wind, and creating a fluidity within a solid structure, perhaps I could add elements from my pre existing shoots to help me discover and develop additionally shoots I could take in order to access a new more religious value to my work.
