Within this photo shoot I will be focusing on the effect of layering in an image when taking photographs. I will also explore the use of colors to create a more dramatic effect to these pictures and really pull the photo together as a whole.

One of the photographers that I have been inspired within this shoot are called Tamara Lorenz. German artist Tamara Lorenz creates various constructions which she then photographs to exploit their abstract properties. The addition of strong planes of color provide another source of contrast in addition to those of line, shape, tone and texture.

Rather than photographs of things, each image seems to create its own reality. Consequently, the viewer is unable to recognize a conventional subject and is occupied with the business of looking. As seen below:

I wanted to incorporate this effect into many of my photos taken, and do decided to do this through corners of color paintings and instruments to mimic this style.
I used this mind map as my basis for the shoot, where I would occasionally use this to find what I needed to focus on most importantly. From this these were my results in the shoot:
 From here I decided it would be best to cut the shoot down into ten images, through this it would make it easier for me to identify the photo I think is best in the shoot. These are my top ten images of the shoot:

From these images taken from corners of paper, I wanted to cut it down once again, to my top five images to single out the best one. These were the photos I selected:

I chose these images because of their composition, color balance and patterns. I thought that these images stood out against the rest and so finally decided to edit these down to my top image of the shoot. This was the image I chose:
I chose this image as my final photo, as I thought it best matched with the style of photography I wanted. Which incorporated an element of graphic design into the imagery, making it simple but visually pleasing to the eye.
