My final piece is combination of three images. I changed the overall layout from what I had thought to do originally, I stuck my images onto white foam board and then onto black cards with the two portraits on the outside and the landscape in the middle. I printed the images at size A4, but looking back I would have printed them at A3 so you could see a greater amount of detail, I have placed the images next and on the same level to as because I think that they are all of the same quality and standard and the focus should be split between all three of the images.  I think that the two portrait images have a closer link to each other, this is because they where taken during the same shoot.

Overall I feel that this project has been successful, but  as a whole i think it is not my best work. I think if I was going to go back and do the project again I would ensure to take more photo-shoots, at a range of different locations, focusing a on different colours, as the running theme through the final images is a rage of different blues. I would also ensure the take photos at different times during  the day to see how the light effects the overall look of the colours. But have had liked finding out about a range of different styles in photography and different photographers who look at colour, abstraction and minalsim. William Eggleston for his framing of everyday life photos,  Grant Hamilition for the inspiration for the use of colour, and Hiroshi Sugimoto for his abstraction work. Overall I feel that these images incorporate a wide ranges of styles, abstract,minimalism, and colour photography. My work is clearly taken elements by the three photographers, that i have studied by are not replicas of their work, I feel that i have touched upon each one of the stimulus  words, ‘Conventions’, as it it look at things we see everday in a differen way, breaking away from the norm.’ Secrets’ as unless you stop and  take you time to look for similar images like this you would past by them in everyday life. And finally ‘Codes’ is seen through the repetition of the colour theme through this project.

Overall  I think that both images are very similar in looks and skills. Both of these images where taken using the natural daylight of the sun and during golden hour,which has created an effect that has increased the overall saturation and vibrancy of the colours. The images both have a similar colour palette, blue being the main colour. The two images could be compared to what house and the way that people live like in the US compared to the Uk. Conceptually the Eggleston’s image could be used to represents the ideas that are the main images for Americans, as the TV antenna in the center of the frame, where as my image has a chimney in the center of the frame, which could signify that in the UK people care more about coming around a fire as a family more than watching the Tv where as in the us it could be the other way. The images are also very similar in relation of the colour palette of the images, My image has more earthly tones where as Eggleston’s has more white and brighter colours. But I think that it is quite evident to see the similarities between the pieces and that the techniques that where used by William Eggleston I have been able to transfer over to my work.
