Contact sheet from first photo shoot:

Evaluation

For this photo shoot I simply just walked around the school and outside and tried to look out for things to photograph that would be appropriate.  I originally looked closely at how the Boyle Family tried to work and focused on the idea of ‘copying’ them. For my first image I found shadows being produced through a stair case creating an interesting pattern. I cropped the image to strongly focus on the pattern instead of the background, then went to adding a subtle filter and cleaned up the pattern to create a warmer feeling to the image. For the second image I photographed a pothole and added black and white feature enhancing the shadows and specific shades to give a more dramatic appearance. For the last image a well as emphasizing the yellow lines i the first image much like images produced by the Boyle Family, I wanted to add my own twist on the selection of images so filtered the last one in to three different images all consisting of vibrant different colors, highlighting the shades, shapes and outlines being produced.

Idea 1

Journey of an Object

My first idea involves documenting images of old objects and antiques, and then attach the journey of the object to the image. So for example, I have a set of stamps from Spain 1923, I photograph them then overlay them on top of either posters or postcards from the same time frame.

Idea 2

Incorporation

Use the objects from the first shoot and try and incorporate them into a modern setting. For example a 1965 Horse Riding Rosette could be added onto either someones bag or jacket where they have modern badges.

Idea 3

Decay

Completely contrasting to my other ideas, i could show the journey of decay or life through either a molding food over time or a wilting flower.
