Virtual Gallery

virtual gallery was one of the first things I did it turn out ok it was the first time I have done a actual virtual gallery I recon if I had more photos then the gallery wouldn’t look so empty. however the gallery has a sort of simplistic look and some may enjoy the simplistic theme. how made the victual gallery I went onto a website called artsteps and used one of the present galleries and downloaded my photos into it and set them up then I took screenshots and that’s it.

Final Images

I believe my final photo turned out alright I wish I put some more in the print folder however I didn’t really like any other photos these photo where not my best work I recon I could have done better on the editing and had more locations and gotten more people to model I also wish I got a a group photo with my friends and there bikers however maybe I can do that next time or later in the year.

Final Photo Analysis

with this photo me and my friends went on our bike down to to st ouen’s beach then he went into different poses and positions this photo I like because its simple but a the reason I took this photo is masculinity and motorbikes are predominantly men, when taking the photo I took later in the day to get a dramatic effect and to get a good gradient through the image I choose the beach because its out of the ordinary to see a sport bike on the beach, the textures in the image you have the sand with footprints in them the concrete slipway turning into cobbled stone and then you have the see in the distant background. I took the photo on a wide lens to get a big scene and I think the photo did what it suppose to do

this photo I took earlier in the year around the school the model in the photo is sitting on some lockers I told the model to put his hand in front of his face and look down I turned the expose down for light not to mess up the light. I think I turned out good when you look at the photo you would the person in it is sad or depressed or you feel nothing no matter what the photo I believe is good

photo was taken in the studio with this image I tried to make the model look stoic and masculine and it worked the model is in a masculine pose and since predominantly most moto bike riders are male that’s why he’s holding a helmet. The lighting for this photo was a bit of experimenting around with the lights, the lights get a perfect shadow around the models jawline which is considered masculine, I believe I took this photo on a portrait lens however I don’t know for sure. I also got a bit of the models tattoo in the photo that could be related to bravery another masculine trait which was the hole idea of this photo.

this photo is a self portrait taken in the studio my friend took the multiple photos this one out of all of them was my favourite when talking this photo the photoshoot was originally meant for my friend however we decided I should have go and that’s why I am wearing his jacket and my helmet and I think it turned out alright even though it wasn’t planned. I didn’t take this photo my friend did I told him to take a lot of photo and he told me too look all round the room then I picked from the best there not to man texture in this photo just my cloths and the shininess of the helmet.

with this photo me and my friends went on our bike down to to st ouen’s beach then he went into different poses and positions this photo I like because its my kneeling in front of his bike, there also at equal heights so there’s nice levelling in the photo. The photo has a almost like tunnel effect where the rider and bike are the walls and the beach drags the photo out the texture of this photo of footprint in the sand and the bike and the riders cloths. I took this photo later in the day to get a dramatic effect with the clouds and its works with the black and white editing

Artist Mood board

Rineke Dijkstra

Rineke Dijkstra was born June 2, 1959, in the Netherlands the photo above this is from her bull fighters photos this is a photo of one after a fight and its seen as very masculine sport the photo is very simple however it tells us a lot about the man in the photos character for instance he has blood on him and he’s got a slight smile on his face so you can tell the man enjoys the sport this photo is very good at showing who bullfighters are.
Jeff wall

Danny Lyons (bike riders)

Conclusion

In conclusion I believe my photos could have been better and I definitely could have done more but besides that they turned out good but not the best however the virtual gallery turned out ok as I have said before if I had more photo in there it wouldn’t look so empty but it still turned out ok, the artist montages turned out good and I tried to follow Danny Lyons sort of theme however the photos have a different feel to them considering they weren’t taken on black and white camera and the bike in the photo is modern and the ones in Danny Lyons are considered old to us. however the photo are good editing I could have done better however I have 2 photographer that I like Jeff Wall and Danny Lyons.
