Shutter Speed photoshoot
John Baldessari
The following photos were inspired by the work of John Baldessari who was a talented photographer who made unique and interesting pieces.
He uses a variety of colours to make his pictures eye-catching to the viewer.
Boxing photoshoot
Ball aliment
These images were all taken with a shutter speed of 1250. This means that the pictures are a lot clearer than what they would be if the shutter speed were lower.
The photos were also inspired by the work of John Baldessari who was a talented photographer who made unique and interesting pieces.
Shutter speed photoshoot
What is the Shutter Speed?
The shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time. 1⁄500 of a second will let half as much light in as 1⁄250.
‘Boxing’ Photoshoot:
Ball aliment Photoshoot:
John Baldessari is often referred to as the father of conceptual art. Central to his practice is language, both verbal and pictorial. In his photo-based work of the early 1970s, he embraced chance, accident, and game-playing. He was the inspiration for these photoshoots. I focussed on the shutter speed, changing it while taking pictures to see the results.
‘Probably one of the worst things to happen to photography is that cameras have viewfinders‘
— John Baldessari
