Final Presentation

For my final piece i decided to add onto my assignment #6 response to the novel "the Host" by Staphanie Meyer. I added several extra photographs to elongate the image further, keeping with the long thin format and garishly toned images. I chose to present my photographs this way because the layout reminded me of a barcode, so it's kind of like a human barcode. Also the bright colours draw the viewers attention, and these colours, along with the warped scale of each photo add a surreal effect to the images. To present it, i chose to print this image quite big, to add to the eye-catching effect. I also decided that framing my print would take away from it so instead i had it mounted on foamcore, without any sort of border to make it pop abit more.

"Killers in the Night"

Stephen Best

So after attempting to find Stephen Best's house alone, Chelsey and i got lost (turns out we were only about 50 metres away from it). Anyway, it turned out ok because we got to go back with him later, so we could have abit of a chat with him as well as just looking at his work. He fried my brain a little with the technical side of things, but that doesn't really matter once you've seen the prints he's done!! They were pretty amazing, and just the range of things he's capable of is pretty damn impressive!
Thanks Steve!!

I have to say, this field trip was waaaaay better than the civic one, everybody was so friendly!!

Location Folio Proposal

After much umming and aahing and deliberating i think i've decided to shoot Clonakilla Winery for my location folio. My plan is to document the winemaking process (and believe me there's a LOT to it)! Hopefully this will include at least most of the following areas: harvest, pruning, planting, deshooting, mowing, spraying, bottling, aerating etc etc as well as the funner stuff like tasting and work at the cellar door! i've worked with them there before, so im sure its gonna be alot of fun!

Phot Prac Workshop - Flash Tips

So these photos were stolen from Chels since we worked together! below is the flash used to fill in woth exposure compensation:



And this is the technique Belinda showed us to get some interesting effects, i think someone referred to it as "throwing" the flash:
