LO1: Photographic Elements

Composition

The composition of a photograph is the way in which a photographer arranges things within their shoot to meet their required needs. I have been looking at the still life photography of Vladimir Shipulin, I have noticed the way in which he uses composition during his photography to almost create a visual effect within the photo itself. I believe that in terms of composition he tires to place objects behind or within other objects to create a feeling of

Format

Format is the orientation of a portrait or landscape piece of photography. In terms of the format of photography I have chosen to look at the work of Alyssia Monks, this is due to the race that she tends to use a various amount of different photographic elements in terms of format. In the photograph I have chosen to use you can that Alyssia Monks has chosen to orientate the format features between portrait and landscape

Centre Of Interest

In photography one of the main features a photographer tries to capture is the centre of interest, I am currently looking at the photographic work of Jim Kazanjian. He a photographer who specialises in the art of surreal fantasy landscape photography, looking at my recent photograph of his work you can see that his centre of interest is the house/castle on wheels surrounded by a barren wasteland. the reason he might have done this was to connect to the viewers by having them feel fascinated by just looking at his photograph.

Viewpoint

Viewpoint photography is photography taken from either above or below eye level, this style of photography is commonly used to show an environment or in some circumstances it can show the dominance of a person within a picture by having the camera at an angle.

Framing

Framing photography is the style of photography taken using a frame to capture a point of interest for the photograph. This is also a really easy means of creating a photograph, the main focus when using this style of photography is to focus on the positioning and perspective that the viewer is having of the image.

Rule Of Thirds

Rule of thirds refers to the guidelines which applies to the composition of a picture. This shows the different sections within a picture with the sections that make up the main focal point.

Colour/Monochrome

Monochrome  describes either a painting, drawing or maybe even a photograph. An image that reflects colours in different shades with limited colour, this is usually done by removing the hues within the picture.

LO1: Rules Of Photography Tester Shots

During the tester shots, I got to explore different camera elements and features of photography. Looking at the shots I took you can see that the most common feature I looked into was the method of leading lines, texture shots and establishing shots of the city.

LO1: Draft images from my shoot

Here are the images I managed to capture from todays shoot. These pictures consist of me taking pictures at a high shutter speed to gain a in motion picture, while my actor was in motion.

Evaluation

In this shoot I took a series of photographs of my chosen model doing different poses and in different positions

LO1: Planning my UTC Photo-shoot

Where

•The location I will be having my photo-shoot at is within the UTC premises. The places I have decided to do this shoot at within the building.

When

•I will probably be doing on a Tuesday, this is because my timetable is free during this time and I will be able to concentrate fully on the shoot without having any distractions as the day progresses.

Timings Of Shoot

This shoot should roughly take me around an hour to produce, due to the fact that I want to create a perfect sports photography shoot of my model playing basketball.

Use of space? Complete a recce

How does it fit into the brief?

This fits into the brief due to the fact that my model is showing a part of his identity through playing basketball, I'm going to set it out so you can see a various amount of different facial features to express my models mood so the view gets a sense of what his personality is like while he plays basketball.

Theme?

The of my shoot is the identity of how sport makes an individual feel, this is basically me find out what emotions I can capture during a shoot.

Meanings you wish to communicate?

I will be communicating with my models through text message rather than email, because it's a lot faster.

LO1: Duncan Philpott

Genre

Duncan Philpott is an action photographer who specialises in sport photography. Much of his work consists of in action photographs which contain images of people doing various stunts and tricks. Primarily he focuses on biking as a sport due to the various amounts of photos that can be taken.

The thing that drew Duncan Philpott in the most when it came to doing photography full time was due to the fact that he enjoyed doing it. While Duncan Philpott was pursuing his new career he was granted some new experiences such as traveling around the world to take photographs for different companies. Sometimes the clients allow him to showcase his personality through his photography which he believes brings him closer to his work.

The downside of being an action photographer were quite high in comparison to the benefits. One of the main disadvantages Duncan Philpott had encountered while pursuing photography as a career were things such as being out of work for a long time whilst you wait for jobs to come through, this could be quite a bother for Duncan because he wouldn't be able to enjoy the luxuries of life due to constantly chasing down work.

Purpose/ Photographic rules

The purpose of Duncan Philpotts photography is to capture the in motion stunts preformed by mountain bikers,this givs the viewers more of insight into the talent and beatuy in mountain biking. As you can see below here are a few pictures of Duncans sports photography, I have noticed that he uses a high depth of field in order to give the viewers more of a visual feel to the photograph, making the feel as if they were visually there within that moment of time in the picture.

Also I have noticed that the centre of interest whithin these two photographs are aimed at the athlete himself, this is done in order to instantaniously draw viewers eyes into the this image. Also due to the stunt being preformed within this photograph spectacle is created and within the photograph which leaves the audience wanting more.

Meaning

These photographs give the audience a sense of excitment which leves them wanting to see more. The reason why I think this is due to the fact that when I look at these photographs personally I feel as if I want to know what happens next. This personally is why I am drawn in so much to Duncans style of sports photography.
