Photography Taster - The Studio.

The second part of the photography taster was working within the studio.

Learning how to light the form in different ways to create different atmospheres, styles & backgrounds.

I personally found this area less fun, but highly informative & helpful regarding understanding lighting.

Photography Taster - The Dark Room!

I have been MIA recently due to many a reason, so I apologise for my absence! (to the many people I'm sure missed my presence...)

Part of that is due to me participating in a photography taster week!

I studied photography at A Level & was incredibly passionate about it, but recently I seemed to have lost my connection with it... & also lack in the time.

So I signed up to improve my initial skills & get myself back into it, as well as doing something a little differently creative in a hope to gain some inspiration & motivation.

I adore the dark room & using film cameras, watching your own image appear in front of you is an amazing experience!

The film brief was to look at architecture & textures within Falmouth, which was generally interesting just to explore Falmouth in a different way.

Then the process of developing the film, test strips, contact sheets, choosing images, test strips & a final image occurs.

One of the images I chose was particularly interesting to produce as for some reason the shift of focus (& the depth of field) within the photograph was able to be changed using the enlarger - not something that usually happens - so I was able to play around with this!

These are examples of some of the photographs in Guido Argentini's Silvereye collection that provided inspiration and references for my female characters in the Kley drawing project.
