3 Important Points on Photographic Style

Image
pixabay.com/ireland-national-park-connemara-1971997/ The three most important points I feel is important to photographic style is: 1) Create your own style- Being Consistent throughout your images to have them all similar style.  2) Colour- I think colour is very important for the photographer to have a colour palate and use it throughout their images, and to use colour grading.  3) Mood- The mood the photographer is trying to portray, I think it is important to keep the mood of all the images similar.

https://www.susiphotographer.com/blog/2020/4/14/elements-of-the-photo-essay-my-grandma For my assignment, I am planning on creating a story of photo’s to show how a grandma sticks to routines in their daily life. How isolated and lonely it can be when your husband has passed away. Using a series of images, I will show a subject in their natural environment and what they get up to day to day, Tea every morning before going to the church everyday. 

Creative Lab Exercises

Exercise 1 Unique photo while standing in the same place. I like this photo because of the contrast between the sky and the land. Exercise 2 Small subject taking abstract images. I like how you can focus on the rock while the background is blurred out, showing a crisp clean photo. Exercise 3  Subject and place where it exists in the corner of the frame. I like how the road leads your eyesight creating distance within the photo. Exercise 4 A scene I am happy with. I like how exposed this photo is, I also like how the crane and light poles create lines. Exercise 5 Manual mode only. I love this photo, I think it's very spooky even though it was taken during day time.  I like how you can see the road with the light from the sun shining so bright.  Exercise 6 Recreate a photo. I recreated a photo with pebbles as if it was close to a beach.

Photo Essay, Inspiration for Assignment

Looking Out from Within, 2020 By Julia Fullerton-Batten Looking Out from Within, 2020 by Julia Fullerton-Batten I am researching photo essays for an upcoming assignment.

I like the cinematic feel with dramatic lighting and unexpected surreal settings it gives me a sense of Hollywood. I like the way you can see the different effects the virus has impacted each person. You can see that the communication in the photos was simultaneously both tension and mystery.

                                        Photo ONE Title: Poison Berry Aperture 1/400, F 4.5, ISO 100. Focal length 29.0 mm. Description & Evaluation I choose this photo because of its shallow depth of field. You can still see the blurry background, but the main focus is on the bunch of berries. The camera technique I used was shallow depth of field, I got close to the subject to create a blurred background. I lowered the shutter speed number so then that’s lowering the focus, thus leaving you with focus on the subject and blurring the background out.  Having a high shutter speed number would not of blurred the background. I took a few images with different shutter speeds but this one worked out best for me.   Photo TWO Title: Moving Car   Aperture 1/4, F 5.0, ISO 400, Focal length 17.0 mm.

Lab 4, Aperture

  F16 , Aperture 0.3, ISO 100, Focal length 29.0mm I focused on the subject and took a series of photos at the following apertures. I learned how the aperture affects the depth of field.  F8, Aperture 1/250, ISO 1600, Focal length 35.0mm Shallow depth of field. having a low shutter number creates  a focused subject, leaving a blurred background.  F5.0 , Aperture 1/15, ISO 100, Focal length 46.0mm Low shutter speed gives an out-of-focus background.  F1/40, Aperture 5.6, ISO 100, Focal length 55.0mm All in-focus photograph. You can see the background is a  little bit focused but not as clearly as the pole.
