Evaluation of 1st Set of Developmental Photographs
I feel that my set of photographs really capture the same aspects and possibly even emotions as Hoey’s does. When digitally manipulating my photographs, I paid particular attention to the flow I was creating and the use of colours I had in there too. After completing my photographs, I experimented a bit more with the overall flow and contrast of the colours. This helped me come to the...

Second Set of Photos - Evalutation
I feel that my second set of photographs were successful and linked well with my chosen artist. In order to create my photographs in the same sort of style as Carson’s, I had to use acetate. I printed my selected photographs onto acetate and used a lightbox to give the desired effect. By layering and overlapping these sheets in various different ways, I was able to get a whole different...

Initial Set Development - Evaluation
When developing my first set, I acknowledged that the overall set had quite a calm, peaceful and even almost a relaxing feel to it. I felt that by trying to break those links up slightly I could create a different feel for the audience. The best way I found to do this, was by cutting some of the photographs in half and piecing them together with other pieces that didn’t necessarily look right, or...

SECOND SET DEVELOPMENT - EVALUATION
Within my second set, I feel that I achieved the same effect as Carson did with breaking up the positive and negative space, though at the same time I felt quite restrticted with the possible outcomes I could achieve because I was only using a few acetate sheets. When developing, I realised it would be the perfect opportunity to try and create some new designs because I would be able to combine...

Final Pieces - Evaluation
I feel that all my final outcomes have been very successful. Within both my developmental sets, I tried to focus on adding slight mystery to the photographs and making the audience think a bit more about the photographs presented infront of them. With the seaside images, I stated before that with the developmental set I tried to focus on making the feel of the image a lot less calm/peaceful. I...

Constructed Realities - Project Evaluation
In my opinion the overall project I produced was a success. At first I found it quite hard to find the right artists suitable to the sort of work that I wanted to produce, and I found it quite difficult to actually finalize on what it was I was going to do. My choices in the end were definitely the right ones and enabled to create some very productive outcomes. I feel that the sets that I produced...

Extraordinary Project - Evaluation
I am pleased with the outcome of my set of photos. I feel that I used Bonnell’s style and technique to the best I could and achieved some extraordinary outcomes. The whole of my set consists of objects around my house - mainly Christmas decorations. I felt that these objects had a bit more potential to create my extraordinary set than perhaps other items would such as bulbs, pencils,...

Artist Research - Sian Bonnell
When I was looking through extraordinary styled photography, I was instantly attracted to Sian Bonnell’s work. The majority of her work consists of extremely close-up shots of household and everyday objects, but the way she positions her items, and the surroundings around her focal point leaves us thinking about what the item could be. For example, in some of her photographs, she will use...

Artist research - Thomas Kellner
Untitled photograph - by Thomas Kellner. Genre is artistic as well as being documentive. When looking at this photograph of Stone Henge, I can see the artistic value in it, and I can see the amount of effort put into it. However, even though Kellner wanted to produce something pleasing to the eye, I think this photograph actually has another meaning to it. This photo could symbolise Kellners...
