Photographs.





Photograph number one: 
This is a photograph out of a series I captured when I decided to document whippet racing,
These are the jackets that the dogs wear to run the races in.
I really like this image, it has very deep shadows diagonally across this photograph which
I think it makes it look very contrasty and makes it an interesting photograph to look at.
This image I captured in the studio using a box to lay the jackets evenly in and 2 studio floor
lights with honey combs with the light being diagonally across the image helping to produce 
these harsh shadows and the camera directly above the image at a far enough distance away 
to capture the whole photograph.


Photograph Number Two.
This photograph is another one out of the series I produced when documenting whippet racing,
i captured this image in the studio using just one honey comb lighting from the top left corner of the rosette.
This is a photograph of a rosette and a winners jacket which is received by dogs which win the main races within an event. The composition within this photograph is very central and its very ascetically pleasing the constrasts from the jacket are dark to the rosette being very bright I think this is very strong but really tells a story about what they are. 



Photograph Number Three.
This photograph is also another one out of the series I photographed in the studio when I was documenting Whippet Racing. This is one of my strongest images out of all the studio shots, I photographed this image on a piece of metal with the light shining from the bottom left hand corner diagonally so the light just hit the outline of the image to define the edges to make it stand out, I like how the light hitting the metal has reflected the light onto the metal and added a lot more effect within this photograph. This is a muzzle which a dog would wear whilst raining.  



Photograph Number four.
This photograph is another one like the one above it, I think this isn't as good as the one above it isn't as ascetically pleasing as the one above. but I used the same set up as the one above but from a slightly different angle which i think works well but not as good as out come as the first one. you can see the glow around the buckle on the muzzle which makes it stand out very clearly and you can see the detail within this photograph.



Photograph Number five. 
This photograph is a photograph of one of my dogs in the studio this is very clear clean image it is exactly what you see its very subtle, and very eye catching as its very plain and not to busy, the contrast between the background and the browns is very defined which help to make the dog stand out from the background. 



Photograph Number six.
This photograph is one that I captured of a dog in motion I researched a photographer named Edward Muybridge and he did photographs showing motion so I decided to use long exposures track side to capture the dogs in motion. This is just one of three of my finals I produced. 



This set of photographs are a series where i documented Mental health, ''Hoarding''


Photograph Number seven
This photograph is of my model in a bath full of feathers, giving the meaning of hoarding feathers I decided to sit my model in a bath of feathers to show the hoarding side of the photographs.
This is a photograph which I was experimenting with using colour I don't think it gives the photograph its full potential and meaning within the subject so I decided to use black and white for the other photographs I captured.

Photograph Number eight.
This photograph is another image of my model hoarding feathers in the back where she has got her hands full of them looking directly into the camera with an expressionless face.
I like the use of black and white within this photograph and the vignette around the edges on the image. 

Photograph Number Nine.

This photograph is another one of the series, This is a very meaningful photograph
as you can see the happiness this model gets from looking at the feathers they have collected and kept safe for so long. 
The black and white tones within this image is very soft and gentle to the photograph.


Photograph Number Ten.
This photograph is very harshly edited I'm not sure it really works within this subject but i experimented but don't think I got the outcome I wanted, maybe next time I photograph and edit an image like this I will use softer tones within the photograph. 

 Photograph Number eleven. 
This photograph i captured from straight above the subject capturing the whole of the bath, I used a light off a phone which pointed towards the model, I edited this using black and white and vignette around the outside which I chose to use a dark one to make the model stand out. 


Photograph Number Twelve.
This is a photograph of a sink with tooth picks in, the subject is hoarding tooth picks, I used the blue contrast over this photograph as I think it helps give a negative dull feeling about this photograph, its very cold and defining colour to use in a subject so strong.

Photograph Number Thirteen.
This photograph is one I captured in Italy in Piza ''Leaning tower of Piza.''
I really like the use of the sepia tones within this image as it gives a feeling of an old photograph, I really like the fact of the people in the bottom of the image as it makes this photograph more of a documentary piece of work.


Photograph Number Fourteen.
This is another photograph I captured whilst in Italy this is a landscape image I captured in Florence. I used tilt shift on this photograph to define the depth of field within this photograph. The black and white within this photograph is very subtle and soft tones.


Photograph Number Fifteen 
This photograph is one that I captured at Whilshire train station I used depth of field within this photograph and a slight bit of shallow depth of field also to capture this photograph I think the blur of the train tracks in the back ground really help the texture of the stone stand out really extensively.



Photograph Number Sixteen
This is a Landscape photographed I captured at Ribchester i really like how its took from a height and also captures the trees arching over the river. The Stones in the water are highlighted which gives this photograph texture within this photograph. 




Photograph Number Seventeen.
I photographed this image at Wilpshire train station where there was a little gap in a wall I really thought this was an exciting image as the steps in the background are really light but not too light and also how much texture there is within this image as there is rubbish on the grass verge were I made sure to capture that bit  as the most important to make this photograph stand out. 

Photograph Number Eighteen. 
This photograph is of a piece of apple on a birds table This image is very interesting with the depth of field on the green bushes behind which helps distract the harsh green colours and directs your eyes to detail within the apple and the bird seeds I think this is a really strong image.
 Photograph Number Nineteen. 
This photograph is all about composition as its very central and very basic but gives a really good composition and meaning. this is very ascetically pleasing because of all the different tones of greens within one image.  
 Photograph Number Twenty.
This photograph caught my eye because of the different contrasts within the wood which looked really pleasing using a soft tone of black and white. 

Photograph Number Twenty One.
This photograph I captured at Dolphin Home it was a wooden Door leading too a barn. I think the contrast within the door its very dark and grainy making a rough texture within this photograph.



 Photograph Number twenty Two. 
This photograph is of a blossom tree looking up the tree with a little bit of depth of field at the bottom, I like how its very contrasty and and the blossoms almost blend in but the contrast of the dark branches bring the photograph to life. 

Photograph Number Twenty Three.  
This photograph is of a Classic Mini I used Sepia Tones as I think it brings the image to life and makes it look old like the car itself it does it justice within the photograph.
the contrast in this photograph are very good.

Photograph Number Twenty Four
This image is a piece of film that I developed but burnt the film but I experimented by scanning the film into the computer and making this a digital image of burnt film I turned the contrast up slightly too. I like the fact you can just see a slight bit of the models face.


Photograph Number Twenty Five.
This Photograph is of my niece who i captured as a not a staged image she was just stood talking as I thought it would give a natural effect to the photograph which I think it did.
the use of black and white with this photograph really makes it stand out and look delicate which i think for a small child really makes the face stand out. also the composition within this photograph is very central that makes the photograph very ascetically pleasing.

Hoarding Feathers Shoot.

Feather Hoarding Shoot.

Photograph Number One.
I Photographed this image from above my subject in the bath to capture the whole image in. i used the torch on a phone to form the light to just gently hightlight the feathers making them highlighted from the subject which i thought really worked.
I used black and white within this photograph as it really helps make the image stand out and make the image have more meaning than just a photograph. I also used vignette a very harsh deep one to show there is a sadden subject behind this photograph. 



Photograph Number Two.
This photograph shows the subject looking at the mounds of feathers which they are holding and the expression shown on the face is a hoarding and wanting to keep them for ever without separations.
I used medium tone of black and white which If I had to change I would use a softer tone of black and white.

Photograph Number Three.
This photograph shows the subject happy to be looking at the hoarding of feathers ''large amount''
these photograph have great storeys behind them and not just a photograph.
The use of the soft tonal of black and white really contrast the photograph.

Photograph Number Four 
This photograph shows the subject looking directly at the camera I like the composition within this photograph there being alot more free space at the front on the image than there is at the back of the model.
This photograph is slightly to contrast if I had to re-shoot this photograph I would use less contrast within the this photo 

Photograph Number Five.
This photograph is the same photograph as the one before just an original coloured one which I didn't think really worked with such a saddened subject it looked better and a much stronger image in black and white.
