Editing process


This is my first of my six final images for the project, for this photo I spent a while trying to get the perfect lighting to get it showing my subject infection to what he's doing, so as you can see I have played around with the levels just to make it a bit brighter so you can have a more clear view of my subjects face.

This photo you can see I have shot with a flash so you can see the enjoyment my subject is having as this was during one of his recordings so you are able to understand how involved my subject is. I also included the microphone as well as the studio in the background. You can also see I have turned the exposure down because initially this photo was too bright.





This photo was very difficult to shoot as  I was shot from an outside angle and at the time it was dark so I had to adjust the shutter speed to achieve what I hoped would look like my subject being lit up whilst the engineer is in the studio. I have made the photo a bit darker in photoshop so that it is clear my subject is in a spotlight like position. The studio is also in the background as I wanted this perspective to be from the outside looking in.



























I wanted to play around with the saturation in this photo as I felt initially the reds were a bit strong however again this photo was shot with a studio light putting my subject in a spotlight like lighting the one show the features of him and two to also show the seriousness in his face to understand how dedicated he is.










 This is my favourite photo of the six as I feel it really reflects my subjects personality and vibe, he is a chilled laid back sort of guy. The only changes I wanted to make in this one are the levels once again so you can really see the detail on those glasses and so it reveals more of my subjects face.








This is the last of my final photos and with this photo I wasn't sure whether to change the photos colours, as you can see on the left I have changed the colour so a purple tint I wasn't sure whether to keep this as its different to the others but I did like the effect. However this was only an experiment and I don't think I will go through with this, below I have show a contrast between the two.

Abstract

Photography theory Bates speaks about 3 different aspects of photography theory which are: identity, culture and social value he ten furthered this by speaking about 'theory of representation' and how the French philosopher 'Louis Althusser' argues that ideology was primarily communicated through images and some may find this ideology to be true and some may view them as false, but what is clear is that photographs are made up of codes and languages that all peoples differently. Another word for this 'language' is semiotics which is a system of signs that people see in a photo, one of the pioneers of semiotics was Ferdinand de Saussure who argued that language is am 'organised system of signs'. Semiotics is also used to distinguish the photograph from the concept of the photograph, a viewer is needed to give the picture a signified meaning as they will have their own interpretation of the photo (the concept) . This was a photo taken by 'Ri...

portraits / studio work / composition

The way in which I want to shoot my images is in a set of 6 portraits the reason for this is after reading bate's work on portraiture I feel this is the best way to get a full visual representation as bate's describes portraits as being an 'identity' that can be depicted through the photos. As you can I have chosen the artist 'Joel Knight' as research for modern portraiture, shot in a studio as in this weeks session we are experimenting we will be experimenting in the studio working with different lighting and seeing if I wanted to shoot my final images in a studio environment.  This portrait on the left by Joel Knights is a perfect example is what I'am trying to achieve in the studio in todays session as it has nice lighting that highlights the subjects face showing their key features. And after reading David Prakël's reading on 'composition' I learnt that 'composition is the process of identifying and arranging the elements to produce a ...

portraiture

Image
Portraits are said to be made up of 4 different aspects, such as: face, pose, clothing and location. you can use these different aspects to create a photo best suited to the subject. "portrait is a means employed to establish the identity of the sitter" Portraits are thought out to be shot at weddings birthdays and other various ceremonies however Bates argues that they are an 'art of description' which make up peoples social identity examples like passport photos that act as a legal identity. portraits are also a common form of advertisement when it comes to fashion, there are various different things that can be used to make up a trait such as : props, costumes and backgrounds, however it is the social identity that is the performance for the camera. A portrait can be set up to reveal whatever personality you want depending on what the subject is wearing, this is very important to bear in mind as that means the photographer can decide what he ants the viewer ...
