AS Graphics Magazine

We were given a brief to create a cover for a magazine, and these are a couple of pages where I had some photographs and then goes on to my final piece for it after trying various compositions with the photograph and text.

Light Photography

These photographs are from my A2 exam piece for photography, I chose the question Pattern and Abstract, and decided to go in the direction of light patterns. I really enjoy light photography, as to begin with I used people within my photography to create patterns around them and then went more into patterns in the dark with no people as focal points but began to try and create focal points with the lights themselves.

Location Park A2

These are a few photographs I took when I was in the park one afternoon, I edited them slightly on Photoshop to bring the colour out of them more, and I really enjoyed the macro photographs I did, to find smaller details in the park which are full of colour, pattern and shape.

Location Manchester A2

These photographs are continuing on the theme of  Location, so I went into Manchester Centre, to take photographs of various places within the city, paying attention to colours for focal points within the photographs.

A2 Location Manchester

These photographs are based on photographer Shirley Baker, from her 1960's Salford street photography. I enjoyed this work, as it was captured photography, rather than positioning your focal points.

Park Location Photography

These are a number of photographs I took between Winter and Spring for my photography work, within Cheetham Park, Stamford Park, and the Country Park all of which are local to me. Within the photographs I varied my angles around certain objects/focal points to get direction of light and different composition.

Arnulf Rainer

These pages are the planning, contact sheet and final outcome of my set of photographs after researching into Arnulf Rainer. I really enjoyed his work, as they were fun to produce and different than the other studio sets I had previously taken.

Karl Blossfeldt

These are the few pages I did after my research into photographer Karl Blossfeldt, I took my photographs, then on the contact sheet I choose the photographs to edit then drew on how I planned to edit them. The next page shows screen prints on how I edited the photographs, and the final page shows the original and the final photographs.

Altered Imagery - Manual Manipulation

These 3 pages are from my exam piece in my AS year, where we began to use various methods to manipulate our photographs, by using sellotape, masking tape and tracing paper. I really enjoyed this methods, even if they did take a while to create.

Location Photography

These pages of photographs from my first photography book and linked to Location photography. The first pages are from a visit to Dunham Massey, and the bottom photographs are from the area I live in, where i kept close to the leading lines composition rule.
