A shot took of Emily, by using the flowers I wanted it to cover part of her face yet showing specific features that most stand out like her eyes to make the portrait seem more mysterious.Again using the flowers for this portrait shot but drawing more attention to the eye, i believe the contrast of the red and white flowers together helps bring in focus to her eye and almost frames it in a way however i feel as though it would of suited better if i got more close up and captured just the petals around her eye.We went to an art gallery for this shot and when taking a look around, I noticed the background wall covered in earthly warm spatters of paint, which I feel contrasted well with her skin tone and outfit and gave the protrait shot a artistic atmosphere. Could of been much improved if i got a bit more of her side profile face to make it more of a proper portrait shot.
When doing portrait shots, I wanted to focus upon not completely portraying all of her face but taking pictures of certain features to combine a sense of mystery which should make the viewer look more into the image to try and make out of the shot.
Landscape photography:
A landscape shot that includes leading lines. I feel like the shadow play and gleaming sun helps emphasize all the different subjects within the shot to make it a landscape.In this landscape shot, there is a lot of silhouette effects with the trees, branches and bushes leaving bright green of the grass to reflect at the bottom with casted shadows and a pale blue at the top of the sky. I feel as though the branches frame the landscape shot.Again like the previous image, a lot of silhouette effects are taking place, with the sun making an appearance from the side of the building. I feel like it’s somewhat more of a close landscape as there isn’t much to explore within the image. Again another leading line, but more of a close-up landscape shot of it. The line leads onto the people walking and the vehicles and buildings ahead. It allows a wide eye view of everything surrounding in the image.
Landscape photography is one of the main genres of photography and there are so many different landscape shots you can take, personally i don’t usually take landscape shots but after trying it out better for this part of the project, I find that i am wanting to now take more landscape shots in the future and focus upon it better.
Product photography:
Close up shot of a guitar found in an art gallery, can be seen as product photography due to focusing on what is is and the details that stood out to me most, for example; the strings and the writing beneath it. I am drawn to how abstract it came out as and how its framed with no other space around it except the main guitar itself.
Product photography i’d say isn’t that common of a photography genre, but it’s something i adore doing because i love how you can focus on that one main subject and place whatever else you want in it to make it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, or focus upon the small details that stand out to you first and what you see the project as, like i tried to do with this shot above.
Nature photography:
Nature photography due to the complete focus of the tree with negative space surrounding of the blue marine sky, I find the way that the branches strike out all around the image and leave the main part of the tree as satisfyingly pleasing to the eye and shows how tall and superior the tree is.
Nature photography again like landscape photography is one of the main genres in photography, I find that it’s easier to angle things how you want others to perceive it as with nature photography, especially for flower shots.
Close up form of an Urban landscape:
The reason this image wouldn’t fit into a normal landscape shot, is that its more or so a close up form of an urban landscape, as its focusing on the experimentation of texture due to the brick wall, the blur at the start of the wall leads you in to look at the rest that is sharpened out and really shows the texture of it all then leading to the end of the tunnel showing a blur of two people in bright white light which makes the shot stand out better,
Urban landscape photography, can help you focus on industrial subjects and the manmade objects which is a great way to look at the texture and shapes of it, and is one of the best genres for that along with macro photography.
