Form, work diary

We were set the task of capturing images of form. As it was a sunny, day it was easy to find to find a range of potential examples of form. i searched for a number of examples, looking in nature, building structure and common items that i could find in the environment. Sometimes it was difficult to fully capture the form of some objects because there would be moments where the sunshine would weaken for a bit but overall the sun stayed out for most of the time that we were out shooting. I was worried about the range of my photos after i had spent a while taking pictures because i had explored most of the areas around me. to reduce the repetition of my photos, i expanded the area that i was originally taking photos in and i started to take photos in the town; as a result i was able to add more photos to my collection.

I chose this image because it represents form through the use of other formal elements. Reflection is used to give another tone to the side of the object, making it seem 3D. The shadow that is cast upon the wall is also an indicator of the size of the object and the positioning of the light source.

i chose this image because it is an example of form that i personally staged. Since the broom has only a thin handle, i thought it would be best to represent form through shadow. You can see the interesting way in which the shadow wraps around some parts of the wall in order to show its positioning and distance.

Progression:

If i could have done anything differently, i would have gone into the town much sooner as there was much more diversity in the types of form that i was able to find around me. This topic has allowed me to think about the object in relation to the background of my images and what effect that they have on each other. I also would like to use my work with form as a way to really think about the use of light within my image and the effect that it has.
