We were set with the task of photographing contrast in the studio. I went in with a number of ideas that i had in relation to the topic but i became very limited within the studio environment and found it quite difficult to portray it. I was still able to get a reasonable amount of pictures with a good variation in things like gender and height along with getting more experience with the studio. I was able to make the images more visually interesting by including some formal elements such as depth, colour and pattern.
This image shows contrast in an interesting way. The shot is composed in a way where one person fills most of the frame with her face while the other fills the frame with her body and it shows an obvious contrast in distance as a result. This image shows the formal element of depth. This is achieved by having someone in the foreground of the image and someone in the background and comparing his the appearance differs over different distances. The darker tones of the clothing create contrasts between the background, causing the people to stand out within the image.
This image shows a couple examples of contrast. The image features contrast in gender by showing two girls and one boy within the image.Height is shown by having the women standing and the boy sitting, this can also be interpreted as to showing power as a result. There are contrasts of emotion within the image through the expressions on the people's faces. The dark clothing and bright hair colour create contrasts against the light background. This causes the people to stand out within the image.
Progression:
If i were to do this again i would think more about the environment that i will be shooting in when thinking about the photos that i want to take. I would also like to still achieve the good variation in pictures while obtaining a larger amount than i was previously able to achieve. The studio has allowed me to consider different backgrounds and the way that they can be used in order to show contrast in interesting ways.
