Studio Contrast 2 Work Diary

We were set with the task of capturing contrast within the studio for the second time. In this shoot I wanted to try to represent contrast in various ways that would make the image interesting. I was able to achieve this to an extent and thought about using different body parts, poses and genders in order to represent contrast in diverse ways. I also looked to use different props in an attempt to show contrast in an interesting way that would differentiate from the other image. Within this second shoot, I was able to better utilise the features of the studio to show contrast in more unique ways.

This image uses props in order to show contrast in an interesting way. The prop allows there to be an easily notable difference within the two subjects. I wanted to show contrast in an interesting way by using colour. I used the white background and compared it to the darker colours of the people. Between the people, further contrasts are shown between the bright hair and the dark hat, and even in the dark clothing compared to the lighter colour clothing of the other person.

This image shows contrast in a simple but interesting way. The use of dark colours against the white background cause the image to appear more striking to the audience and it causes a more notable example of contrast as a result. The light in the image is used to enhance the colour of the background while bringing out the darker colours of the person. There are even contrasts that are brought to attention using colour within the person. The red hair appears bright against the dark clothing.

Progression:

If i were to do this again I would still look to find more exa,plea of contrast and I would also like to consider the use of objects. I feel this would offer a good variation in my work and would produce interesting examples of contrast within the selection.

Contrast 2 Work Diary

We were set with the task of photographing contrast for the second time. For my second attempt I considered all of the weak points of my original shoot and attempted to correct them within this one. I knew the types of variation that I wanted to achieve in this shoot and I wanted to focus on other elements to show contrast in interesting ways. I wanted to use some formal elements within the environment to show more contrasts. Since it had previously been raining before I went out to shoot, I was able to use the reflections from the pavement to my advantage in using formal elements such as reflection and colour.

This picture shows contrast between water and land or even up and down. The use of the reflection in the puddle allows for the picture to become more interesting and opens up more windows for interpretation. This image shows a good amount of the formal elements. Reflection can be used to create a contrast between the ground and the sky. This contrast is mainly shown through the use of different colours. The sky is shown with a pale, bright blue while the ground consists of dark and gritty colours.

This picture shows a straight forward example of contrast. The bright green colour of the nature in the photo stands out against the dull brick work and draws the audiences attention towards the image. Other formal elements can be seen within the image which create further contrasts. The brickwork features a pattern, consisting of neat lines. The bush features a more chaotic image of different shapes and colour tones.

Progression:

If I were to do this again I would like to look for more examples of contrast. To achieve this I could travel further to find interesting locations and objects that show contrast.
