Externally Set Assignment
i done this in photography doing paper as my topic i chose it because it was going to be interesting to look at different artist like Aaron Siskind and Abigail Reynolds that inspires me to be a good photographer.
My Chosen Theme Is "Paper"
I chose the theme Paper because I think it is interesting and I could play with possibilities. For example, like photographing Origamis. I think I can use my imagination and make a lot of connections with this theme. I think it is challenging because we see paper everyday in our lives, and I could try to photograph paper in different angles to create composition . I have experimented with paper in previous photographic projects so I think it is a theme I feel confident to develop my future assignment. Every day, we use paper for a lot of different activities like writing, wrapping, turning the page of a book, posters, wallpapers, newspaper, etc. different types of paper have different texture as well different colours so i could use this to work with contrast.
Artist Research
Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed is an English photographer. He photographs paper in black and white to make shapes that are abstract. You cannot tell what they are. He creates circles, triangles, squares, oval shapes using different shades and light. You can see the texture of the paper. The lines are very sharp, minimal and fluid.
Aaron Siskind
what i did for Aaron Siskind he used paper on the wall Ripped paper and lay them out to look abstract and and the framing is really strong contrast and fluid.
Aaron Siskind is an American photographer who died in 1991. He takes photographs in black and white. He was a documentary photographer. He photographs walls. For example, paper peeling off. The texture looks gritty. The composition of the photographs is abstract. They look like maps, country flags, puzzles, or paintings. He photographs surfaces. The lines in the photograph are expressive and it really toned like black an white there are shadows.and the paper on the wall is layered and the piece.
Ion Zupcu
Ion Zupcu photographs in colour and the framing of the colour rainbow and its multiple colours is pink blue orange red all in the shadow and they used a camera to zooming the circle cutler paper and put the camera inside it to make it expressive and fluid.
Abigail Reynolds
Abigail Reynolds is an artist who goes around using news papers cut it inside the paper and like towns and churches and Library and going to castles and, boats
My Initial ideas
After doing a mind map and an artist research, I decided to experiment with the themes rubbish, cardboard, recycle and newspaper
First Photoshoot
In this photoshoot, I used a light box to photograph paper using the light to compose the space inside the frame. I tried different angles, focusing on different parts. I used light and shadows to create contrast of tone. The shapes were irregular and geometric, and reminded me of paper sculptures. In some of the photographs, the eye is drawn to the light source because the light source is highlighted. The photographs reminded me of the work of Jerry Reed. I will develop this idea in my next photoshoot by incorporating different colours, similarly to the photographs of Ion Zupcu.
Second Photoshoot
In this photoshoot, I experimented with paper rubbish. I used paper cardboard, black sugar paper and paper objects. I photographed against a white and a green background. I introduced colour, inspired by the work of Ion Zupcu. I decided to use green because the grass where I took the rubbish from was green. I thought this was a good connection. This time, I tried to keep the paper in the middle of the frame. I had to fold the paper and create small paper sculptures to be able to photograph it.
Refined the Images on Photoshop
In my second photoshoot i took close up photograph of paper Rubbish with different backgrounds. i tried white background first and then green. i used green to symbolise the grass where we took the rubbish.
Origami
In the this photograph i used newspapers to create designs using origami to make different exposures to find my Techniques to be able to Symbolise my work like Jerry reed. i chose him because he uses things like newspaper and his work inspires me to get me far in life. So i created designs using newspaper , i found it interesting using origami as I can use these designs in a final piece for my r photo shoot.
Ion Zupcu
I was inspired by n this photographs I used newspaper to make origami and i used different type of framing to make it more unrealistic and i used a camera to zooming in method so it can make more insecure about the picture and i used abstract in this picture to make more stylish then ever then after i am going to put it on photoshop make different experience about my work and change the contrast on photoshop and used it to make more abstract about it. so the component i did was i used newspaper and take pictures in different section too see different ways to see how it looks from different angles and texture of different culture so i need to work more of my pictures to see the way to experience my tone so i need to make more abstract by zooming method so i know my way how to use it in different force all i need to do it take 20 pictures of different origamis so i can learn my mistake i need to focus more of pictures when i take a picture of my camera to make it more light out of my pictures i will try my best to use more newspaper.
