Final on the wall

So happy with my final done and dusted and pined onto the wall really liking my layout with the stages of the story i tried to go along the lines of - Stephanie was kind enough and wrote a little story that she thought my photographs tell - I'm still trying to get that story off her.

Heres my final on the wall at MIT creative arts building 
Didn't have a idea of layout but i caroline helped me once we got to the wall and realised how much room we really have and the size of my photographs. Loved the pin idea i think it just goes well with my photographs but honestly I'm so happy with how my photos really tuned out and how well they really do look.

Theses 4 photos are the stages
of my Photographs

What is the history that relates to this project?
War-torn Congo Richard Mosse: Making visible an invisible conflict

Richard Mosse returned 8 times over 4 years. He has an amazing connection and respect of the people and being able to document the different events. He is drawn too the war-torn Congo as he said on the video it is his calling not the correct choice of words. But this explains his passion to be photograph the Eastern Congo. The first impression he would like the viewer to see is the beautiful and full of life country. But on a closer look they see the distraction and devastation of the people in the Congo.  One could defiantly criticise Richard as words cannot explain the horrific things that have being and still are going on.
I don't think at any time does he want to down play the event going on but the need to bring some beauty into the photo's help with the healing he has experienced.
War photographs are cold and express death and distraction. This is so meaningless. A lot of war photos are in black and white. Film was used and often no time to compose the photo just point and shoot. 

Photographic Genres

Photographic Genres
Which genres require more photo retouching?  Creative Genre
Why do you think this is? Retouching of image would be required for Creative Genre to create a near perfect look of the subject. This does not need to be realty. Correcting the colour or defects of the photo taken. Creative Genre also allows for fantasy and creativity bringing new ideas to the image.

Photoshoot Two like and dislike

truly like this photograph because i like
the movement with ashley running
towards me blur movement

love this one with the edit on the photograph
with the red only the colour and black and
white throughout the rest of the photo
love her funning through the forest.

Have alot of photographs like this one
but love this one manly because her hair and hanging
on the tree shows so much scaryness

like this one also with the facial in her
and the edit with the darkness and red

this photograph i love as it sows the end
of all the photographs with her
taking the danger away and off her ending
her gothic life!

This photograph was taken beginning of april
of my friend kaitlyn and this photo reminded
me of Chris sisarich photograph of the bright
sunlight with people walking in the water
my photograph is dull but still a connection
with people walking through the water.

This photograph reminds me when i photographed
my mate at the beach walking through the water  >>>

Visit to Uxbridge Creative Centre Howick

Te Taniwha & The Thread

Joyce Campbell - I really liked the ghostly feel - with strange flares through it and Vignette edges from the camera lens, the fact that her work was based on Maori legends
I liked her images because they are a piece of New Zealand history and its about the Maori Culture. Everything is so much more interesting when you actually focus and learn more and more about the photographer.

Experimentation  -

Only took one photograph before it started raining  but i don't approve of this photograph as it doesn't remind me of Joyce campbell work..
But i will post it so you can see too dark wishing i could experiment more and play around with more settings

Photo from karen :)

Haru Sameshima

Haru Sameshima was born in 1958, Shizuoka City, Japan.  Immigrated to New Zealand 1973.  He was taught photography by his scientist father at early age.  He worked in small Dunedin photographic studio learning the craft before attending Otago Polytechnic Art School in 1980, then completing BFA (1992) and MFA (1995) at Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland.




For photo responses im going to photograph my mums coke collection alot of plastic and glass bottles im going to try photograph in natural light then try dark room.



Experimentation
Because I didn't have the proper gear to take a photo like Haru, I had to use what I had which was my mothers coke collection cups, the inbuilt flash on my camera and our under stairs wall drobe . For my experimentation I wanted to create the reflections and shadows Haru has created in his photographs,  I still feel like my experimentation includes Haru's ideas.
I wanted to get the background black and the objects in full light sadly i dint work tried a few time of getting this but i like how these photos look with shadow.
