My own work in the style of Ram Martinez

 

To create work inspired by Ram Martinez I wanted to try re-photographing photographs, to do this I printed images stuck them to card and created miniature style studios in which to photograph the images. I started by first creating a self-portrait by using materials and items I found around my room.



 

 

 

I felt this worked well but some of the items weren't of much sentimental meaning to me they were just found items. So I decided to try again and this time actually buy and choose things to create a sort of dark club scene.

 



 

I felt this was a lot more successful than the self-portrait one as it created a story to the image. I think the main thing I have learnt from this task is how important the framing of an image can be in changing or complementing the themes within the image.



My own sports photography- Golf

When shooting golf I wanted to use some of the techiques used by Bob Marting in creating artistic images aswell as still be able to tell a story of whats going on, aswell as capturing emotions using some of the tips I found in the Tom Jenkins article. I think these are some of my most succseful sports photography images and I found the slower pace of this made it much easier to capture good quality images. I have really enjoyed photographing all the sports and action photography that I have over this project, I like the capturing of emotions being able to record actions and also the fact that as unlike studio work you can't ask the people in the image to do the same movement again so its up to you to capture each precise moment perfectly as it may never happen again. It is defienetly something I will consider as a career, furthermore I would love to also be able to do this photography on a bigger scale and photograph much more sports possibly as part of a larger scale project.

Trying to capture some of the interaction between players-

In this image I like that I have captured the ball about to go into the hole and the other two players watching on-

I think this image works well at creating an artistic image-

 

 

Sport Photography- Tom Jenkins

Today I have found this article about creating sports photography written by award winning photographer Tom Jenkins, I found this interesting and very informative and will try to use some of the tips in future sport photography I do

Shots for Make-Up advertisments

Yesterday I shot my make-up advertisements shots in the studio I used two models Bekah Johnson and Laura Martin and used make up artist Emily Walsh and her assistant Katrina, I think the shoot went really well and I have spent a lot of time using Photoshop and a product portrait professional to make the images as perfect as possible.

 

 

My own work inspired by Robert Heinecken

This morning I tried creating some images using the same process as Robert Heinecken by placing pages from a recent Sunday magazine and its magazine supplement on a lightbox and photographing it;

 I liked these images and I think they do relate to Heineckens work but not to the editing mini project brief I planned.
I then tried loading up a picture of my own take for one of my PH2000 assignments and cutting out different headlines from the newspaper to overlay onto the image I therefore used the image on my laptop as the equivalent to a lightbox. I didn't think this was particularly interesting or thought provoking.

 

I then also tried taking the earlier images and layering some of my own images over the top. I think with careful planning images like this could change the meaning of my own images and with more work I could create an interesting series of images like these.

 

Ideas for creating my own make-up adverts.

Tomorrow I plan to shoot images that could be used for make-up advertisments, my main inspirations will be-

 

Aswell as these two t.v Barry M advertisements-

I also drew this to show which models I would be using to create each shot-

 

 

My own sports photography- Rugby





I recently photographed a home rugby league match, in this match I tried to think more about some of the pictures I was taking rather than taking them very quickly. I think that my sports photography pictures could be greatly improved with a much better zoom lens.
