Projection


This image again is projection over the over the model (being me).. Projecting an imaging onto the studio back wall to create a location. But to do so you can not use flash or other ambient light to blow out the backdrop image.
This photo shows an American type school hall way, with a male fashion and hairstyle equations added. By the image being projected over the subject, it adds to the subjects clothing.

Thanks Kristina


These 2 images where just some muck around photos that's turned out to be some descent fashion and character images..
Kristina has been a big help in photography.
Thanks for tour modelling Kristina

Adolescent Depression - Art









This art shoot was a commission based job on Adolescent Depression. Shot on a 35mm DSLR, this shoot was a little tricky as the backgrounds are projections on a studio wall. So to highlight faces or pieces of the body flash couldn't be used or the background would be blown out. So shooting on ambient light the speed was quiet low. This creates a blur to some of the model movements which adds to the relationship to the location images and the purpose of the images.

The purpose of these abstract, lost, abrupt images is to place to the viewer in the shoes of some adolescents that may be finding life a little hard. These images shows how a teenager might view the world or might want to view the world at this time. There is also a repetition through all six images of the teens face not being completely viewed. I added this reflex because they may feel like their not being seen or noticed or they might not want to be seen or noticed. The B+W adds the feeling of a rundown soul with the gloomy back images and without a touch of colour this adds a feeling to the viewer that colour just might be what they need in their lives.

Heaps of thanks to Kristina for the modelling.

SEIKO


The Seiko Watch was a product image shot with a 35mm DSLR. This type of shot is and example of what a magazine would publish for an advertisement. The black negative space shows where any writing or publications would go.
Why shooting the watch, to avoid major reflections in the silver and glass face and to soften the light even more, I placed the watch underwater. This way I was able to get good separation between the face, band and imprints on the Seiko watch.

Lose Yourself


A night of good fun in the rain in Albury. Looking straight down dean st.
This image reminds me of Bill Hensons urban images. Just to look out over the city and 3am and lose yourself in thoughts and imagination.
Using the slower shutter with the rain makes the image look a little cartoonish or sureal.
As the guy beeing photographed has his pants down, this adds a thought of insanity with the rain, and also with the veiw over the city. And thought comes to the veiwers mind on what is happening in the image.
I tend to think the image had good jurnalistic feel to it. As capturing what the boys were up to at 3am in the morning..

Twenty Five. Zero. Four. ANZAC




These were taken on ANZAC day at the dawn service as a photojournalist approach. These images are a tribute to our ANZAC'S, diggers and anyone who served in the war. Me and my co-students from SBIT are having and exhibition on our ANZAC images to raise money for the Kids of Kokoda foundation. 

My images show still how much effort and care goes into ANZAC day. The B+W show great separation from the background and I shot on a aperture to build structure, pin point my subjects and build depth of field. The images show servers of our country and how important it is to attend ANZAC day.

Architecture Again






I NO!! Architecture again. But this is what the course makes me do.
This months brief explain that I was working for Southbank and trying to sell the look of their buildings. Promoting Southbank Institutes buildings with a 120mm Mamyia and some Velvia 100 Film was a bit exhausting.

The images come off with abstract feel not only a look. The lines lead the viewers eyes one way then another but a feel of confusion when the viewer gets to the end of one line and wonders what line to follow next. There is also a feel of attraction to the images in the lighter and darker toned areas. The light areas lead your eyes in, to create a focal point, and the darker areas lead you away. So people tend to look at these images starting at the darker areas following the lines to the lighter areas, in swift movement. The sky's are full of negative space which keeps the viewers total focus on the buildings.
