Work Record 4

Preparations:

Moving on from environmental damage, in this shoot, I will be shooting to show how people destroy our world in a different way. Graffiti destroys the beauty of the enviroment and makes society look untidy.

Photographers research:

Martha Cooper
Martha Cooper, an iconic American street photographer, lives the life that many would envy. Ever since the early 70s, she’s been capturing the essence of street culture and art in NYC. The bright colours of the graffiti shows a sense of beauty even though its creates and overall mess. Creating a ironic image. I lieke how the rest of the picture looks grey and dull to highlight the graffiti. The second photo is the look in want to achieve, a hint of colour that is saturated, with dull and dirty graffiti in a run down train.

Images That Need Improving:

These photos need improving due to them not being aesthetically pleasing cause of the angles and composition.

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

I think my shoot went well and reflected my idea of a dustructive world through environmental damage. My Research of Martha Cooper was helpful in my work as it gave me my idea of burning and dodging with saturation to make the graffiti stand out more. The images came out as I expected, however I wish I had a more rural area to shoot in.

A01: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other
 sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
My artist research is shown throughout my images, with similarities of colour. However my photos are not as urban and rural looking.


AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.  

        I believe that I have produced a strong series of images inspired by my research of environmental damage and the images of Martha Cooper. The final images I have edited present a destructive world in different ways. It presents how we are using destructive behaviour and deviance to create an unpleasant world to live in and damaging our environment.

Progression:

Moving forward i will like to look at a differetn side of a destructive world, and the more permenant factors. I will do this through a shoot of Northern Cyprus and how they are living in Poverty due to a war that went on years ago.
