Gallery Visit Taylor Westing +The photographers Gallery.

Before this trip I had the thought that I wanted to gain some inspiration, as I was starting to struggle with what I wanted to do in a studio. This is because I felt my creativity was limited within a studio and I wanted to see if I could explore what I had in from of me further. From this trip I managed to gather some inspiration as well as deciding what was for me and what was not. For example, the Photographers gallery held an exhibition which was all to do with food. In my opinion I did not feel inspired or thought it was relevant for this particular model. However, I considered that it might aid me in the future.

These are some pieces I admired, this one I particularly grabbed my attention, as I thought it was a creative and humorous piece.

Despite this exhibition, I also decided to attend the Taylor westing Exhibition and thought it fitted more within this module and what I was searching for in terms of inspiration in portraiture.

  • These two portraits inspired me as they focused on the faces of the models it was a close up angle, which maybe I would like to interpret into my work.
  • I also admired that they were black and white, majority of the pieces within the exhibition were colour, therefore both of them caught my eye. I have not decided whether I want my portraits to be black and white or if I want them in colour.

Artist Research

NAM JUNE PAIK EXHIBITION AT TATE MODERN

What I learnt from this ? During this exhibition I was enlightened towards Nams approach to things and how he embraced, predicted and visioned society, such as mass media and new technology. I especially enjoyed his 1971 TV Eye glasses piece, the use of overlapping different mediums/images, almost like a collage. Which has made me consider that it could be interesting overlapping images or using different materials to shoot an image.

Criteria

I have decided to create a list on what I need to achieve awards the end of this module (still image).

1. Final concept have to be three colour portraits using a DSLR Camera (preferably in a studio) 2. Have to shoot in Raw, this is because the quality is better and you have more to work with in terms of post production. 3. Have an independent blog, which should include three or more photographers/ artist research. Plus, how it aids your project outcome in depth. ( considering things like aperture, exposure, background, technical skills and what you are trying to portray).

From this module I want to refresh and further develop my technical skills on lighting, using DSLR cameras as well as post production.

First Brief Of Still Image

The introduction of the new module, DCMP interested me as I was able to have a taster into different types of media. I would acknowledge this is a positive thing as it allows me to establish what kind of media I would like to pursue in the future as well as areas I would not. During the first brief (still image) it prompted me to take notes of what I needed to do. Such as, to research Portrait artists that I thought would aid me in my idea development for my still images. It also informed me that this module is a lot more independent, which established that I had to focus a lot more on logging my journey through the module as well as the process of my work.
