Evaluation

For this assignment we have been asked to produce 5 final images and submit them to Fujifilm Student Competition. I have been taking photographs of Molly, I have been taking some simple portraits. I wanted them to be pure and smooth as I like simple portraiture, and as I was not sure about my idea it is always good to take some simple images so then you have a wide range of work and ideas that will make your photograph look like you want it to look. My work is also about stitching on images. From the start my idea was the same, I wanted to take portraits and stitch on them from the start so it did not really change at all. I was going to do some cut ups but then I didn't so I just left my images as they were. There are few equipment I have used in this project such as.; film camera, film, scanner, Mamiya RB67, softbox, snoot, needle, thread. Basically, I have used Mamiya for the first time and I loved it! It is not as complicated as I thought and when you get to use it more often it becomes as easy to use as digital camera. There was one problem I had to deal with in this assignment namely it was a photoshoot that did not work at all because one of my tutors told me to experiment with aperture so I did and all my images were under exposed I think only two of them worked but there was no point in scanning them into a computer because them two images were not the ones I wanted to use as my final images. I had no more time to arrange another photoshoot so I just left it as I was happy with them images I took of Molly. There is definitely an artist that have influenced me in my work which is Maurizio Anzeri as I was inspired by his embroidery work. If i done this assignment all over again I would probably do more photoshoots than I did this time to make sure I have a wide range of images to pick from. I am happy with my final outcomes but it could always been better than it is now.
