Location Photography
I
wasn’t very clear at the first time when I recieved the assignment from my
teacher. I know that location photography isn’t that hard as underwater
photography but I wasn’t very sure about my idea. As soon as I recieved my
assignment I started make research about location photographers. They are Paul
Grundy, Ian Aitken and Simon Warren. All of them are focussing on the location
photographs and each of them has their own techniques. Paul and Ian have similar location photographs
of the taking photos in the daily sky colour changing. They both focussing on
more about the colours and the landscape views. Ian’s photographs are more
about sea side, country side and showing many changes of the sky in every day
life such as sunset, night time and morning sky picture. Paul photographs are
more about the big landscape of the top of the city’s view. He shows a lot more
about his city. He is very good at taking picture at night of the city
buildings.
Simon’s
photographs are very architectural. It is all about buildings and the
environments around him. He tooks picture of what is happening in his community
area and a lot picture of buildings’ exterior and interior. I really like one
of his location photography about the area of welthastow. He took the picture
of each popular places in the Welthamstow and connecting them all together to
show about the Welthamstow which I think it is very interesting and amazing
work that he got.
I
didn’t just do research about location photography. I also looked at the other
different photographers. I really like the underwater photography because it is
something not every photographer can do and you always have to be careful in
the water. I found the great underwater photographer. Her name is Zena Holloway
and she is currently working for so many advertising. Her photographs in the
water are amazing because every photos of her underwater pictures look
different. It is really hard to take picture in the underwater and I can see
she add lots of afford to make all of them look very different with other
photographers.
I
also made research about another photographer named Jerry Uelsmann. He is a
very creative person more than photographer. He didn’t just take photograph of
the location. He always showing the meaning to everyone of his photograph. I
have one favourite picture of his photograph that he combined with the water,
sea and the hand. First he took the picture of the location picture and then
connected with water on the hand. That photograph designs is very unique one. I
really like the idea of all his photographs because it isn’t just about taking
photograph, it is also have the meaning on it.
My designs are inspired by Paul Grundy’s work. I really like his work so my photographs are similar like his style such as the colour, the tone of it and the angle of the photograph. I organised all my work in my sketchbook sticking all them in the right places and I sticked them very neat. I also made annotate to my works that I’ve done during this assignment. I did really enjoy this assignment because I learnt a lot about using DSLR camera changing many different settings. During one week half term I went to Isle of Wight for photo shot because Isle of Wight sea and really like to get nice photo shot so I went there. I got so many nice shot of the views in Isle of Wight that I wanted to start with my final outcome.
I planned to use photoshot to my photography but at the end I decided not to because I really like the natural photograph which is showing natural day light and natural beauty of the nature. Each photography assignment taught me to learn more about the using camera and taught me how to take picture to get nice landscape and portrait. That’s why I really enjoy my photography assignment. If I will have more time to complete this again I would like to make it look more professional photograph.
