DSDN 144 Project 1- Space
Second photo shoot finals-
These are the photos I feel are successfully working well as a set and are using the techniques my artist models have used in their photos. This time around when taking photos, I seemed to be more drawn to this particular area of Kelburn Campus because of the seats there that help to create an empty and lonely feeling that I want to have in my photos. The way the seats have been arranged to help this space to have that unused and lifeless feel to it. All my photos I feel are showing certain properties of the artist models I have taken a liking too.
Edward Bertinskys use of showing space by making the format of his photos landscape has been portrayed across all my photos in this set. Having these photos in landscape helps to show a much more wider view of the space and enhance the feelings you want to convey.
Andrew Ross's use of objects to help show his idea has been taken and used in my photos. Some of the objects I have used to help convey my idea of emptiness are the benches and chairs. The empty chairs and benches give off that unused feeling and this helps to convey my idea of emptiness in my photos.
Andrew Ross used lights to help his photography stand out. Even though the ability to alter light was minimal when doing this second photo shoot because of the interference of the rain, small areas of light managed to come through some of my photos. For example in photos 3, I managed to capture the lamp light casting a small light over the middle part of the benches to act as a focal point for the image.

Second photo shoot-
For my second photo shoot, I decided to narrow down on what areas of Kelburn Campus gave me the best results and what techniques from my artist models were working with the photos whilst making it a good looking set.
When taking the photos, I focused on making them landscape because it gives off a wider area of space to look at and it seemed to have a more effective result than the photos in portrait after reviewing them in last weeks studio.
The first 70 photos unfortunately were a bit out of focus without me fully realizing this, and the weather was unfortunately a bit against me this time round (it was raining for the duration of the morning) but there are still some successful photographs in there that still have the potential to work as a set for my finals.

Mini world of Wellington Waterfront-
For my mini world, I made it on my panorama of the Wellington waterfront. When making my panorama, I cropped and overlayed my photos and this is my end result. The sides managed to make a connection despite being both different ends (the tree and the pole) and I feel this is a pleasing result for a first mini world.

First Photo shoot (top 5 photos)-
After deciding my location, I began doing my first photo shoot at Victoria University (Kelburn Campus). These are the photos I thought were the best ones and that follow my artist models while still showing the theme I want to be shown in it.
Photo number 1 and photo number 4 followed the influence of Edward Bertinsky. I tried to use the space in the photos to give off a hollow and empty feeling to it, just as Edward Bertinsky has done in his photos.
Photo 2 and 3 followed the artist model Andrew Moore. In these two photos, I tried to use some of the objects such as the benches and seats to show the shallow lifeless feeling to them, just as Andrew Moore has used the chemistry equipment in his photo to help create a chaotic and busy mood to the photo.
Photo 5 followed the artist model Andrew Ross. When taking this photo I used the light the lamp post gave off to make some shadow in the image, just like Andrew Ross did in his photos.

Experimenting locations-
To decide which place I should use for my first photo shoot, I decided that I should try to photograph the place and see which place has the best results. In the end I chose Victoria University over Te Aro campus or the Kelburn hill (these were my two other options). I chose to use Victoria University as my location because it has a lot more open space to convey the empty feeling I want it to have and has a lot of objects around that can help me show off this idea. For example the empty benches give off that lonely feeling to it and that it is lifeless around the place.

Panorama-
When deciding where to take my first panorma, I decided to do the waterfront in Wellington city. I decided to use this area because there were so many different angles that you could take your paranorama view at and the background scenery such as the buildings were able to help make it easier to connect the photos together.

Artist Model 3-
Edward Bertinsky- My third artist model is Edward Bertinsky. A reason why Edward Bertinsky has been chosen as my third artist model is because of the wide view his photos are taken at. By taking his photos at a wide view we are able to take in a lot more detail about the space. If the photos were taken closer, then tis would mean we'd be missing out on some of the detail about the space and wouldn't get to witness as much. An example is in the portrait photo I have attached to this post. Even though we are given a lot more detail on the objects themselves, we rarely see much else other than the objects and background light, thus missing out all the extra space around.

Artist model 2-
Andrew Ross- The second artist model I have chosen to follow is Andrew Ross. Andrew Ross has been selected as my second artist model because of his use of light in his photos. The way he has used the light helps to give his photos more defined and visable shadows to give his photos a more controlled look.

Artist Model 1 for Project 1-
Andrew Moore- An artist model I have decided to use is Andrew Moore. A reason why I have chosen to use Andrew Moore as an artist model/ influence is because of his use of his use of objects rather than people to display his style of photography. Rather than using people to help create a feeling towards his photos, he has instead use objects to do this. Objects that he has used to help give a feeling to his photos include clothes to give off a home and relaxed feeling. Another example is through the use of chemistry eqquipment all across the floor to give off that chaotic and busy idea to the image.

DSDN 144 Project 1- Space
Brainstorm 1- Possible Locations and ideas/themes-
After looking through the brief for Project 1, I began to brainstorm some possible locations that I would like to photograph for my "Space" project. The main idea that I seemed to want to show in my photo was feelings of darkness, such as sadness and loneleness. I realised that I would really like to bring this concept into my photos because its always been an area that I find more interesting to bring into photos unlike many others that try to capture spaces of happiness and joy.
The main areas I have been looking at using for my space are the Kelburn Hill (the hill that leads up to Kelburn Campus from Te Aro campus) the Kaori cemetery or Kelburn Campus. I have chosen these 3 areas as possible areas for my loction for Project 1 because I believe that they have an ability to display the deep emotional feelings of darkness that I want it too.
Below is a brainstorm on my locations and why I have thought of using these places for my project and how I will take the photos (whether it be day or evening).
