Even more photos

These three photos are on panel 2, above the gridded photos from the previous post. Like most of my other photos, they include the contrast of light and dark.

They also relate back to these three photos from panel 1, with the grouping of the objects together, in book + chess pieces, mask + book, and chess pieces + mask.

Top of panel 2

These six photos are going at the top of panel two, in two rows of three. They tie back into the top of panel one, with the simple photos of the individual objects.

New photos + new artist model

These sets of photos are going at the bottom of panel two, to finish my folio. They were influenced by a  photography video Mrs Clemence showed me at the beginning of the year, of light being moved around objects to create different shadows. I thought the idea from the video would work well with my concept of light and shadow creating mystery and intrigue around objects.

They also introduce a new artist model within my work, Maurizio Galimberti. Galimberti uses the grid format to create a series of photographs of one subject, called a "photographic mosaic". The viewpoint of each photo is shifted slightly, to create an extended, multi-dimensional image of the subject. 

First panel finished (actually finished this time)

This is my first board which is finally finished. I've changed a few of the photos in the first two rows and added the chess silhouettes in the bottom row. Those new photos give me a new artist model, Rene Magritte. He's a painter who uses images in the silhouettes of other objects, which is what I've done with the chess pieces and the blurred glitter of the mask.

Folio board #1 (almost)

This is my first folio board, almost finished.

There's another row of photos that I need to edit a bit and then add to the bottom, and I want to edit some of the other ones a little more, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Next: incorporating artist models in my work (after actually finding artist models).

Lotsa new photos

Here is a contact sheet for all of my new photos from last week and today, working around grouping and arranging my subject matter together. I still want some help deciding which ones should go on my folio (hint hint, Mrs Clemence).

Another new shoot

Today I finally took some photos using different subject matter:

I was playing around with the chess pieces and the way the light shines through them when I got the first image of the frosted pieces. I thought the tones in the photo looked really nice, so I tried to replicate the photo with the unfrosted pieces. I love the effect the light has on the different kinds of glass, and I think I want to use these two on my folio.

I also took a few more photos using the mask and the books, paying attention to the contrast of light and darkness:

I've also thought about using an idea I had for my painting folio, of using a sort of narrator throughout my photos to connect all of the subject matter together, using either my hands or some else's, so I'm going to explore this idea in my next shoot and see how it works.
