Lens based media is a a new two week project that we have started, which consists of using the lens on the camera to capture exiting images. As part of our brief, we are to capture six images which challenges a stereotype by subverting the meaning of that stereotype. Our first workshop was to experiment playing with lighting in a photograph which could both enhance the image or downgrade the image based on what the photographer is aiming for.
My thoughts of this image is that it has not worked, this is due to a number of reasons. One of these reasons is the fact that the subject is too close to the background which has made the light focus mostly on the background rather than the subject. The colour of the background is also too bright which has clashed with the colour of the light and made it less visible.
This images is more successful than the image above, this is because I believe the two shadows behind the subject has brought some life to the image and has a mysterious atmosphere to it. Although this subjects is also very close to the background, in this image the light has been more visible than the previous images which in a way makes it unique.
Out of all three images this is definitely the most successful, and it is not because it is a image of myself. There are many positive aspects that myself, Eiva and Taylor have managed to capture in this image. the first thing is the fact that we have accomplished our brief given by Gareth which was to capture both street and moon lighting in the image which is visible on my face. We also did not make the same mistakes as on the previous images, which was not to stand too close to the background which has improved our image due to the fact both lights are focused on me and not on the background. This has engaged all the focus of the lens on my face which is both at the centre of the image and the most visible in the image.
