Location photography - Textiles and Media

Others' work

The following consists of others' images.


TEXTILES

londonprintworkstrust.wordpress.com
These images were taken to promote a print-works course in London. They briefly demonstrate what goes on during the course. From looking at these images, I would say that the only piece of equipment used was a digital camera alongside natural lighting. There doesn't appear to be any indication of reflector or studio lighting. I like the composition of both images, its very simple. 


MEDIA

This image was taken to promote a media course. This photograph helps to briefly demonstrate what goes on during the course. From looking at this image, I would say that studio lighting was used during the shoot alongside a soft box - normally in a media studio the lighting is pointing at the on-camera subject, not the camera crew. You can see the shape of the camera shadowing on the female on the left's face. I can tell that a soft box was used as the lighting is very diffused. I also like the composition of this photograph - it isn't simply shot face-on; it has been taken at an angle with the camera tilted slightly to the left.

Again, this image was taken to promote a media course. This photograph helps to briefly demonstrate what goes on during the course. From analyzing the image, you can tell that the on-camera subjects are not in a studio. I would guess that studio lighting was used on the left-hand-side during the photo-shoot alongside a soft box - Id guess this because the female's left shoulder is lit but her right isn't; this lighting has been diffused by a soft box. I like the composition of this photograph, although the on-camera subjects are the main characters, the camera is in focus. This allows the audience to analyze the camera instead of the two characters - to look at the more technical side of the media course.

This image was taken to promote a media course. This photograph helps to briefly demonstrate what goes on during the course. From analyzing the image, I can tell that the only piece of equipment used was a digital camera. I can tell this because the media lighting has been set up as normal to record the female on camera. The photographer would have been working around this media lighting to make the scenario in the photograph look as natural as possible. I like the composition of this photograph. I can tell that the photograph was taken at a low angle - this is very simple but quite appealing to the audience.  

Zap stand

ZAP STAND

A 'zap stand' is a compact and lightweight retractable banner used mainly for advertising. The outer construction is made of a roll-up aluminium alloy cassette with a built in foot (which allows the banner to stand upright without falling over). The graphic material is made of fabric or laminated paper, matte or glossy.

Below is an image of what a zap stand looks like:

The height and width of zap stands will vary but the above website supplies banners of the following size and weight:

WIDTH: 88 or 118.5cm

HEIGHT: adjustable up to 225cm

WEIGHT: from (approximately) 4.3kg including graphics

Various image types

Nature:

I think that my image represents nature very well. All of the colours in the the photograph are very subtle. The forget-me-not flowers in the photo are very small - I think that shows how very delicate nature is. Overall, you get a feeling of safety and calmness.

Built environment:

This image is almost completely opposite to the previous image. This type of environment has been built and is man-made which gives a sense of alteration. Although there has been a lot of tampering with nature; the houses in the picture are all close together which gives a feeling of comfort. 

Natural framing:

The window in my photograph demonstrates how sometimes certain objects can naturally frame another object or location. This image is very simple - this image shows how the outside location has been framed naturally (it hasn't been altered TO frame the scene) by the house window.

Abstract conceptual:

These images are quite simple images of my cats eyes. This image is a "abstract conceptual" because the image represents something but in an abstract way. So, in this case my images represent my cat but it has been done abstractly - only the face/eyes are photographed and has been edited so that the eyes are a bright green colour with the black and white fur looking 'contrasty'. 

This photograph represent my love of my cats and music. However, I don't think that I have captured the objects abstractly - they look rather dull. 

Again, this photograph represents myself - my love of quirky bits of jewellery and my name. As you can see, the object is a moustache shaped ring - however, with my name being "Natasha" it kind of represent me. Again, I don't think that this object has been photographed "abstractly".

Long exposure:

This photograph is a very basic demonstration of how images can be created using "long exposure". This image was created by setting my camera to a slow  shutter speed - once the button has been pressed, a light was used to create a light trail.
