Constructed Photography.- Project 3

The aim of this project is to experiment with photos working with a given work or communication considering light and forms and exploring ideas.

i decided that i was going to use two words to work from, the words i have decided to use are time and wait.i then started to get a few ideas down for each word.


           Time

  • Clock
  • watch
  • stopwatch
  • hourglass
  • Tower clock
  • Big Ben
  • Day/Night
  • Pregnancy 
  • Baby to Adult
  • bud to flower
  • sunset/ sunrise 
          Wait
  • Traffic 
  • Traffic Lights
  • Stop sign
  • Ques
  • Bus
  • Train
  • DLR
  • Airplaine
  • Summer
  • Winter
  • Rain to stop 
  • Wind to Stop 

I then went out and took some photos of what i thought interpreted these two words.










Before choosing my final images i decided experiment on photo shop with different filters and colour balances to see what different kinds of effects i could make.

After doing some experiment i have decided that the images i chose i will edit on photo shop to have a vintage style, which i will create by changing the brightness and contrast and then adding a Gradient map going from purple to yellow Over the top with an opacity of 28%


TIME





WAIT





 I am really pleased with my series of photos i think they work very well together and I also think they well represent each chosen word. I really enjoyed this project as i like to experiment and play around with photo shop, i also enjoyed actually going out to find the right sort of image myself i found it quite a challenge.
