DSDN 144- Photography Project 3- Light

Proposal: 
What I intend to do for my project is focus on shadows; and contrast them with different intensities of light e.g sunlight, electric light, light v.s water. I will use several precedents towards my use of shadows and lights, and take several images over time which relate towards my three key points relating to light.

I will analyze the properties of light, and will continue experimenting with these properties in order to create my images toward my use of shadows. 

I will also begin to experiment with color (e.g different objects), and how it alters the contrast between light and shadow.





For my first shoot images, I will explore the concept of shadow in a similar way to the images above. I have two more precedents- the shadow of a windmill, along with a closed door, letting out a ray/beam of sunlight. These are what I intend to create when shooting my first images. I may take some more photos as I progress with this idea, of different objects, yet relating to the same theme of light and shadow.








FIRST SHOOT
My first shoot consisted of new areas and objects for photography. I explored the Karori Cemetery, along with a forested area (which would make a good movie set). I didn't take any images of  anything that related to the cemetary itself, however, I did manage to capture a series of lifelike shadows along with rays of light, altered the images on Photoshop to give more of a contrast between light and shadow.

 

 SECOND SHOOT

Using my precedents and my first-shoot images, I tried a different way of interacting with light and shadow. The first two images were taken towards what was originally just a mud-puddle. I focused more closely on these puddles and developed them to look more like a night sky, with the contrast of light and shadow. The third and fourth images are miuch simpler, as they are simply just a couple of lifelike shadows taken up at Mt.Kaukau.
The final two images are more about light than shadow, After looking at my water vs light images, I may continue to develop this theme further and use these for my final images.
