Day 14

Lens based media rotation.

The introduction to LBM was of a great interest to me because the history that we were looking at of how lenses have been used and different concepts related to this subject were topics that I had previously learnt about. 

I really admired the ideology of what LBM may be about focusing on the subject matter, which is what I have tried to focus on in my photos in the past. This is the photo I chose from the photographs I had captured over the weekend. I learnt what might truly represent myself in one photo.

I was able to capture this photo by looking up at the V&A. I tend to find the great details of subjects at places that I probably have passed many times, and I found that I prefer the perspective of looking up than looking straight ahead. I like this photo because I wanted to integrate the many angles and textures that were on display. On ground level it was much more busy, but moving the camera angle upwards removes this noise and focuses on the invisible structure that people may not tend to acknowledge. My favourite part is that the glass, reflection, nature, bricks, gaps, space all meet in harmony and the strong contrast of shadow and light. At the same time many angles are integrated in one moment. 

This photograph was then drawn out in an A1 size to focus on the subject. Afterwards, we then removed the irrelevant parts of the piece in order to focus on details or even find new perspectives within your photo. 

I didn’t think that I removed the ‘irrelevant parts’ very well because I felt that I needed to include most of the areas of the photograph.

As I was rushed for time at the end of the day, I took several photos for each of these words: happy, sad, crush, fall, jump and echo. 

Yet again, I enjoyed this activity because I was able to question the subject rather than just present it in its obvious form. 

Are they HAPPY?

SAD Series.

CRUSH.

How did this FALL to the ground?

Ready to JUMP?

Can you see the ECHO?
