AS Exam Final Piece

For my exam work I chose the subjects 'Splash' and 'Coloured Light'. I chose to work with water droplets as they are very unusual and different, and create amazing and unexpected shapes through the water. In the photograph above I added dissolved syrup to the water and then dropped blackcurrant cordial into the water to create the blend of the red and 'bluey' green amongst each other; what really stands out in this photgraph is the effect the red cordial has created on the droplet itself, with the interesting pattern around the small 'pot like' implosion in the surface of the water. The shadows amongst the ripples really help them to stand out well and almost make them come out of the photograph in th viewers eyes and this is helped well by the blackcurrant cordial merging throughout the water below the droplet effect. I really like the effect of the blurred background helping the foreground to stand out particularly well, and also the small red droplets that seem to have burst from the middle of the water implosion of colour, creating almost a splash of colour through the water.

AS Coursework Final Piece

For my coursework I was looking at 'Fashion Through the Ages', from 1920's right up to the present day. My photoshoot leading up to the final piece encorporated the 50s, with the black dress that the girl's wearing, and the 80s with the bright light of the sun and the bright colours surrounding the girl including the pink flowers which all contrast particularly well with the darker colours of the woodland and also the black dress. This piece, I feel, portrays the real intensity of both eras and the 'unusualness' of blending both together. I like how the girl is looking into the distance, creating a sense of mystery towards the photograph.
