Day: December 5, 2017

During the workshop task in week 6, we were told to come into the workshop as our alter-ego, or as someone else for the day (made easier as it happened to be halloween). We then experimented with lighting and lenses to take portraits of each other. Below are some that were taken of me and my friend Elen.

The next ones are some photos I took of elen. These are of her channeling Wednesday Addams in a black dress on a black background, therefore it was difficult to get her outline, however I like the effect that she just blends in to the background, and is also moody as heck.

I learnt how to set up the studio to take high quality photographs which was helpful, and will come in handy for future projects.

For this seminar task, we were told to go to a place on campus and write what we saw around us. this was inspired by Georges Perec’s “An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris.” He sat in places and observed the sights, sounds and smells of the world around him in an attempt to make the uninteresting, interesting.
