Self Evaluation
The theme of this project was in the theme of still life linking to the topic Natural Forms and flowers. I choose this project because it was particularly interesting especially when researching various of photographers who concentrated on this area. I love the different range of editing each photographer took for example the way Karl Blossfeldt cleverly and effectively made a black and white image so intriguing. The photographers I studied were Karl Blossfeldt, Pirjo Keene and Carol Sharp.
I'm disappointed with my final piece as I managed not to do it at all, this is because Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 stopped working. Also I never backed up my images to my computer if something like this happened. Another reason is that my initial plan was to do a mix media final piece for my final piece but my images weren't emailing it to myself so which meant I couldn't print out my images.
If I were was to be doing this project again I would 100% make sure I'm prepared, if I was to do mix media or editing on Photoshop. Next time I would back up my images and get them printed a week before hand so I would be less stressed and more prepared.
My intention idea if I had Photoshop working or my mix media piece equipment ready was to make a collage. I would of edited different various of yellow daffodils crop them into a collage in each petal. The vibrant colours representing Pirjo Keene. The background would of been a plain black and white background representing Karl Blossfeldt and also Carol Sharp with the effective blurred background.

Final idea:
This edited image is an idea based on the artist Carol Sharp and Pirjo Keene, this is shown in the vibrant, bright yellow flower and the effective black and white contrasted background with a unique blur technique. Karl Blossfeldt inspired the use of Macrophotography, I have cropped the image so that the focus is just on one petal.
Another idea would of been: the petal would be filled with transparent images of different range of yellow Daffodils in a form of a photo-montage. The background would be blurred in the style of Pirjo Keene and also Carol Sharp with a black and white background. This edited image is an idea based also on the artist Carol Sharp and Pirjo Keene, this is shown as the black and white background is inspired by Sharp. The blurred background is a representation of Pirjo Keene as in her work the flower is the main focus in the photograph. |
