My Finals

My finals are intended to represent the business of cities and how all cities almost look the same.

Another 3D Model

Originally the model is an A4 size

i choose to make a bigger model to see what effext a bigger model has.

i don't feel that all the layers in this model work well with each other, the overall appearance isn't aesthetically pleasing

Nottingham Vs Lonodn

A too straight forward and boring Photograph??

Comparing Cities and Towns

Although the edits in this image in Photoshop are a little rough, the over all effect is okay. in hind sight i should have blurred the two paths together so that they become one.

i wanted to combine a village and a city together so see if they work wihtin ecah other, this i have managed and it create an interesting photo.

Playing with layouts

I prefer the second image, the fact it hasn't been tightly cropped to me just adds to the image, it appears to be a little more unusual.

A PhotoCollage

Im not entirely positive about this photograph; i feel it matches Hockney's style too much

My First 3D model

The original model is only A6 size

I have nearly completed a new project where i am investigating how cities are viewed what makes them different from each other. i want to my images to show the clutter within all cities and how we view them.

The following images are my attempts to show this.

Bad Photo

I had already booked the studio before I started this project in order to practice my skills. So I decided to use the studio to take my first few photos.

This is a bad image as it has no originality, as it’s extremely similar to the Ritts image. I produced the photograph as I wanted to experiment with the studio equipment. I also feel that the colour on the clothes is too dark as you can’t see any details in the suit.

Annie Lebovitz
“killers kill dead men die”

This photograph is from the Vanity Fair magazine the Hollywood issue. I love the project where I have taken this image from. The spread has a loose narrative, and generally follows the main elements and narratives that film noir usually carried. There are femme fatales, private detectives, reporters, jealous women, hard-boiled cops. What Leibovitz did magnificently, was trying to recapture the spirit, and intrigue, and darkness of film noir. All of the clothing is modern clothing, but it all has that vintage feel that make you think that you’re looking into the past. The clothes aren’t costumes they are modern clothes and the car isn’t from the 40s it’s a 1964 Chrysler imperial. It’s almost saying if you try and make something too perfect it won’t look right, you can have scope to make things a little modern even if you are referring to the past. The lighting with in this image is really interesting. There was a big Bebe night light—a bank of 12 HMI lights—flooding the background. But the foreground was shot with just the light from the old Graflex that the Weegee (the photographer) figure is holding. They had to change the flashbulb each time we shot the picture.

Herb Ritts
Michelle Pfeiffer

As Herb Ritts is one of the best celebrity photographers he can usually make his subjects do whatever he wants. Ritts has already described this image in detail to Patrick Roegiers. This image is of Michelle Pfeiffer “she wasn’t comfortable with being herself and doing the photograph in front of a still camera. I think she wanted to break stigma of being beautiful. I decided to do her playing different roles, thinking this was a way of taking her out of herself. The photograph we are speaking off is actually a character from a Noel Coward play. I suggested that it would be interesting if she played a man. She had read the play and had the idea of the Noel Coward character Elyot. We put her in an Armani men’s Tuxedo. I dint want to anything to her face. We literally wet her hair parted it and drew on a moustache. She walked down to the steps and sat down she was suddenly Clark Gable. She was in the 20s mode, down to the hand gestures and all. I didn’t tell her what to do.” The idea of this image is almost an alter ego, a made up persona it’s what I enjoy about it.

Annie Lebovitz
“Alice in wonderland”

Produced for Vogue in December 2003 each designer in the series was asked to create the blue dress that Alice is wearing. Other than this I don’t really know a lot about this image. I do really love it though, the narrative structure appeals to me. The fairy tale epic narrative touched by the wand of the style essay, turning fashion into a cultural phenomenon making the clothes become intertwined with photography, literature and technology. Proving the sky is only as far as your imagination.
