FOUNTAIN 17 BRIEF We were asked to create a response to Marcel Duchamp`s Fountain piece. For my response I wanted to show objects that we take for granted can be visually interesting rather than just ordinary.
MY MAIN INFLUENCE My main inspiration for my work in Andre Kertesz. I like how his work is visually interesting and he creates a multiple of interesting shapes as well as shadows.
SHOOT ONE In this shoot I experimented with filters with the initial idea of using a photocopier to recreate Photograms from Man Ray`s work. I do think these effects are visually interesting as you can see how the effects have changed the contrast of the images. • Filters I used • Chrome • Fade • Transfer • Noir
The effects I used effected the images in different ways. . • Chrome-Brightens image with higher saturation. • Fade-Lightens image with low saturation. • Transfer-Over exposed and warm hue. • Noir-Higher contrast and black and white image
SHOOT TWO In this shoot I experimented with photocopying to achieve a similar effect to Man Ray`s Photograms. However, I do not think I achieved the effect I wanted to, I used a black scarf so I could try this with larger objects and it did not seem to work.
SHOOT THREE In this shoot I attemted tp create interesting shadows as well as composition. I think it is successful for what I wanted to achieve in this shoot.
SHOOT FOUR In this I started to use everyday objects. I attempted to show that these everyday objects can be interesting to view. I have done this by using coloured gels creating interesting shadows and composition. I used only one light in the end with a coloured gel to spotlight the object, but in the beginning I used a softbox as well as a standard head to create interesting shadows. The plan of this shoot was to move the light around to create intersting shadows from the objects. I was inspired to do this hoot by Andre Kertesz and his work with ordinary objects.
SHOOT FIVE In shoot five and six I continued my ideas from shoot for, I just wanted to expand this idea.
SHOOT SIX In this shoot I have changed the colour of the background to see fi this effected the image in anyway for example making it stand out more.
