Proposal

Proposal

I plan to do reduction and image making through taking something away. I plan to do a series or one piece made up of several. I feel that this can be best achieved through an experimental creative process. This is an area that has always interested me. The subject area I plan to use is buildings/architecture.

TST Object No.2

TST Object for Second Shoot

I have recently built a paper model of Tower Bridge which is London. I have taken a few pictures to show the process of making the model. 

TST Update

Update on TST

I decided to use 35mm film. The reason for this is I want to do a range of shot compositions and a range of manipulations. This would allow me to do this. I have done a shoot of my objects to do with what I would use while experimenting on Negotiated Project. The film has not yet been developed. I would like though do a second shoot. This would be an another idea I have had on what my object could else be. This was a building. The thing is that a building can't be taken in the studio for obvious reasons. The reason why I would like to do a building is this has a stronger relation to my Negotiated Project. The way I'm going to overcome this is by building a paper model that is a building. I do feel that doing this will be more of an advantage to my Negotiated Project. It would give the project more aid, development and experimental work that would be important to refer too. 

TST Objects

TST Objects List

I have made a little list of objects that I wish to photograph for my TST.

TST Ideas

Ideas For TST

I have noted down ideas of what to shoot. Also, what I could do in the darkroom. My main thoughts are to photograph objects that I would use while experimenting.

Transformative Studio Task

Transformative Studio Task - What is it?

This is a smaller project that isn't part of Negotiated project. But it is something that will have to relate to it. It will also aid the project. 

We have to use an object or objects for our subject. It has to be taken in the studio on film in black and white. 

As we have to follow certain things it means that we will be looking at the project from a different angle. This may be an important part of the development of the negotiated project. 

At the end, we will have to produce a single black and white hand print (8 by 10 inch) that has been done in the darkroom. 

Mood Board No.2

Mood Board of Buildings/Architecture

I have done another mood board. This time, I have looked at buildings/architecture photography. There are also some techniques there as well.

The works of Aldo Tolino that I really like is his works of Folded Portraits. The main material that he works with is paper. In a video, he mentions how paper is unlike canvas as you are able to change much more. That there are "two very interesting things with paper, you can put paint on it, you can print something on it, or you can fold pieces of paper".
