As one of my assessment tasks for Alternative Presentation at the Centre for Creative Photography was to create a book from my favourite Holga double exposure images.
Taken in 5 states of Australia, these represent my favourites to date!
I hand bound a book to display them – fabulous course, great place to learn!!!
My last series called “Seeing” had a number of great images that highlighted something in the foreground of an image, rather than the background. My favourite from that series was the post at Ayres Rock (Uluru – in the set again).
In this series I have extended that idea. I selected a number of Adelaide and environs iconic locations and highlighted something in the foreground as the focal point. These 15 images represent the extension of my original idea and will be part of my Camera 3 assessment at the Centre for Creative Photography next Tuesday.
Love some feedback!
Just completed the Centre for Creative Photography ‘Photographic Concepts’ course – brilliant!! These are my assessment images with artist statement …
seeing
we all see
we all look
do we all see the same things? in the same way?
interesting changes occur as one learns to see the world through a camera
endlessly chasing a new angle or image or idea
learning principles of art and design and perspective and more have changed the way i see the world
no more obvious is this change than in travel
hoards of tourists face the iconic
camera or phone or iPad aimed and capturing the place and space
while this photographer
obsessed by the abstract
is caught at a fence post
gazing at overhead lanterns
capturing a patterned window dressing
peering at split timber against a wall
watching light dance and seeing something others barely notice
this series represents 12 moments
captured in special australian and asian places
12 moments where my photographer’s eye saw something others did not
12 moments where the main focus was less relevant than the colour or light or angle or aspect or object i framed
I have been studying Photoshop at the Centre for Creative Photography this term. I have achieved much more than I’d have thought possible – just LOVE it – would like more time to ‘play’!!!!
Finally tackling the range of amazing things that Photoshop allows one to do. I have been an advocate for pretty much how they come out of the camera – a little sharpness tweak, or maybe a touch of saturation, but basically my images are created in camera.
Then I enrolled in ‘Intro to Photoshop’ at the centre for Creative Photography. Part of my Diploma course …
What you see here are pairs of before and after images. Fun!!
