Photographer Research - Ann Miss Feklista
Ann Miss Feklista
I like this photo because I like how she has used the lego toy to create the illusion that there is a person deep sea diving near a jellyfish. Also, I like how she always connects the toy to the hologram to show how she has thought all of this out carefully to make everything tie together and amuse the viewer slightly due to the creative idea.
I like this photo because once again, Feklista has tied in the lego toy with the hologram by using the astronaut. This could present how far we have come in technology and society because we are now able to send people into outer space and we are constantly discovering something new about space each day.
I like this photo because this reminds me on how we are still discovering something new about space and investigating more. Also, this makes me think of the 1960s when scientist was creating and discovering new ways on how to send our people to the moon and how the would all gather together and come up with new ideas until someone finally did it. However, this also gives me thought about an evil master mind plotting on how to destroy the world due to the lego character on the far right's facial expression.

For this shoot, I wanted to use a hologram prism tool I had already. By using this, I was able to capture a different style of Artificial Light and expand my ideas further.

This shoot was heavily inspired by Ann Miss Feklista because she had done something practically identical to what I wanted to do but her main focus was the lego toys (by advertising them for people to buy) with the hologram being an additional element of interest, when for me, the hologram is the main aspect of my photos for this shoot.

I like this photo because you can clearly see the man and woman dancing together and I was able to position the video where the couple was standing close together. This gives the photo a more romantic and heartwarming feel that helps draw the viewer in. Also, this photo can personally relate to most people because they will be able to think of their loved one or their dream partner.
I like this photo because this hologram came out a lot more clearer compared to other holograms I tried to take photos of. Additionally, this photo helps demonstrate how I have taken Artificial Light and produced something completely different to what I have done before. Therefore, I will be able to produce a portfolio that draws the viewer in due to the variety of photos of I have.
I like this photo because I was able to take a clear photo of the diamond hologram so you are able to see the texture and pattern. This adds an extra element of interest because it gives the viewer more details to look at which is emphasised through the diamonds tone, the highlights towards the top of the diamond helps draw more attention.
I like this photo because the image looks simple by being a hologram of the earth, however, this holds a deeper meaning to it. As the viewer is looking at the earth, they will start to consider events on our own earth, both good and bad, and the longer they look at this photo the broader their thinking will become as they will think about events occurring more globally.
I like this photo because I was able to capture the hologram of a bird as if it was in mid-flight. I like how the body of the bird is extremely still but the wings are blurred, this helps emphasise the affect of the bird travelling fast and in mid-flight. Also, this helps create a graceful affect because the bird is able to keep the majority of their body still, almost creating a peaceful atmosphere.

I don't like this photo because I set my aperture correctly, therefore causing my image to be overexposed. Therefore, making this photo unsuccessful because you are unable to see any details on the butterflies wings and make the photo seem less realistic.
I don't like this photo because I set my shutter speed too quickly so this didn't allow enough light to get into the lens to get the correct exposure. Therefore, making this photo unsuccessful because the viewer is unable to see any details of the butterfly due to the photo being underexposed.
I don't like this photo because it is completely black, which occurred because I was too busy changing my settings my phone (where I was getting the visual images to create the hologram) switched off and I didn't realise until after I took the photo.
AO1 - This shoot was heavily inspired by Ann Miss Feklista because I had seen her work and many other people do something very similar before and I wanted to create something like this as well because I thought that it will show I know how the take Artificial Lighting and take a variety of photos. For this shoot I wanted to step away from the fairy lights and other types of genre like this and produce something new to show how I am able to experiment with the idea of Artificial Light.
AO2 - For this shoot, I used my Canon 600D and set my ISO to 400 and for some images I had to set my camera to 200. I had my aperture set to f5.6 and my shutter speed set to 1/60 because I personally found this gave me the correct exposure to see the hologram clearly. Once again, I used a small studio set up with a dark backdrop so the light was able to stand out a lot more from the harsh contrast. I also used a tripod because I knew that my hands would not of been steady enough to take a clear picture, also, I needed my hands free to set up and position each hologram for the photo. To create the hologram, I used a plastic pyramid and my phone which I set up a hologram video. The video had four separate videos of the exact same object that would reflect into the pyramid and produce the hologram.
AO3 - My idea for recording Artificial Light was to use light and create a hologram in a plastic pyramid. I wanted to expand my thinking of Artificial Light and take a step further from what I have previously been doing by demonstrating that I know how to use Artificial Light in multiple ways to produce that best possible and interesting outcomes. In my opinion, I feel as if I was able to achieve this in the photo where the couple was dancing (Best Image 1) because I was able to completely produce a brand new idea by still keep the idea of dreams (from the two people being in love) and peacefulness. Additionally, I feel as if I was also being able to project an important message like I have done in previous shoots with the photo of the earth (Best Image 4) by allowing the viewer to think of important events in the world which are happening now and how they could possible help.
AO4 - I feel as if I have produced a strong series of images because I am able to present a completely different perspective to what I have done before of Artificial Light. By doing this shoot, I will be able to expand my portfolio further and show the viewer I know and understand how to produce multiple ideas that tie into Artificial Light. Additionally, through this images, I was able to capture images of holograms that look very realistic and make the viewer more pulled in to look at them in more detail.
Manipulating My Images
For this project, I didn't want to heavily edit my photos because I wanted the main focus to be on the artificial lighting. Therefore I used settings such as vibrance, curves, contrast and levels to help emphasise the lighting more to make them stand out further to the viewer and drawing them in more. Also, I used burn and dodging in some areas of the photos to exaggerate some highlighted and shadowed areas so it would create more of a contrast and an extra element of interest. For some of my images, I decided to crop the photo so the image was more focused on the hologram instead of the additional negative space.

For this shoot, I wanted to take photos of fairy lights in a clear glass jar to portray Artificial Light in a slightly different way to what I have done before. This shoot could end up making the lights like different due to being reflected through the glass weirdly.
Research Artist
For this shoot, I was inspired by Suren Manvelyan because I liked the way he would lights to add an extra element of interest and draw the viewer in more. Also, I like how he made his photos seem slightly more magical by adding them into the background.

I like this photo because I was able to create a leading line from the edge of the frame going towards the glass vase using lights. This helps drag the viewers' eyes through the whole image and finally ends up at the to jar. I like this photo because it has a magical sensation to it by the lights seeming like fairies leading you towards this wonderland. Additionally, I like this affect because this could suggest how someone might follow this path towards their dreams, due to the magical atmosphere.
I like this photo because I have zoomed in close to the glass vase so you are able to see the heart more clearly. I like that I have done this because the lights have lit up the vase so you are able to see the texture and pattern of the heart which adds an additional element on interest that helps draw in the viewer more. Also, I like how I have zoomed in more because you can see all of the details in the glass and the lights, making some areas look slightly fragile, could represent how some people may not truly believe in their dreams and that thought process in portrayed on the glass.
I like this photo because the lights around the edge helps fill in the negative space around the vase like in other photos. Also, I like how one of the lights was close to the lens because it helps add another layer to the photo that the viewer has to look through. The lights that fill up the negative space kind of creates a leading line like the photo earlier creating a slight line, however it is not as clear compared to the photo earlier.
I like this photo because the viewer is able to truly focus on the glass vase and the lights inside instead of being distracted by other elements. I like this photo because once again it has a sense of magic to it and seems like a bottle filled with dreams and could suggest that the individual has so many dreams and goals that the bottle has started to overfill.
Worst Images
I don't like this photo because I had my aperture set too high therefore, the lights overpowered the whole image because it was overexposed. Also, due to the photo being overexposed, you are unable to see any details of the heart on the vase which was the main purpose of this photo particularly, therefore, making this photo unsuccessful.
I don't like this photo because again the photo is overexposed and the lights overpower the whole image. Also, I don't like this photo because the way the lights are positioned on the side of the vase makes the photo look slightly weird and unbalanced because in my opinion there should be a few more lights above the vase to help fill the empty space.
I don't like this photo because again it is overexposed and you are unable to see anything apart from the lights being blurred together as one. Also, I don't like this photo because I accidentally knocked over my tripod while taking this photo so it made the image extremely blurry and you are unable to make out the shape of the vase clearly, making this photo completely unsuccessful.
AO1 - This shoot was inspired by Suren Manvelyan but I this time I wanted to put my own twist on it. As I have stated in previous shoots, I like his photoshoot with the fairy lights in the background because it creates a sense of magic and peacefulness. I wanted to do something similar again but I wanted to make the fairy lights the main object in all of the photos for this shoot. To make the photos seem more interesting I used a class vase to create the illusion of bottled dreams.
AO2 - For this shoot, I used my Canon 600D and set my ISO to 400, shutter speed to 1/100 and my aperture to f5.6 because I found this gave me the correct exposure to be able to see all of the lights clearly. However, I did accidentally set my aperture to f8 when I fist started the shoot and didn't realise until part way through, hence why my first few photos are overly exposed. Once again, I used a small studio set up with a dark back drop to it would create a stronger contrast with the lights. I also used a tripod so I could focus more on the positioning of the lights and jar and know that my camera would already be set up and stay the same throughout the whole shoot.
AO3 - My idea for recording Artificial Light was to take photos of fairy lights in a vase to present the meaning of bottled dreams. Instead of of my previous shoots I've done, I wanted the fairy lights to be the main focus of the photos and the vase just as an extra element of interest. In my opinion, I feel that I have been able to achieve this appearance in the photo where I have created a leading line using the lights towards the vase where majority of the lights are (Best Image 1) and by doing this I was able to create the illusion of the viewer following the right path to reach their dreams. Also, I feel that I have been able to achieve this in the photo where I took a close up photo of the vase and lights (Best Image 2) because I feel as I have captured the deeper meaning of how dreams are fragile as you can see the scratches on the vase.
AO4 - I feel as if I have produced a strong series of images because I have been able to portray Artificial Light in a way that might intrigue the viewer by being drawn in through the deeper meanings of the images. Through these images, I was able to present the idea of bottled dreams and how one individual can have many dreams and goals they want to achieve but might be hard to attain them. I helped emphasise this message through the use of leading lines, trying to show the viewer that you need to find that one good path that can unlock everything that they wish.
