Landscape, City and Waste Presentation

Landscape, City & Waste by David Bromley

Waste Final Prints

These are my Final Prints for my Waste Project:

Shutter Speed: 1second Aperture: F11

Shutter Speed: 4seconds Aperture: F22.7

Shutter Speed: 1/2 Aperture: F8.0.3

With this prints I wanted to show how the family space has changed by photographing rooms in my Gradfather's house. I chose to concentrate on the bedrooms where my mother's family slept and the dining room table where they always used to eat. On refelction on these final prints I feel that I have achieved what I wanted to by showing the rooms devioid of human presence but I chose to include objects in the photographs that have realtion to the people that once inhabited these spaces such as the first image my Grandmother's Dressing Table, in the second image the table being set out for a familty meal and the third the photograph of a relative and the old Monopoly game on the bed. I have been influenced by photographers I have referenced such as Jessica Backhaus, Oyvinsd Hejelman Phillp Toledano, Dwayne Michals and Breda Beben.  I think that the images are a little dark and to improve I could of made them lighter, however I think that the darkness works well with my concept.

City Final Prints

These are the Final Prints for my City Project :

Witht these prints I wanted to show how Urbanisation has affected Small Towns and Cities. I chose to use double exposures as my technique because I find that multiple exposure photography goes against the nature and rules of traditional photography. I chose to under and overexpose my images to emphasize this notion of fragmentation, dominance and submission with my images. In the majority of my images I have chosen to experiment with using trees in my work as I find them to have this omnipresent quality of nature. I have found these images to be quite experimental, spontaneuos and unique which is due to the complexity of tones, shapes, lines and textures. These images have been hugley infleunced by photographers I have referenced such as Hans Malm, Jason Evans and Lee Friedlander. I think that I have produced visually interesting images that translate my ideas about the rapid growth of ubranisation. To improve these images I think I needed to have a little more thought into what I photograph to get better results.

Landscape Final Prints

These are my Final Prints for my Landscape Project:

Shutter Speed: 1/500 Aperture: F4.0

Shutter Speed: 1/500 Aperture F4.0.3

Shutter Speed: 1/500 Aperture: F4.0.5

With these prints I wanted to show how high demand for food has dramatically changed how our food is produced. I chose to photograph plastic play food to emphasize this notion of how our food becoming artifical due to industustrial scale of production and artificial means of production through environmental controls. I chose to photograph this plastic play food on a dinner to plate to show that we consume this food that has been produced in this artificial manor and I chose to photograph these objects in a field to show how food should be produced on the land and in the earth rather than in an large industrial greenhouse. These images have been influenced by photographers I have referenced such as Simone Nieweg, Hannah Collins and Freya Najade. I think that I have got what images I wanted from my ideas about the project and through the references I have researched. I think to have improved on these images I think I should of use a wider variety of plastic play food so that my final images would have been more visually varied.

Landscape Film Test Shoots 3 & 4

This is a contact print I made to show the results of my third Landscape Film Test Shoot:

Frame	Shutter Speed	Aperture
1	1/500	F4.0
2	1/500	F4.0
3	1/250	F5.6
4	1/500	F4.03
5	1/500	F4.03
6	1/250	F5.63
7	1/500	F4.05
8	1/500	F4.05
9	1/250	F5.65
10	1/125	F8.05
11	1/125	F8.05
12	1/125	F8.05

With this shoot, I decided to experiment with a shallow depth of field, I quite like the shallow depth of field because I think it draws the viewer into the image more which makes the viewer engage more with the work.

This a contact print that I made to show the results of my Forth Landscape Film Test Shoot:

Frame	Shutter Speed	Aperture
1	1/125	F11.7
2	1/60	F16.7
3	1/125	F11.2
4	1/60	F16.2
5	1/125	F11.8
6	1/60	F16.8
7	1/125	F11.5
8	1/60	F16.5
9	1/125	F11.6
10	1/60	F16.6
11	1/125	F11.6
12	1/60	F16.6

City Film Test 2 & 3

This is a contact sheet I made to show the result of my second test shoot for City and highlighted my choices from this shoot:

Here I have tried to experiment with signs and wall textures, but so far it is not working because I am not experimenting enough with over and underexposing the two different images within the single frame. I think what is working is using trees as part of my image in double exposures because I find they create this omnipresent quality of nature. 

This is another contact print I made to show the results of my latest test shoot for my City Project. I have highlighted my choices from this shoot: 

Landscape Film Test Shoot 2

This is a contact sheet that I made to show the results of my further test shots for my Landscape Project:

I have highlighted which frames which so far I was pleased with in terms of composition. For the next Test Shoot which I have scheduled for Thursday I need to change the plate I use because I find that the plate is reflecting light onto the plastic play food which is starting to bleach out parts of the plastic food. Also I want to experiment with using a faster shutter speed to slightly darken the images because I feel they are a little too bright.

Frame	Shutter Speed	Aperture
1	1/125	F8.0.9

Landscape Lighting Digital Test Shoot

This is a test shoot for Lighting for my Landscape Project because I thought the lighting was too harsh in the first test shoot I had done for the project :

I greatly prefer this lighting to the previous test shoot because I find the lighting to be more even and diffused by the overcast conditions. Also I like the ground level angled shots because of the amount of the field you can see. In the next test shoot I will be testing out the composition of my objects I have chosen to photograph in this space.
