Mounting

These are my final images mounted onto white mount board, with a light grey boarder around them. My 100 word statement has also been mounted. I decided to put each photoshoot on different pieces of board, as they are seperate in my life, however they still have a strong sense of togetherness .

The Fear

I have just had a moment of fear. The mounting of my photos will be on white mounting board, with a grey sheet underneath each photo to use as a boarder. However I have a fear that my photos when spread out on one sheet will not flow together, as half are set at one place and the other half separately.  However when reading through my blog I calmed down as the reason I chose to do them half and half was to show two very different relationships. Bringing these relationships together on one page creates a juxtaposition, however it works because in anyone's life, no matter how many different types of relationships you have, they all blend together to create one big relationship.

100 words!

A massive inspiration for my images has been Koto Bolofo. His ability to make any shot look natural gave me enthusiasm for my photography.
My images collectively show different relationships in people's lives. However, individually each photo has a different emotion. One shows peacefulness, one shows celebration, one shows intimacy and one shows happiness. Each of these emotions relates to love and hearts.
My aim for the images was for them to be spontaneous, therefore I took shots without people realising and took snap shots with myself in the photo, therefore not seeing what the photo was to look like.

Chosen images from this weekend.

I have chosen not to edit these images due to the fear that if they are over edited they will look staged. My images from the bonfire weekend have only been edited to add red and as these photos were taken with red already in them there was no need for them to be edited.

Editing in the red.

After experimenting with where the red should go on my images, I have decided to go with the more subtle approach. This is because I feel that the images are relaxed and therefore the red should not stand out and take away the attention from the photo.

Photos!

The idea of these images is that they show a natural intimate realtionship.

I took these photos without being able to see what the outcome would look like. This therefore made each photo have a flaw, whether it was lop sided or didn't show the whole image. However I think this adds to the spontaneity of the images.

I wanted the red in the photos to be very natural and not a massive focal point. Therefore I wore red tights and gave myself red lips, with a red lipstick mark on the boy.

The Photo's for this weekend.

The images in which I wish to create in order to show an intimate realtionship will be a close up of laughter. My boyfriend and I will both be in the photo. I will take the photo myself, holding my arm out. This will give the photo a naturalness, like my previous images.
I want the images to be spontaneous, like ones that get taken in a photo booth.
