6. Work Record 6

Work Record 6

Location - Sandown, Isle of Wight

Distortion method - Mirror

My Plan for Shoot 6 - 

In this shoot, I plan on experimenting with a curved mirror. I want to see what effect this has on my images and what it is different between the effect of the curved mirror compared to the rounded mirror.

Research influence - 

My research influence for this shoot would be Sebastian Magnani. His work really inspires me and his final images look simple, but great.

Contact sheets - 

AO3 - Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.

Sadly, I do not feel as if there is any images that are good enough The weather was not the best, strong winds and rain made the mirror very hard to stand up. the Strong winds even snapped the mirror in half. du to this the photographs are rushed and I don't think that this is a true reflection of my photography skills

AO2 - Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.

If I were to redo this shoot, I would plan on using a smaller, stronger mirror. I would also try and shoot on a sunnier, stiller day, as the weather that we encountered on this shoot was not very helpful.

AO1 - Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.

I think that the research on the photographers and other research that I did was helpful as it gave me the idea of experimenting with the different mirrors. Although this shoot did not work out the way in which I wanted, I am happy that I did it because it taught me that I need to pick and choose what days I am going to shoot and that if the weather is not perfect, then reschedule the shoot.

AO4 - Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
