Exam  work  

By  Shaun  Haney  

Erik  Johnson  On  first  look,  anyone  could  have  just  thought  that  this  was  a  photograph  of  this  fence/net  with  rusted  objects  aCached  to  it.  though  in  fact  it's  a  landscape  photograph  because  of  the  background  behind  the  fence  because  the  photograph  isn't  focused  on  the  fence  and  objects,  everything  in  frame  is  in  focus.  'UnGtled'  is  a  photograph  in  a  series  of  photographs  which  is  Gtled  'Borderlands'  that  Erik  did  during  2004.  In  this  series,  Erik  went  out  to  a  local  sea  shore  and  took  photographs  of  what  he  came  across  from  rocks  that  have  been  revealed  when  the  Gde  is  out  to  the  surrounding  landscape.  Although  this  photograph  on  it's  own  isn't  very  important  in  itself  I  believe  however  that  the  series  of  'Borderlands'  is  very  important  because  it  provides  the  viewer  what  Erik  saw  in  the  surrounding  environment  from  rock  formaGons  to  just  random  waste  leM  in  various  places.  Normally  people  would  just  take  photographs  of  the  environment  and  would  over  look  your  typical  liCer  that  is  leM  around.  

First  Set  of  photographs  

EvaluaGon  on  first  set  of  photo's:  My  intenGons  on  the  first  set  of  photographs  was  to  explore  different  aspects  of  the  environment  and  different  objects  that  are  around  in  the  surrounding  environment  whether  it  be  buildings  or  wreckage.  These  photos  are  ok  but  I  think  I  could  have  picked  more  interesGng  scenery  because  it  looks  a  bit  bland  really.  I  think  in  my  personal  opinion  on  the  photos  that  I  have  taken,  I  think  they  are  ok  but  I  think  I  could  have  taken  photos  of  more  debris  that  is  sGll  been  leM  there  to  have  shown  the  age  of  the  place  that  I  went  to  then  I  think  the  photos  would  have  been  beCer  in  my  opinion.  In  conclusion  I  think  I  have  got  my  starGng  point  with  the  exam  quesGon,  but  I  think  I  am  going  to  take  it  further  and  develop  it  more  and  add  something  into  the  photos  to  keep  to  the  brief  of  'Encounters,  experiences  and  meeGngs'  

Thierry  Le  Goues  ‘Glamazone’  On  first  glance  the  picture  is  quiet  eye  catching  because  it  shows  a  woman  who  is  bigger  than  the  telephone  poles.  The  way  that  arGst  has  done  this  is  to  give  a  sense  of  scale  compared  to  foreground  and  background  objects.  The  way  that  this  picture  has  been  done  is  by  adding  the  two  photographs  together  on  photoshop  then  then  making  the  figure  seem  there    by  erasing  or  masking  into  the  image  to  make  it  appear  there.    ‘UnGtled’  is  part  of  a  series  of  unknown  photographs  taken  by  Thierry  Le  Goues.    Although  this  photograph  alone  isn’t  important  I  think  that  the  series  of  photographs  that  it’s  part  of  is  important  because  I  like  the  way  it  gives  a  sense  of  scale  to  the  photographs.  In  normal  life  people  would  have  to  have  there  subject  in  the  background  and  stand  correctly  on  a  object  that  you  have  in  focus  to  give  a  sense  of  scale,  where  as  you  can  take  two  photos  and  then  add  them  in  photoshop  and  scale  them  to  how  you  want  them  to  be.
