Whittling Down

                I have produced a large amount of material from the shoots, too much to display here. Therefore I have edited the photographs down to the more practical number of 29 images, and created some contact sheets that show photos from all three of the shoots; hence the change in lighting, weather and of course the physical location of the shot. These images are those I feel have the most potential and would be happy to place in the finished installation. I have chosen this selection of images in particular because I think as a series of work, they provide a variety of eye catching angles, colours and subject matter; something I feel is important in this project as it is vital to grab the attention of a viewer and try to prolong their interest for as long as possible.

(It appears my contact sheets are compatible so here are some that I will defiantly be using in the exhibition.)

 

 

 

 

                 I have chosen some seascapes over others because I wanted to be able to take an element from the photograph and place it in the jar/bottle with it, for example with the image that has long grass in the bottom left corner, when I shot it I took a few blades of grass which I will then place inside the jar.

                It has been advised by my tutor to photograph more portraits of beach dwellers, and I agree that having more photographs to choose from would put me in a better position; however I am pleased by my progress and look forward to creating my prototypes, both the jar/bottle and the umbrella.
