Ideas

  • Shooting objects out of focus
  • Under developed / Over developed
  • Multiple exposures
  • Light painting
  • Moving an object during an exposure
  • Have my hand in the exposure
  • Object at different heights (this should affect diffusion + soft edges)
  • Multiple light sources
  • Newspaper
  • Partial developer exposure
  • Dodging and burning

As a digital camera photographer, it’s easy to just apply those techniques onto these black and white prints - but I thought I’d have more fun by taking a step back to try more simple, but experimental methods to create prints

Sequence

  • Sequence of exposures to paint a single image (i.e. mountain)
    • Get image
    • Turn grey scale
    • Adjust colour
    • Split into layers
    • Stencils of the negatives
    • Apply per-layer exposures
  • Sequence of exposures in one (Day, night, rain, lightning)
  • Motion (i.e. something bouncing / spinning)

Ambience

We are shaped by what we see and encounter, not just by what happens to us

  • How a camera mediates, but also displaces the world
  • Analogue techniques
  • Contact printing
  • Bathing the paper in solutions taken from the site
  • Film camera superimposed on a camera
  • Level - getting lower to the ground
    • Things that are not level
  • Photo of something that is no longer - photo in a photo
  • Light
  • Deconstructed
  • Shadows splitting things
    • Carpark
  • Light shining towards camera

Blur

System based -

* Speed, aperture, bracketing, focus

Mirror

Identity

  • Long exposure of person inside crowd
    • At the front (face behind) (portrait)
    • Surrounded (facing in front) (landscape)
  • Carpark, person alone

- Fingerprint / signature / passport - denied

- Footprints on the sand….

Blind fold, or gaff tape, or a black cloth

  • Portrait with blind-fold
  • Behind the shoulder holding mirror facing face
  • Sillhoutte - dark on white circle on dark
  • Looking backwards
  • Hand in front of face looking up
