Final!!!!!

Below is my final series for washing, the ritual.

I'm very happy with how my final series turned out. I think its visually appealing and portrays the idea of washing being a daunting and never ending task.

Artist Model- Domestic Photography

Laura Letinsky

I Did Not Remember I Had Forgotten & Morning and Menlancholia series.

Her work alludes to human presence without including any actual figures. I really like how this is similar to our brief of photographing a ritual.



I particularly like the shadows reflected from the objects in the photograph against the wall in the background.



This image shows the pre-presence of humans having being involved/present in the space shown. I found in all the messiness of the food left behind the photograph is extremely visually appealing and i really like it as a photograph.

This photograph reflects the presence of two people having eaten. I really like the deep red colour and the domestic idea portrayed through the photograph.

Martina Mullaney

Below is the series Dinner for One, these photographic images address loneliness through the decline of the daily evening meal.

Her work has a contemporary look and shows how less can be more.
This domestic photography also shows the ritual of eating, and traces of a human presence. Furthermore I really like these images as though the photographs there is an idea being shown not told.

I really like the lightening in the top three images, it gives the feel of loneliness and emptiness and makes you hold a certain emotion towards these photos.

This photograph gives off such an emotional feel, i love how the emotion has been shown and not told.

This simple yet effective layout has created a lovely composition to view. I really like the simplicity of it.

Once again the lighting in this photograph is really nice and greatly adds to the image. Also the simple composition used creates such a powerful image.

Willy Ronis- a french photographer

I love this image, the boy completing his ritual of cleansing combined with the tones and shadows creates a extremely visually appealing photograph.

Setting up images for printing

Steps for Printing Images

I've decided that I'm not going to mount my photographs and therefore will be putting a border around my photographs.......

1-Open up images through camera raw and into photoshop.

2-For each image go to image size and change resolution to 300dpi, then change the height to 11.5 (make sure constraint proportions is on and width will adjust appropriately).

3-Go to canvas size an make the height 12 and the width 8.

4-Save images as a TIFF so that they can be printed.

Printing Options

-WPS- Printing at 8x12= $6.95 (with a operator)

-Image Lab- Printing at 8x12= $15

Artist Model- Domestic Photography

Sian Bonnell

-is an established and widely respected UK photographer.

Sian Bonnell works with found objects and household articles; placing them out of context within the rural and coastal environment where she lives, as well as constructing imagined landscapes in the studio. These interventions are then photographed as documents not just of the object but of an event.

I really like how simple everyday domestic objects have been taken and have had a quirky little twist added to them.


Serving Suggestion







Kaput!
I really like this image, theres great depth of feild and the idea of the fork in the fan is extremely quirky and isn't apparent straight away.

Narrowing......

The following are the narrowed selection to which i'l be choosing one of the photograph's to complete my series, the ritual of washing.

Portrait!!!!

Pictures of the washing machine spinning the clothes in portrait!!

The below images are all actually alot better than the ones that i took in landscape and without a doubt fit in much more with the series.

I really like the photographs of the close up of the washing in the machine while spinning, the colors and distortion of the washing i find very visually appealing.

Editing task

I've put these into the editing category of direction of subject gaze and line composition of the angles.

These photographs i've put in the editing category of depth of field and focus on the foreground images.
