Visions and Images: Arnold Newman, 1981

David Bailey - Clip 1-4

David bailey's work is mainly all portrait work with his models being in the studio. Most of his work is in black and white, based around the 1960's. I like the usage of light in the darkened images and how the model seems to be in control of what the image would look like.

None of his images are neat, models posing anyway they like. David allows them to take over while he takes a photo.

His work varies, like some times the background behind the model will be darker or lighter like the two examples of his work above and below. He allows the model to pose how they like, letting them choose which side or their face they like. His work is very relaxed and often tells a little story.

                             His photos are relaxed and his models show emotions like these two.

I like this image above because unlike other photos, the whole point of the image is to see the models face but in this image, Bailey has taken this image to tell us a story rather than just showing us the girls face. 

Terrell Suggs Fashion Shoot By Jason Christopher: Behind The Scenes

Nina Canacci Prom Dress Shoot By Jason Christopher Photography

This video shows Jason doing a shoot for prom dresses. You can see some of the equipment that Jason uses like the lights.

Jason Christopher

I really loved this video by Jason Christopher. Its shows how both Jason and the model talk to each other to get good images and this video also shows how the source of light changes. The darker it gets outside, the more studio lights are brought in. Also in this video, you can see a light monitor being used and a round mirror being placed in front of the model to reflect the light when it gets darker.

What i like about his work is that he uses his sources of light very well. In all of the images i have seen, he uses light effectively , even in dark photos like this.

You can see the use of light even though this is a dark image. The light reflects of one side of her face as you can see her skin colour is lighter on one side. Light is used very well in these other images as well. 

In this image above, i would imagine that flags have been used. Or two boards that have been placed beside the model on both sides. We have experimented with an image like this in the studio, also having a similar image like this that i took in the studio. My photo does the same thing as it does in this image, where the light reflects on the girl but also creates a centre of where the light is on the background ( the circle image of light)

  In this one, the source of light is very clear behind the woman. The background also clearly shows the light with how most places of it are darker than other places. What i like with this photo is that i like the way the model is posing. Away from the light rather that towards it.

This is one of the images from the photography shoot in the video. At this point, the light from outside is no longer there because it got darker but there is still some light on the model.

Tom Hunter talks to UEL about his work

Tom explains his work and gives viewers a few tips on how to go further into photography

London lights -- beauty in the works of the English artist Tom Hunter.

This is Tom hunter talking about his work. he talks about what he did and why he did it, sometimes telling us when he did them. He explains his work to give us an idea of what he had hoped to capture in his images as well as his art.

He has done a lot of work to help people, mainly through his work.

Animation evaluation

I really liked this part of the course, learning how to make a small animation using images and small objects. I liked piecing the photos together to make an animation. We used how the green screen worked in animations, that its used so we can put another image of a place or building in the background.

I like the stop frame photography the most even though it is something you have to be patient. I liked after it was all put together you got a small video made up of the images i had take.

If i could have changed things or done things better, i think i would have made some of my animations longer and thought more about where i was and what i was doing. I found that some of my animations were really short and i didn't like some of the places i did the animations. I could have thought about my work a bit more and more planning.

Animation requires a lot of time and patients but i have learned that to make an animation, you can use a lot of things. Like when we were in the studio, when we did the light photography, we used some of the images and turned it into a small animation. We also learned how to use everyday things like a child's toy. We used the green screen in the studio with an object in front of it so we could change the background image.

I was surprised with how many images you would need for an animation to be about a minute long because i learned that to make an animation, when you stitch them together, to make them go fast there needs to be between 6 and 12 frames per second.

So the more images you had, the longer you animation would be.
