Emulation 2 

The second emulation I'm going to try is by the photographer Louis Lander Deacon who uses colourful thrown dust to create a smash of morphing colours static in a shot giving mayhem and drama to a somewhat calm enviroment behind. I love the kaleidoscope of colours he creates and the way each photo is almost frozen in time, and also how parts of the face and body is covered which adds an eree mood.  

Experiment with colourful dust

Final image 

Overall this worked successful with the way the two halves contrast so vividly which mirrors my chaos and order theme with the splashes of exciting colour for chaos and the bare face symbolising the order.

Emulation 1 

For my first emulation I've decided to look at Brno Del Zou with her  photo sculptures, I love this collection he's made because each one joins together really effectively the way he positioned each different angle. I think it works well with my theme also because the layered images gives a distorted chaotic theme then on the other each individual photo is ordered. I will use the same technique and set out each photo in a similar way he has in the photo I choose. 

Final Piece

Overtall I like the whole composition and the way I laid it out as similarly as I could, I used photoshop to create the layered effect which was easier to get the right scale of each photo. I then made it monochrome to emulate the phtographers effect and found some exposed more then others as some photos faced the light then some against. 

  

Here i tried to play with the darkness and it changed the background colour also which wasn't quite right.

AV and TV 

This photo I've taken uses the AV mode which allows you to change the aperture whilst the camera changes the shutter speed. The effect overall gives a shallow depth of field, then shows all the finer detail of the flower and the delicate rain drops. I like the vibrant contrasting yellow and greens and like how it emphasis's on the flower then the background is blurred.

Focus Points 

In this photo I set the focus point to the centre so that this would be in focus then around the outside it would be blurred, overall it work fairly well as the detail in the middle is shown to develop this further i will try other points of focus and different settings.

HDR High Dynamic Range 

This was one of my first attempts of HDR which overall I think makes the whole thing look quite artificial and too exaggerated which is what its supposed to do. But on the other hand i do like the finer detail that comes out when you do this effect as it gives in depth texture which sometimes a camera doesn't show to its full.

Chaos & Order 

Kirsty Mitchell

This photo by Kirsty Mitchell reflects my chaos theme with the overgrown forest and the intertwining branches, the figure in the distance also shows order with the well dressed figure which gives a more serious and sole feel. 

Gursky 

This famous photo called Rhein links with my theme order by the way its made up of uniformed lines and a very simple scenery, it also has no distinct focus point which again shows order.  

Gerhard Richter

This artist uses an interest effect in this piece which looks like smuggled paint breaking up the photo which could show chaos with the running paint, the the buildings in the background can also show order how the are uniformed together created structure. 

Film Photography

This was one of my favourite film photographs I took becuase the shadows of the banches and tree stumps give an eerie mood. The trailing path adds depth to the photo as it makes the eye follow it.  There is also lots of natural shape and compotition with all the trees almost tangled together.
