Moreover, my favourite photo shoot from the pathway is that of the solids in liquids where I dropped a strawberry into a bowl of water and captured the effect as part of project; 'Opposites, Juxtaposition and Contradiction'. I think the reason that I like this shoot so much is because I feel that my final images have turned out really well and I was very pleased with how they looked, as I like the boldness of the colours and also the clarity of the photo as a whole.
Overall I feel that I have progressed throughout this stage by developing my ideas and also how I have found where my strengths lie within photography. The next stage within my work is to put to practise the skills that I have learnt throughout and continue to learn as I go into my 'Final Major Project'.
I am looking forward to beginning this project as it is the longest one that we have done and therefore I feel that I will work better with this time limit as I am able to let my ideas develop even further. The theme that I am looking to explore is that of 'Urban Decay', I hope to do this by looking at derelict buildings and also at objects associated within this topic, however I want to photograph these areas in a way that is less obvious in order for me to put my own twist on it. As part f this I would like to incorporate the use of a shallow depth of field which is one of the strengths I have found whilst doing this course, another skill of mine I hope to use is photographing found objects that not everyone will notice or think to look at. Some photographers that I am going to look at include; Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, Keith Arnatt and Eugene Atget, along with many more as I progress throughout the 7 weeks.
