1.  Natural  (Forests/woods)  

Josef  Stuefer   Taking  nature  which  hasn’t  been  disturbed  or  only  a  small  amount  and  showing  it  to  the  viewer  that  the  surrounding  environment  is  quiet  beau&ful.

2.  Urban  (Towns/Ci&es)  

Guillaume  Gaudet  Taking  pictures  of  developed  ci&es  and  towns  in  day&me  or  nighNme  to  capture  how  life  goes  on  in  the  city/town  during  different  &mes  of  the  day.

3.  Inside  of  computer  parts    

To  show  the  viewer  the  inner  workings  of  a  computer  and  showing  the  parts  and  components  that  it  contains  in  interes&ng  and  eye  catching  ways.

4.  Maps/Journeys  

To  take  a  series  of  photographs  of  maps  to  show  certain  loca&ons  of  par&cular  interest  to  show  the  viewer  a  par&cular  town/city/route  to  the  reader,  but  place  the  map  on  car  to  show  a  sense  of  being  lost.

5.  Travel  

To  give  a  sense  of  movement  to  the  photos  when  sat  in  a  train  carriage,  with  mo&on  blur  of  passing  buildings  and  pylons  to  show  the  viewer  a  sense  of  Direc&on.

David  Bradford  

On  first  look  of  the  photographers  work,  any  normal  viewer  of  these  photos  can  think  that  these  photos  were  taken  in  the  front  seat  of  a  car  whilst  the  person  was  driving  with  an  old  film  camera  because  of  the  fact  that  the  image  is  in  black  and  white  or  that  the  images  where  taken  with  a  photographers  camera  and  then  edited  to  make  it  black  and  white.  But  the  viewer  does  not  know  why  David  Bradford  has  taken  these  images  in  this  way  or  why  for  the  fact  is  he  taking  pictures  whilst  he  is  driving.  These  photos  are  part  of  a  photograph  series  called  ‘Drive  by  shoo&ngs’  that  David  started  in  2005  in  this  series  it  is  taken  in  the  perspec&ve  of  the  driver/photographer  himself  showing  his  daily  life  as  a  taxi  driver  around  New  York  city,  showing  his  routes  he  takes  and  how  busy  the  roads  get  whilst  he  is  driving.  They  are  in  this  style  to  reflect  that  his  life  is  the  same  dull  rou&ne  and  that  he  dislikes  his  job?  Although  these  photographs  themselves  aren’t  very  important  on  their  own,  but  the  whole  series  itself  is  important  because  it  is  showing  a  variety  of  different  experimenta&ons  of  photos  within  a  vehicle  and  many  different  loca&ons  where  he  drives  for  his  taxi  service  that  he  works  for.

First  idea  photos

Strongest  photo  set  1  

I  found  this  photo  to  be  the  strongest  from  the  first  set  because  I  like  how  I  captured  the  traffic  whilst  in  the  car  wai&ng  to  move,  it  shows  everyday  life  and  travel  going  to  and  from  work  or  going  from  point  A  to  point  B.  However  I  plan  to  move  away  from  this  idea  and  want  to  try  taking  photos  of  something's  inner  workings  say  a  video  game  controller  or  a  dismantled  computer.

On  first  look  of  this  ar&sts  work,  any  normal  viewer  can  say  that  they  have  made  a  pain&ng  and  then  aaached  a  number  of  components  to  the  image  to  make  them  stand  out  from  the  picture.  But  what  they  don’t  know  is  that  this  is  not  a  pain&ng,  but  instead  it  is  a  collage  of  many  different  pieces  of  a  computer.  And  that  they  have  taken  these  components  from  just  finding  them  and  then  placing  them  accordingly  into  place  to  make  the  whole  image.  These  photos  or  collages  are  pieces  that  have  been  put  together  to  make  a  bigger  image,  with  this  in  mind,  this  ar&st  has  made  a  series  in  this  style  of  work.  These  collages  are  to  represent  that  even  with  pieces  that  are  part  of  things  that  you  use  everyday  in  a  number  of  different  places.  Although  these  photo’s  alone  are  what  I  am  trying  to  work  toward  I  feel  as  if  it  is  a  star&ng  point  and  could  possibly  work  with  found  components  of  a  computer  to  show  them  in  a  different  perspec&ve  as  if  they  can  look  like  something  that  we  see  everyday  and  eye  catching.

Doug  Chase  

Using  found,  and  unused  computer  parts  and  components  Doug  Chase  makes  furniture  and  other  objects  out  of  these  parts  that  he  has  found  to  make  these  items.

2-­‐roses  ‘High  tech  fusion’  

Explores  the  boundaries  between  jeweler,  art  and  fantasy.  Fuses  electronic  and  computer  parts  with  personal  adornment.  Rejec&ng  the  tradi&onal  approach  of  jewelry  using  found  objects.

Second  idea  photos

Strongest  photo  of  set  2  

I  found  this  photo  the  strongest  out  of  the  second  set  because  the  components  look  like  small  city  buildings,  and  the  white  bordering  and  test  are  like  a  street  map  with  the  buildings  around  the  components  on  motherboard.  However,  I  am  planning  to  change  my  idea  for  my  final  exam  work  to  actually  taking  photos  of  the  city  because  I  want  to  try  taking  photos  of  buildings  and  try  it  at  night  to  get  a  number  of  photos  to  experiment  with  levels  of  light  and  to  take  photos  in  numerous  different  spots  around  London.

Third  idea  ar&sts  

Brian  Kelly  Brassai  

These  ar&sts  can  be  related  to  the  work  I  propose  to  do  because  it  reflects  on  the  ‘Outside’  aspect  of  the  ques&on  of  ‘Inside,  outside  and  In-­‐between’

Exam  Evalua&on  Some  ini&al  star&ng  points  for  my  exam  work  for  the  theme  ‘Inside,  outside  and  in-­‐between’  where  I  took  each  phrase  of  the  theme  and  developed  ideas  around  them.  My  subjec&ve  frame  for  my  photos  for  the  phrases  in  the  exam  was  to  think  of  everyday  places  and  items  to  express  the  phrases  in  the  ques&on.  A  new  and  interes&ng  idea  I  decided  to  take  photos  was  in  a  moving  car  and  take  photos  whilst  on  the  move.  This  idea  it  was  a  mixture  of  all  three  themes  but  more  in-­‐between  because  you  are  inside  a  car  which  is  then  outside  in  the  world.  I  think  that  my  ini&al  photographs  were  effec&ve  because  I  was  explain  different  parts  of  the  ques&on,  my  first  being  ‘In-­‐between’  and  then  ‘Inside’.  With  these  photos  for  these  categories,  I  see  them  as  effec&ve  in  the  way  they  represent  those  parts  of  the  ques&on.  Although  I  found  my  second  set  ‘Inside’  to  be  more  effec&ve  because  I  had  a  more  clear  idea  of  what  I  wanted  to  achieve,  where  as  the  first  set  ‘In-­‐between’  was  weaker  because  I  didn’t  know  what  I  wanted  to  capture.  I  developed  from  the  first  idea  to  the  second  because  the  first  idea  I  was  unsure  of  what  I  wanted  to  capture  so  I  decided  to  move  on  to  something  which  I  thought  I  could  capture  more  effec&vely  which  I  did  in  my  opinion  and  I  am  more  happier  with  my  second  set  than  my  first  idea.  But  then  I  decided  to  go  in  the  other  side  of  the  ques&on  I  didn’t  explore  ‘Outside’  so  I  thought  I  could  use  that  part  of  the  ques&on  in  my  exam  final,  but  the  second  set  got  me  thinking,  because  the  electrical  components  looked  like  a  city,  and  that  is  where  I  took  the  idea  of  ‘Outside’  and  then  put  it  into  the  final  outcomes.  I  think  my  photographs  where  effec&ve  because  the  two  ar&sts  I  researched  David  Bradford  and  Doug  Chase  influenced  me  to  look  at  all  parts  of  the  exam  ques&on,  David  Bradford  for  In-­‐between  and  Doug  Chase  for  Inside.  With  these  ar&sts  in  mind  I  experimented  in  their  style  before  my  final  set  of  photographs.  With  the  set’s  before  the  final  set.  It  narrowed  down  my  ideas  toward  what  I  wanted  to  explore,  and  thus  I  explored  the  part  of  the  ques&on  ‘Outside’.  

Page 22: Exam prep work and outcomes

Each  set  of  photographs  for  this  project  was  an  experiment  in  it’s  own  way.  Because  I  was  trying  all  different  aspects  of  the  ques&on  first  being  ‘In-­‐between’,  then  ‘Inside’  and  finally  ‘Outside.  With  the  ar&sts  in  mind  it  helped  me  structure  my  ideas  for  the  final  exam  piece  that  I  would  formulate.  I  am  very  pleased  with  my  results  for  my  exam  in  the  &me  that  I  was  given  to  me  to  produce  the  final  outcomes.  Some  of  my  photographs  were  in  the  style  of  Brian  Kelly  with  the  black  and  white  toned  photographs  which  I  decided  to  use  his  style  of  work  to  give  variety  between  colour  and  Black  and  white  to  make  it  visually  appealing  to  the  viewer.  If  I  was  to  have  more  &me  I  would  have  incorporated  more  arts  to  my  final  outcomes  to  have  more  variety  for  the  blurb  book  I  was  crea&ng.  With  this  in  mind  in  my  opinion  it  would  of  largely  improved  my  outcomes  and  give  beaer  variety.
