Connecting Essay 1

This is an image I found on the internet by someone by Louise Heathorn. I like this image because of the colour scheme, the same colour is used in every photograph which makes this multiple imagery photograph look as if the subject in all 9 of these photographs were all the same. I also like the composition in this image, you can tell all the photographs were all taken of the same subject, but as each image is at a different angle it shows off the different parts of the subject. Formal elements are used in this multiple imagery photograph such as depth and tone which gives the image a 3d effect.

This is a photograph that I took when shooting multiple imagery. I like this photograph because of the contrast in colours between the bright green grass and the bold autumn colours on the leaves. If I could make this multiple imagery photograph better I would change the composition on some of the images to make sure the space is used properly.

These pictures are clearly very similar because they are both multiple imagery images of leaves, I like the choice of colour in both of them even though they are quite different, this is because in the first photograph, all the images are the same colour which makes it look realistic, simplistic but still very effective. On the other hand, in the second image there is a great contrast in colours which makes the images look bold and it also makes it stand out. Furthermore, I prefer the composition in the first image because each individual image fills up the entire canvas which makes the picture look fuller, where as in the second photograph, some of the individual photographs do not have a very good composition as the space hasn't been filled well.

Research Log - Charlie Waite

I chose Charlie Waite's Photography because he used a wide variety of formal elements in his work, from colour to lines to tone. I really enjoy his photography because it is very colourful and bright.  Waite's uses a lot of pattern and shape in his photograph which makes his photography stand out among the rest.

I like this photograph a lot because of the way lines and colour are used. The converging lines that lead up to the focal point makes this image have a unique look to it. The complimentary colours in this photograph makes it pleasant to look at and the use of colours makes the image very pretty and colourful.

I bold orange colours in this image, makes it stand out. The rule of thirds composition give the image a more dynamic effect. Although there is a lot going on in this photograph, it doesn't look messy, this is because of the similar colours used and the patterns in the image are shown in layers.

This is probably my least favorite photograph because of the dull colours used, although the composition is very good as depth is used to show the entire subject of the image. I like the way the image is split in to two section; the sky and the field. 

In this photograph the colours make it stand out as the pretty, delicate colours draw the viewers attention to the image. Formal elements such as depth and reflection are used in this image. 

His photography influences me because of the range of formal elements he uses without ruining the images.

Overall, I really enjoy Charlie Waite's photography because of all the formal elements used and the photographs he captures are very artistic.
