Summer Project.

Introduction!


Over the summer we were given a project to complete. The project was to take photos for a competition.. the competition is to take photos of places of where you have visited for say.. a travel magazine. The competition has been created by The Independent and first prize is for commission, worth £3,000, from the publisher Insight Guides to take photographs for one of its guidebooks.


Misty Golden Gate by Steve McDonald who won first prize last year.  
















This summer I have visited a various amount of places. I took photos of when I went to Sheffield. I took the photos on film using my film camera. Some of the photos which I took didn't turn out very good because of the lighting in the hotel room which i stayed in was poor also some of the images were blured because i took them whilst I was in a moving car.

Im not using this as a final image, but i like this image as it shows what my summer was mostly about - road trips. The film which I used was Fuji film 200 colour, I am pleased with the film because I like the tone range and I also like how bright the colours are. This photo is of me sat in Ryan's car, Ryan is my best friend and we were heading home from our trip to Sheffield. 

This photo was taken on Fuji film 200 colour, this photo is of the view from a hotel room which i stayed at in Sheffield. I am pleased with this image because it is clear and I also like how everything is in line. I like the different colours and I think this photo works well in colour. 

This is a panoramic of an image which i took that i edited in photoshop. The original image was blurred at the bottom of the image because I was moving when i took the image. The back ground was in focus and clear so I cropped the image and it now looks like this. I really like this image because I like the different tones in the clouds and how they look 3D like. 









Aspirations...

I am so jealous of Terry Richardson. I found his work because I researched who took the photos of Joe Calderone (Lady GaGa's alter ego, 'male' model') photo shoot for Vogue Japan and I discovered that somebody called Terry Richardson had photographed her as a male and female. Lady GaGa is one of the most influential artist I have ever known, she has worked hard to achieve everything she has ever wanted. She aspires me to well and to work hard to get what I want to achieve. My ultimate achivement would to photograph Lady GaGa, I think the shoot would be magical and out of this world.
