UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- Best photos from each 3 contact sheets

Advertising:





























  • 2nd row, 4th Photo- I feel this photo fits the advertising photography category really well. For the reasons that it is simple and shows the purpose of the photo. It communicates across to the audience that the flowers are the main object here therefore they are advertising the flowers. The flowers are enhanced to make them look extra bright so they stand out against the bold grey carpet. The two textures of the soft flowers and the shaggy rough rug go well together as it draws attention to the flowers. This photo shows that it is advertising the flowers due to the colour contrast and the central placement.
  • 3rd row, 2nd Photo- I like this photo because it is focused on the main object getting the message across straight away. It is a nice photo because it doesn't have just a plain boring background, it has other beauty products and perfumes in the background but emphasises that the perfume with the crown on that is at the front is the perfume being advertised. It is a clear and bright image. The use of white and gold arn't distracting against the black and white background which is good as it makes the perfume stand out even more. The photo shows advertisement due to the up close focusing on just the perfume.
  • 4th row, 3rd photo- I like this photo because of the double image in it. This emphasises the main focus and object of the image and what is being advertised. When taking advertising photographs, the colour is really important and the more simple it is the more effective the photo is therefore i didn't choose to put in a background as this would distract the audiences attention from the image.


Documentary:


  • 3rd Photo- This photo stands out to me because of the dark sides and a bright light in the middle. You can tell this is documentary as the photographer hasn't arranged or changed anything to make this image, it can be interpreted in various different ways. This photo is really special as some could interpret it as being really scary, some can interpret it as being very emotional due to the holocaust, or some come interpret it as happy because you can see the light at the end. The photo shows documentary because of the dark and gloomy sight of the holocaust. It shows the holocaust in this photo due to the loneliness of the photo.
  • 2nd row, 4th Photo- I like this photo because it gives of a powerful message. It shows a couple of the people who died in the Holocaust. The photos carry on beyond the photo which reflects that there were millions of deaths in this event. The photos are in the centre of the image as they are the main focus of the image and there is no background as you shouldn't get distracted from the main focus. This fits into documentary photography really well because of the dark dull colours which reflects the event right and the positioning of the main focus.
  • 20th Photo- I like this photo because its in black and white which reflects the dullness and sadness of the event, the Holocaust. It is showing the train tracks of the trains which brought people who were about to die. This photo is extremely powerful as in the background, in the distance, in the centre of the image you can see the building where they went into the gas chambers to die. You can tell this is a documentary photo as nothing has been rearranged or set up, it is a photo of the tracks which millions of trains rode on to take people to die. This photo shows documentary well due to the fact its in black and white which reflects the mood of the photo and the way you can see the shape of the building in the background gives the photo a sinister feel to it.

Fine Art:


  • 1st Photo- I like this photo because it is very clear and bright and it fits into the fine art style well. The photo really emphasises the building and its special shape. The sky is all blue and covers nearly the top half of the image, this is how most Fine Art photographers plan to shoot their images using a background to cover the majority of the image and then the main image in the centre, left, right of the photo. This photo really fits in to the Fine Art photography category well which is why it is one of my favourites. When taking fine art photos i changed my camera to have the lines over the camera to make it easier to line the objects up with the line. This photo shows fine art due to the simple objects and shapes in the image as well as the placement of the building in relation to the sky.
  • 3rd row, 2nd Photo- I like this photo because it really fits into the fine art style. From my research I discovered that a lot of the photos are simple and use plain contemporary colours such as blue, black, grey, red, white etc. Therefore this photo incorporates those type of colours as well as the simplicity to the photo. The sky takes up half the photo and the ground and fields take up the other half. These are how the majority of fine art photos are lay out and look like. You can tell this is fine art because of the illusion of the split image of the sky and the fields and the simple colours contrast each other.
  • 20th Photo- I like this photo because it really portrays how high the mountain is, you can see the people that look like ants in various places on the mountain. I used the lines on my camera to create squares to place the sky in the top quarter of the page making it very simple as it is all blue. This image has simple and basic colours which makes it really like a fine art piece of work. The photo shows fine art due to the sky and mountains placement. It is showing nature which is highly photographed in the fine art category.
