The document proposes taking photographs using different experimental photography techniques to create a single image showing the progression of moods throughout a day using a time-lapse of half faces displaying different emotions. It also suggests showing progression from baby to old age. Ideas proposed include using burst mode photography to capture a chemical reaction and using reflection photography in York to capture the city lights at night with a blurred background.

4. The main style behind this photo is to
show reflection. Your eyes are
immediately drawn to each of the
strong bright coloured lights. Most city
imagery is boring but this shows a
difference to most other cities as the
use reflecting panels to show off the
variety of colours featured a
comparison between somewhere like
this and York would show York to be
dull although more of a historic city.
The style of this photograph is to
show the different seasons through
each year. Taking the exact photo at
each different season allows you to
collage together this sort of image.
Making sure you have the tree exactly
centre and taking from the same spot
each time is very important in order to
succeed.
This long exposure was done with
this specific view in mind by
choosing this location to shoot
from allowed them to see each of
the different curves to the bottom
of the canyon. Also with it being in
such a dark area the lights
traveling along the road brightens
it up and the illumination and the
bottom gives the image a sense of
direction from following the light
trails.
This photograph was taken with burst
mode (shooting the same photo
repeatedly in a matter of seconds) and
then layering the photos on top of
each other to get the final image to
look like this. The placement of the
sun makes the rider looking like a
silhouette on the picture.

5. Idea Generation
•

•
(Time Lapse) - The first idea I have for creating my own image is to take a
photograph of myself at different intervals at different stages of the day. After
doing so add each layer on top of each other and have one image at the back and
fade them all into the back so that each emotion is caught through each picture
and will see a variety and tell the difference between moods during a standard
day.
(Photo Mosaic) - A different idea is to have as many photos of me from as a young
child to now and then make a collage of all the images so that I could then make a
big picture of me now out of all the small ones. For this though I might have to use
a website that makes it for you in order to have all the different shadows and
colours on your face just right.
(Burst Photography) – For this I would take a repeated amount of photos from the
same spot in order to get the same picture and so I could catch the reaction to
happen as I want to make a chemical reaction of some sort and catch things that
happen even that the human eye cant see.
(Reflection) – I want to take a photograph from within York looking over the river
on a night to have the reflection of the bright lights from the city centre, wanting
to use other forms of experimental photography such as blur as it can ad to the
effect of the overall image. Having still water would make this image looking even
better if that’s what's in focus so that the back ground is slightly blurred.

6. Proposal – To Now (Not using)
• For my final Photograph that I take I want to be using a selection of
old photos of me from growing up to a final picture of me showing
the development of me. Starting from a baby having pictures of my
face slowly building up to present day with I would have as the last
layer on top of them all. For this I would just be using pictures that
would already of been taken and so would need to edit them in
order for them to be referred to as experimental photography. I
would scan in a variety of different imagery but all with my face
straight at the camera in order for me to have my face in age order
to show the differences at different intervals of my life. The theme
for this part was to look at discovery and to me this style of imagery
although might not be completely be photography can be seen as
experimental as I am showing change with myself which I see as self
discovery because over the years each and every person must do
this and will find out who they are. In order to create this I would
need the use of computers around college in order to edit these
with the use of Photoshop.

7. - Shimmering Nights
• For this photograph that I want to take I was to use a variety of
different types of experimental photography, I want to use
reflection from a river but to get a good reflection I need for it to be
perfectly still to make it look as close as possible to a mirrored
affect but then have all this centered to have the edges all blurred
so would have to focus it all myself in order to get the right affect
using a DSLR and so will take the photograph I intend to take. Using
a variety of different techniques will show off what experimental
photography can do to an image and how it changes from if you
were just going to take a picture normally. Ill need the use of a
tripod in order to keep the camera steady and will also be relying
on the weather a lot in order to get the shot I want with the stars
bouncing of the river to. Once I have the correct photograph that I
feel is right I would then look at editing the image but keeping the
original just incase that editing doesn’t make the image look any
better.

8. New Proposal
•
The theme I am choosing to do for experimental photography is ‘Discovering
Paradise’, The idea behind this is to create a picture using something that is made
from something that’s real and make it what’s to good to be true. Could be the
view using differently techniques used a lot within this type of photography. Taking
the right photographs is varied a lot on the weather as that what I need to have
right in order to achieve what I want without having to edit anywhere near as
much as what I should if I didn't have stars out, because having the reflection of
starry night is key in order for the getting the right amount of blur and the best
reflection possible and so will need for the water to be still at possible so that its
clear and not blurred the centred part of the image. But then I might use different
times of the day to show off a form of ‘paradise’ as it can show different sorts of
beauty off. Although I could incorporate different pictures together as this isn’t
going to be showing reality it’ll be showing something that only people would or
could imagine. All the photographs that I take will be still shots but I have the use
of a camera that’s easily accessible to me in order to get the photographs I need
and then could possibly piece ones together to get what pictures I want.
