Research guidance
This document provides guidance for a photography analysis assignment involving researching and analyzing the conceptual influences of two photographers. It outlines the required sections and content for the analysis:
1. Conceptual Practice - Research the purpose, meaning, context, and genre of the photographer's body of work. Conduct additional research on issues discussed in the concepts.
2. Extracting the Concept (2 images) - Analyze how two images reflect the overall concept through location, body language, lighting, expressions, props, subjects, and context.
3. Photographic Technique (1 image) - Investigate and justify the photographer's use of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lighting techniques, and compositional elements like vantage point

1. initial plans
This document outlines Joshua Blakeley's initial plans for a project, including a mind map, mood board analysis, and informal proposal. The mood board analysis notes repetition in colors, styles, and tones in the collected images and how it will influence experimentation and variety in the final product. The informal proposal identifies four types of conceptual photography - bokeh, minimalist, seafront, and depth perception - that will be created, along with the necessary equipment, knowledge, and intended audience. Discounted ideas of t-shirt designs and pixel art are explained as overused, lacking creativity, and not broadening skills.
Assignment 1: Rule of Thirds
This document discusses the rule of thirds in photography composition. It explains that the rule of thirds involves imagining two horizontal and two vertical lines dividing the frame and placing subjects along those lines or their intersections. It advises photographers to consider where they are intentionally placing points of interest in the frame. For an assignment, students must take 50 new photos over five days that demonstrate good use of composition and the rule of thirds.
Composition and the rule of thirds
The document discusses the rule of thirds in composition. The rule of thirds involves dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically, creating nine equal sections. Placing subjects or key elements of a photo at the intersections of these lines can create a more balanced and appealing composition. The rule of thirds has a long history in art and is commonly used in photography, filmmaking, and other visual media because it follows conventions that audiences have come to expect. Examples are provided of tasks applying the rule of thirds to photo editing and storyboarding portrait shots for a newspaper.
Critique powerpoint photo
There are three basic questions to ask when critiquing a photo: what is good, what is not good, and how it could be better. Four factors determine a photo's quality: value, clarity, composition, and presentation. Value refers to the range of light and contrast in the photo. Clarity depends on proper focus - whether the subject and edges are sharply or softly focused.
Seeing in B&W
1) The document discusses techniques for visualizing and shooting photography in black and white. It emphasizes previsualizing how a scene or subject will look in black and white before taking the photo.
2) It recommends thinking like an artist with a limited color palette and moving away from cliches to develop a unique personal style.
3) Key aspects to focus on include lines, textures, shapes, tonality, contrast, and use of space within the frame. Manipulating these elements can imbue black and white photos with deeper meaning and emotional impact.
Francesca torsiello howtocritique
The document provides instructions on how to critique a photo by examining its strengths and weaknesses, commenting on the exposure, focusing on whether the photo is in or out of focus, determining if the photographer conveys their intended message, and noting the positioning of the subject. It also includes three sample critiques that evaluate the subjects, lighting, focus, creativity, and composition of different photos.
Critiquing Photographs
Critiquing a photo involves evaluating several key elements:
1) Value - The range of light and contrast between dark and light elements
2) Clarity - Correct focus and delineation of the center of interest
3) Composition - Placement of the point of interest within the frame and use of lines
4) Presentation - Scratches, cropping, and overall final presentation
When critiquing, ask what is good/not good about the photo and how it could be improved. Consider multiple photos to compare techniques. Separate likes from dislikes to judge photos equally.
1b Representation suggested essay plan
In their A2 coursework production, the author created representations of gender, class, and location in their British soap opera. Specifically, they constructed gender performances of femininity through female character archetypes like "the tart" and "the gossip" that related to each other in supportive or combative ways. They also created representations of working class masculinity through male character archetypes like "the villain" and "the hero." The author analyzes how these representations may be received by the audience based on media theories like gender performance theory, audience reception theory, and mirror theory. They consider whether the audience may identify with or reject the various representations presented to them. In conclusion, the author reflects on whether their work presented a variety of
Analysing Visual Images in Media Texts
The document discusses techniques for analyzing visual images, including photographs, illustrations, and computer manipulated images. It covers various photographic elements and techniques like shot size, angle, composition, framing, contrast, lighting, focus, shutter speed, and aperture. It also discusses how photographs and illustrations can be used to convey different meanings and styles, such as gritty realism, surrealism, spectacle, fantasy, humor, intertextuality, and appeals to childhood nostalgia or parents. Finally, it notes that visual images often rely on techniques like intertextuality, parody, pastiche, and bricolage to communicate on multiple levels, as seen in postmodern visual examples.
