here are my final images for the 'portrait of a place' assignment. this assignment was also my final project as a student at Reading College :)
for this assignment we were first asked to find and shoot 10 different locations. from our 10 chosen locations, we had to go back and shoot 3 locations of choice with a different approach. we had to use different technologies such as different cameras and shoot the locations from different vantage points, with different framing and just play around with the location. we then had to choose one location as our final location. for me, i chose my garden shed. the cameras i used were pinhole camera, 35mm analogue film, medium format film and digital. for my final shoot i used digital camera. i would have preferred to have shot my final images on film, as my main influence, photographer Uta Barth, shot her out of focus images on 35mm film, but as i only had access to processing black and white film, i stuck with digital as these images needed to be in colour to show their true detail. i chose to shoot my final images out of focus because i had just discovered the photographer Uta Barth, and i really admired her out of focus/blurred images. i found it interesting how even though the subjects of the images i studied were out of focus, i was still able to identify and make a connection with them. i also shot in out of focus because it relates back to my first project i did at the beginning of my time in Reading College last October - ::: mystery; familiar yet unfamiliar places ::: - and i thought this was a nice end to, not only my college life, but also to my time living in England.
my final images were created around 9th June 2015.
