Photoshoot 1 – France

I took these photos a few days after the exam paper way released. I started this photoshoot in a little village in Normandy, France. It was about 5pm when I started my walk and I planned on capturing the village before the night and during the night, using different photographic methods during each time period, for example, I experimented with long exposure once I got back into the village at night.

My purpose of this photoshoot was to capture interesting images of quite an uninteresting place. As well as unionising different things together, like light and dark, and natural and un-natural object.

Here is an example where I put together 2 images of the same house, with my edits below. The left image was taken at night, with a long exposure to make a blurry image, as it its like a memory of the image on the left. The image on the left was taken at night. I decided to create even more of of a contrast between these two images by having one in b&w and one in colour.

Here I put together the ‘colour’ of the image. I noticed while picking the best photos that the sunset is very similar to the colour of the truck so I placed them together. I think this does look a bit naf so I’ll try to find better examples as I continue looking though photos. I think this photo would look better with just the truck.

To edit the colour photo on the right of the truck I simply decreased the saturation for all colours except orange, Increased its luminance and increased the exposure a bit.

Here is another example of taking images during the evening and the night, but this time using mirrors.

I quite like this image as it really reminds me of a blurred dream. This image makes the viewer think this bench has some meaning, and is fading away slowly. My edit is above.

Above I montaged together images of electricity polls and trees.

Above are some other photos I like and might further edit with in photoshop. One editing process I’m thinking of is multi exposure, as well as placing subjects or objects in parts of the image that doesn’t make sense. This will allow me to link these images to the surrealist movement.
