Union: Photoshoot/contact sheet – George Blake

For the amount of Images I took, I find it will be to much of an investment of my time to sort through, rate and flag my images. It is for these reasons, I wish to only display my collection of images I produced into their allocated photoshoots to show the extent of my work.

Due to the images being intentionally blurry it is hard to assess which are either good or bad, with the majority of the images being ones that I would or wouldn’t use. For this reason I will instead just display my contact sheet images.

Due to the extent of images I took, and the Same factors of the images above, I chose these depending on what I thought looked unique and did not seem too similar to each other in appearance.

For my social realist images, I took these images in town, capturing the different environments and people as well as using a variety of camera angles and techniques to produce, what I find some interesting images. A small inclusion into this was some blurry photographs such as the intended ones above.

For these images, I decided to produce a mix of impressionist and social realist inspired images with both blurry and sharp outcomes. With the aim for these images to be turned into magazine pages, a mix of image types would create an impressive composition and show a variety in the mise-en-scene of the magazine.

Along side other images I produced that explored more-so into the fashion aspects of what union can define, I wanted to produce images about another subject I found can unite people, Music. With this shoot, It primarily focuses on music and how it can define identity, another subject I chose to explore Union’s definitions.

This shoot was also made to explore music, as within this shoot I chose to take pictures at Noirmont to recreate an album cover. However I also took some more photos to cover identity and fashion as spare images I could implement into my work.

Taking some photos down at the harbour, I wanted to produce some more blurred images as I felt I had become distracted by doing fashion-inspired social realist photos and wanted to bring a balance with some more work inspired by impressionism.
