Final Photography Project - Film Noir

This week in photography class, we began work on our final project which is a minute long photo essay. As a huge fan of film noir, I want this to be the basis for my essay.  We were asked to bring to class one photo showing the style we are looking to explore and below is my example:

Barbara Kruger Photography

This weeks photography brief asked us to create 3 posters in a similar style to the work of Barbara Kruger. She uses words and image to create often thought provoking posters a lot of the time through a conflict between the two elements. We teamed up in groups of two for this brief and my partner was Damien. Here is what we came up with:

Group Blog

Group Project Sketches

After a change in direction for our group project we as a group are sketching out our ideas at the moment. The idea is to create a 3D landscape using handcrafted methods. The ideas in my sketches are a city based on the work of Bomboland and Julien Vallee, a landscape based on Belfast and a landscape based on Times Square showing the contrast between digital and handcrafted methods. Below are my sketches.

PinHole Photography

Today I completed work for my photography brief this week - PinHole photography. We started the process on Thursday. As I had never done pinhole photography before this brief, I was basically learning how this process works the past few days. There is an element of luck involved in pinhole photography and overall I'm happy with my results from the past few days.
