This is my first shoot. The shoot show my first attempt at the use of filters, and using colours. I was attempting to create picture that I could edit colours into it or use 2 different colour filters. Which would enable me to blend and manipulate the pictures. This is how my artist James Welling took his pictures of the glass house, in colour. Although my lack of use of a trip-pod hindered the accuracy of the 2 different filter method as the 2 different colours didn't match up and I had to crop and move the pictures to position it before I could experiment with different colours.
Welling used his pictures to show off the architecture of the house and to add a spark to it by using the fliers, which is what I am aiming to achieve through the use of filters. The pictures were taken on a walk by the sea so I could get a mix of people and views, to see where I could lead onto after this shoot. I found that I should do something with a theme like my artist. This makes my work have a uniform look, which my initial shoot did not have.
The last 6 pictures on the bottom row of the contact sheet are my edits. They worked well considering my mistakes. My best edit was ‘red vs blue.jpeg’ which was one I used 2 different filters and blended them in photoshop.
I could have made the pictures better by using a tripod, and use more of a theme to then edit. Furthermore I should look at the colour wheel more and get the right blend of contrasting colours, trios and tetrad colours. This will improve my work by making sure that I have the correct colours in my work when editing and when using the filters to produce my next shoot.
In my next shoot I will focus more on taking picture that connect rather than a mix of different locations. I will also look into the colour wheel to gain a wider view on colours and how they work.
