unit 30 task 1b- research

this is an urban photograph,Sven Fennema did this photo, just the whole look of the room makes it look old and the furniture looks old fashioned so it links to the idea of time.
the pastors chair

This is another urban photograph, this time taken by Ric Camacho, the building looks and it is showing what can happen to buildings over time such as being vandalised and being worn down.

This image was done by lou bueno, it represents time because of the time of day, which is either sunset or sunrise.
Brookyln Bridge, New York at sunset

this image was taken by Dan Bannister, the image of the Colosseum represents time because the Colosseum is old and the the time of day also represents time.



The main common characteristics in location photography is that all the pictures are shot not in a studio which is what location photography is, it can be shot anywhere at all but the lighting is different on some pictures compared to others.

Task 1A TIME.

This technique is called double exposure, double exposure is the repeated exposure of a photographic plate or film to light, often producing ghost images.


Another technique is called  burning negatives. it is done by burning the negatives or the picture that was made.

Sandwiching negatives is as technique that ends up looking very similar but it is created in a different way,it is created by putting two negatives or slide into the film carrier of the enlarger and printing it on one piece of paper  


Painting with developer is a technique where you expose your chosen photo then before putting it into the developer you get a paintbrush and dip it into developer and paint over your exposed picture.


Solarization is a technique where it creates the effect of almost inverting the colours or in my case the black and white, you can do this by exposing your image then you put it in the developer but as it starts to develop you take it out and expose it again under light.


The next technique is called baseboard distortion, this is made when you expose your image you move the baseboard around or on its side and it creates a curved or blurry effect on your photo.

Scratching negatives is a technique where you put scratches preferably with a needle or pin onto the negatives and it makes white scratch marks on the photos just another way of experimenting with your negatives.
adding textures in the darkroom is created by doing as normal but when the paper is ready to be exposed upon you put a texture over the top of it preferably a translucent texture so you can see the original image as well as the texture. (i couldn't find an image for this)




A photogram is a simple image created by placing objects onto a sheet of photographic paper, and exposing the paper to light. 

Distressing a negative can be many different things and doesn't have to involve the darkroom at all, it is mainly just about destroying and ruining your negatives to use it as an effect, some include standing on them, use sandpaper on the, bend and twist them about just anything to ruin them a bit.

Research unit 4

Cybercrime work research 1.

This photo is representing weather, the raindrops on the grass shows that it was raining during the time it was shot, its not the best photo to represent weather as you could get more obvious photos but it still shows what it is.









This photo is meant to be representing 'fast' the car obviously moves quite fast, but i didn't have the right setting on so it does look too effective, i think using the right setting it would be a much more effective and would show what it is meaning.






this is representing happy, it isn't the best picture of happy and it could definitely be improved, maybe a different person as he's only really happy because of the money. its not particularly showing the happiness.








this representing empty, it is quite a dark place but it is lit up in this from the flash off the camera, i think i could have done better for representing empty.

80s Fashion
1980's fashion had heavy emphasis on expensive clothes and fashion accessories. Apparel tended to be very bright and vivid in appearance. Women expressed an image of wealth and success through shiny costume jewelry, such as large faux-gold earrings, pearl necklaces, and clothing covered with sequins and diamonds. Punk fashion began as a reaction against both the hippie movement of the past decades and the materialist values of the current decade. Hair in the 1980s was typically big, curly, bouffant and heavily styled. Television shows such as Dynasty helped popularize the high volume bouffant and glamorous image associated with it. Women from the 1980s wore bright, heavy makeup. Everyday fashion in the '80s consisted of light-colored lips, dark and thick eyelashes, and pink or light blue rouge
