3^rd Year Photography Brief

 

The four images I took for my photography project deal with the elements of the natural world through the use of line, tone, texture and pattern.  These four things are found in all walks of life, however my studio practice deals with symbolism in the natural world.  So I stuck with things nature had to offer around my home in Co. Clare.

 

This project is just about me getting used to the medium of photography.  I captured my images both outside in the open environment and in the photo studio.  I was amazed at how  everyday objects could look like something completely different with a few small tweaks with lighting and photoshop.

 

Overall, I’ve learned a lot about exposure, shutter speed, focusing on my subject as well as aperture and the photo studio.  I’ve come to the conclusion that photography is a useful tool for not only documentation but also creating interesting open ended and thought provoking artwork.
