Finally! My long overdue post on my A-level work! I feel
like since it has been so long since I promised to post this I have now built
up this work into sounding like something astounding when in actuality it
really is just my first piece of work that I have completed that I am seriously
happy with.
Anyway for our exam piece we had to chose a theme and create
some artwork based on this theme, we could do a maximum of 5 photos. I chose to
do 5 photos and did a narrative based around the theme reading, For my photos I
had a little girl pose in a way that I would be able to make a composite and
have her placed on a smaller paper airplane. I shall post the pictures below:
I was trying to express how through books you could go on a
journey. I was focusing more on the adventurous genre of books with my piece. I
wanted to show how, despite feeling sure of a book, you may find that it
surprises you and changes dramatically. To represent this I had the little girl
hanging off a plant after accidentally crashing her small paper airplane,
despite the fact that she was able to fly smoothly for the whole of her trip.
To edit this piece I used the selective brush tool to select what I needed of
the girl and then with an eraser did some finer changes with a graphics tablet
to get a perfect cut-out. After this I
was then able to manipulate it or edit it as much as I wanted after placing the
cut-out on the paper airplane. There was not much else to do after this,
everything else is natural and original in this picture.
I must say at the time I was absolutely ecstatic after
finishing this piece. I definitely thought that this was the best piece I had
produced, until now. Looking back on these pictures I can see places where I
can improve on this picture and also my location, execution, theme, outfit
could all had more control applied to it. I am thinking of doing a series of miniaturised
pictures at some point in the future, to take what I have learned and apply
this to a new series. Hopefully this attempt will be a significant improvement
in comparison to my last attempt but we will have to just wait and see. Anyway
that is all for this blog post, I hope to do some food photography photos soon
so hopefully there will be a new experiment to share with you all soon, until
then I shall bid you all adieu!
