Factual: For this photo i was inspired by Vee Speers. I took this photo and also created it.

Context: In this photo we used one prop and that was the scissors. I used this to show how you may feel if you are being bullied.

Technique: This picture was taken with a Fuji camera. This camera has made the photo come out really well because as i put the flash on, it makes Carley's face lighter and have a slight glow to it.


Aesthetic: When i took this photo i was focusing on an emotional topic that occurs a lot with teenagers and that was self harm. Self harm does affect a lot of people in the U.K and also in other countries as well. I wanted people to be aware that when people say things to other people it will make them feel down. I decided to write 'Fat, Ugly, Useless and go die' on Carley's face because this is sometimes why some teenagers may self harm because they have been made to feel useless and worthless so that's why i have decided to show this in the photo. There are many reasons why people may self harm but it is mainly because they get bullied and are called names, this is why they may feel like the only way our is to hurt themselves. I used the scissors in this photo as my prop because i didn't want to go to deep into the subject because it can be a very sensitive topic for some. By placing the scissors up to her neck it kind of makes us think that maybe she has had enough and want to just give up now. As you can see Carley is looking down to the floor, we can see the hurt and pain in her eyes, which makes us think that maybe she is trying to think of what she has got to live for.This photo fits into Vee Speers photos because even thought it is an emotional topic, the photograph is also disturbing in some way. This photo by far is the most powerful one out of all 3 of them, because if you look into it with a lot of care then you will see that there is more than one aspect it may be showing us. If you are looking at this from the viewers point of view, then you can see that this photo is trying to show a lot of emotion and pain and that maybe they will understand what's going on in the teenagers life to upset them that much.

Factual: This photo was also taken by me. I was inspired by Vee Speers.

Context: This photo is different to the first one. i just used Carley and a camera i didn't need any props.

Technique: This photo was also taken by my Fuji camera. I am glad my photo turned out like this. I turned all the lights off and shut the curtains to make it dark, and then we shone a light onto the wall so that it was positioned to create a shadow behind Carley.

Aesthetic: I really like this because it shows everyone what teenagers can really feel like. I was trying to make it look like a teenager who feels alone and doesn't know who to turn too for help. As this photo is in the dark i think it really portrays this. People may have different opinions on what this photo may be trying to tell us, but what i was trying to get across is that some teenagers are alone and the shadow behind says a lot about the photograph, it shows how sometimes they can feel shadowed by certain people who may be troubling them. I took this photo to show how some teenagers really feel and what might be running through their mind.

 Factual: This photo was taken by me. I was inspired by Vee  Speers.

 Context: This photo is created differently to any other I have taken before. I didn't need to use any props because we improvised by using face paint to make Carley look like a Zombie.

Technique: This photo was taken with a Fuji camera. I took it with this camera because it shows the picture in clear colour and makes it look sharp and detailed. I am really pleased with how this photo  turned out. They were taken in Carley's bed room in front of the clear wall with the flash on to make her look more like a zombie.

Aesthetic: I really like this photo because i think it fits in well with Vee Speers. It is her kind of style. I like this photo because it has a main focus to it and that is Carley 'The zombie' I think that even though this photo is quite simple you have to study it a lot to understand its true aspects. I took a photo like this because its near Halloween and by taking this photo, it fits into the theme and also Vee's photography of the 'birthday party' When you look at this photo you automatically think of it as scary as its to do with Halloween.

Summary of Vee Speers

Style: Vee Spears photographs are quite different to each one of her series. Some of her photos are elegant and sweet like her '' whereas some of her photos of other people are dark and dangerous like the 'immortal series' but they have some lighting in it to give it some effect. Some of her photos are in black and white to give some of her photographs a nice effect and vary her work.

Technique: I think that in most of her photographs she has taken the photo and then edited it on a good software. I think that most of her photos are taken in a studio with good lighting behind them. In some photographs she may of added a back drop after taking the photo of the model.

Narrative: In everyone of Annie's Photos, there is a story behind every photo. In the 'Birthay Party series' all the photos are bright and everyone is normally looking happy. The backgrounds are colorful and brings everything to life. In her photos she is re-creating inspirational and wants to make you think that it could mean many different things.

Composition- John Hedgecoe

•                                  

Composition on a photography can be very important. There are lots of different types of composition.

Description: composition means the  way in which the photograph is set out and there are different types of composition. It is the arrangement of elements and their relationships to the background of an image.
Rules of photo composition:

• The rule of thirds
• The golden section

Factual: This photo is by the famous photographer John Hedgecoe. He took this photo of Henry Moore.

Context: This photo is set in a studio. There isn't much in the room only Henry. He is standing in the place where your eye naturally spots first. As he is reaching up, it makes us want to see what he may be reaching to and the photo stands out even more. In this photo Henry isn't looking towards the camera, which as I said makes us think what he met be reaching to or what he might be able to see.

Technique: I think this photo was taken just in front of a plain black background. John obviously used an effect to make it black and white but he might not have because the photo was taken in 1967 so photos may of came out black and white naturally. The camera is facing down towards Henry Moore so Hedgecoe obviously wanted us to think maybe there was more to the photo than we think.

Aesthetics: I really like this photo because as it is black and white I think it gives us more to think about. As the camera is facing down towards him, it looks like he is reaching out to the photographer. In this photo even though it is plain I think it tells us a lot about how Henry was feeling and that he was trying to get something across to us. 

The rule of thirds:  The basic principles of the rule of  thirds is to image breaking an image down into thirds, so that you have 9 parts.  As shown below.




The theory of the Rule of thirds is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable the viewer to interact with the photo more naturally.

Lighting- Perou

The use of lighting in a photo can either decide whether the photo will be terrible or brilliant. Making lighting on a photo depends on how you use your camera. Your camera will use the built in light meter and measuring how much light is being reflected to the camera. If the lighting is totally wrong, then the photo may look completely wrong and the light might reflect off all the wrong places. However, as i said it can make a photo look brilliant but only if the light reflects of the right places and shines on to the correct places then you will get a spectacular photo.

This photo is a good example of lighting because the light shines right onto his face and makes a reflection onto the background behind.


Factual: Richard Armitage in December 2010, shot by Perou.

Context: This is a head and shoulder shot by British Fashion and music photographer Perou. His images much like this one has a strong sharpness about them, shot so that it records everything in the photo with sharp detail and crystal clear precision.


Technique: I think that this photo has been shot just in a studio with a white background. Richard has been put in plain clothing to make him blend in with the background. I think that Perou put quite a lot of lighting in front of him so that it made a shadow behind him.


Aesthetics: In this photo i really like the lighting in this photo because the light shines on him and creates a reflection onto the background. This shows us that the light has reflected of him and hasn't reached the background behind him. I also like this photo because colour is almost absent in the shot. A white background, a white shirt and black hair. The only colour in this photo is of the skin, the red lips and the blue eyes. This makes the lighting look even more spectacular on this model.
