For this task we were asked to photograph a blank piece of paper in 24 different ways without cutting or tearing the paper. We were allowed to only to fold, roll or crumple it and use coloured filtered lights if we desired. For my work I decided to use multiple filter lights or plain white stark lighting to create either a ombre effect of colour or intense shadows to produce a unique and intriguing photographs. I successfully managed to get detailed images with interesting shapes however to improve my work I would focus some of my photographs better.

In this task I was asked to recreate the work Edward Weston. To respond to his work I used a low iso of 100 to eliminate grain and a high aperture of f32 with the use of a tripod to achieve a focused and clear image. I used photoshop to ensure high contrast to enhance the texture of my subject and make it appear less mundane and give it new meaning and life.

For this task I attempted the same out of focus photography style as Jacobson. To achieve this I used tracing paper to give the blurred effect which gave the appearance of my model being both close but still seems like something is in between us.

In this task I was required to use different mirrors and glass inspired by the work of Blumenfeld. I used this glass with the intention of create a surreal look of beauty in 'another world' similar to the meanings behind his work. Although it is abstract you can still identify feminine features associated with beauty it is not presented in the traditional way; it is sliced up into pieces that may look strange but that you can piece together to see the beauty. I also increased the vibrancy and contrast to create an oil paining appearance as seen below to recreate his work 'untitled-1953' . If i were to improve my work I would make a pdf using the photographs with fluted glass to replicate his work 'beauty in motion'.

For this task I was asked to photograph parts of my school which involved shapes and shadows to create an abstract image similar to that of Johnny Kerr. I focused on areas with many straight lines that could be confused for a pattern or something out of reality, to do this I photogrpahed close up to my subject.

Before Editing- I used the 'polygonal lasso select' tool in photoshop to straighten the lines of the background, selected the colour using an eyedropper tool and then the paint bucket tool to fill the colour of the shape. This created a sharper effect with a more abstact look.

After Editing- To improve my work I would have used a paint brush to fill in any missing colour and imperfections such as the missing paint on the stairs in the first photograph and the rain drops on the window on the second photograph.
