For my first and second photoshoot I experimented with the time lapse technique to capture the movement in landscape. These two photoshoots were inspired by all three of the photographers that I researched. The time lapse technique was inspired by Dominic Boudreault and the idea of photographing landscape was inspired by both Tony Howell and Colin Roberts. I went to Saltford for the first two photoshoots as I wanted to use the same location but develop the idea by photographing a different subject matter. I didn't like these photoshoots as they didn't show much movement in time lapse photos and didn't show a detailed process of something happening. I improved the photos by focusing on a certain part of the landscape in the last four photoshoots and taking it out of the landscape to photograph it with a different background.
I included the idea of landscape in my work but focused on a certain part of the landscape to make it more abstract and show more meaning in the photograph. This idea was inspired after looking at the work of Tony Howell. His work also inspired me to use the composition and camera angles that I did throughout my photoshoots. The final photoshoot shows a fern leaf in the process of dying and the composition in this photoshoot was inspired by one of the photos I looked at by Tony Howell. The use if the black background was also inspired by his work.
In my fourth and fifth photoshoot I photographed a flower dying over a period of days which was inspired by Colin Roberts. I photographed a flower thorough out the day and night to show movement which was inspired by Colin Roberts's idea of photographing flowers at different times in the year.
I wanted my final piece to show the process of something happening that you wouldn't normally notice. After choosing to focus on landscape for this unit and researching the photographers I decided to bring landscape and time lapse together by photographing movement and processes in the landscape. I didn't like my first two photoshoots so developed my idea to focus on a certain part of the landscape such as a flower, plant or leaf etc. After experimenting I found that the natural process that takes place is the object dying which is a slow process in a flower or part of the landscape so it isn't usually seen when it happens.
My final piece and the six photoshoots that I completed were all inspired by the three photographers that I researched. Dominic Boudreault's time lapse photography videos of the city inspired me to use the time lapse technique in my work. I liked the idea of showing movement and processes taking place in my photos.
In my final photoshoot I photographed a fern leaf and the camera looks down on the leaf which captures the detail and texture of the leaf. It also showed the ends of the leaf curling up over a period of days. I edited one photo out of the six photos I used in my final piece using Photoshop. I edited the brightness and contrast of the photo as it was slightly brighter than the other five photos.
