Task 12- Regenerating My Clarified Ideas in New Work

Photos I used in the first part of my folio






Here you can see i used the artist model of Eadweard Muybridge 



 I used the artist model of Geraldine Lamanna with the chalk I thought it gave a good sense of movement and you know by looking at the photo that the hands are moving.


 As you can see in my contact sheet, i would be able to make a series piece of work like Eadweard Muybridge, and I will continue to use these artists as inspiration for my work.
Contact sheet for my new work.

This was my final image, i used the artist model of Jesus Chapa-Malacara

My Top 5 Best Photos

This photo shows the form of the gymnast and shows shape
I could take this photo from a different angle to make this photo look more abstract as this is a very simple photo how it is. Or i could put and effect or filter on it.

This photo has front lighting which helps to show the muscle tone of the gymnast
In this photo i could make it more close up which would really make her muscle tone stand out even more. I really like the lighting in the photo though.

This is a birds eye view of my gymnasts doing the splits
I could make it so the ground in this photo is darker so it is more contrasted and the gymnast stands out


I used a slow shutter speed on my camera to show the movement of a front walkover 
I think to improve this photo i  could use a plainer background where there are no gaps in the curtain and i could use different lighting so it is only focused on the gymnast and less on the background.


I used a fast shutter speed to capture the form of a straddle jump
I really really like the lighting in this photo and i think the spot light really works for this photo and helps the gymnast stand out. What I could change is the background again and without having the ruffles in the curtain have a flat background so our eyes aren't distracted by anything.
*None of these photos are edited
