Assessment Task

My World PART A

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. — Ansel Adams

Photographers develop their own visual vocabulary to help them record and communicate what they see in the world around them. By using selected photographic equipment and applying their preferred techniques, they develop their own unique styles. Task instructions

You will produce a total of three personal and creative photographic images in response to the theme of ‘My World’. You will begin by choosing ONE photographic GENRE for your work from the following list of options: Portraiture

Still life

Landscape

Urban environment The images that you create must have a clear photographic STYLE. You will choose any ONE of the following styles: Pictorialism

Romanticism

Social realism

High key and Low key

Composition and Light Use your chosen genre and style to develop ONE set of images (a total of THREE images) which demonstrate your ability to communicate your interpretation of the theme of ‘My World’. When developing your photographic work and images you will demonstrate your skill in applying creative techniques through manipulation of camera controls and use of photographic equipment and/or in post-production using computer software, as appropriate.

You will evaluate the overall success of your THREE photographic images, identifying at least one strength and at least one opportunity for improvement in your work, before presenting all of your work for assessment in an appropriate

format, as agreed with your assessor.

‘My World’

‘My World’ Part A

Genre =Landscape Style =Composition and Light

First Photographer

Name Ansel Adams The first photographer I would like to study is Ansel Adams. Ansel Adams was a photographer and

environmentalist born in San Francisco, California in 1902 in February. When Adam was only five his family

fortune collapsed in the financial panic of 1907 and from then on Adams father spent the rest of his life trying to

recover. Adam was an only child and was born when his mother was nearly forty. As his parent were relatively

elderly, his family had a wealthy history and his life in the company of his auntie along with his aged father, all

contributed to building an environment that was old fashioned socially and emotionally conservative. As Ansel’s

mother spent a lot of time moaning about her husband being unable to restore the family fortunes, this left an

emotional scar on Adam which could possibly be an influence of Adams later work as a photographer. Adams

father encouraged and supported his son his whole life.

In school Adam had problems fitting in, later in life he claimed that he might have been diagnosed as

hyperactive along with the possibility that he suffered from dyslexia. In the schools he attended he was not

successful so ended up being home schooled by his father and aunt. He accomplish what he called a

‘legitimizing diploma’. The most important result of Adams childhood is the joy and fascination he found in

nature.

The Sierra Club was vital to Adams early success as a photographer. His first published photographs appeared

in the club’s 1922 Bulletin and he had his first one man exhibition in 1928 at the clubs San Francisco

headquarters. By 1934 Adams had been elected to the clubs board of directors and was well established as both

the artist of the Sierra Nevada and the defender of Yosemite.

1927 was the pivotal year of Adams life. He made his first fully visualized photograph, ‘Monolith, the Face of

Half Dome’, and took his first High Trip, an event where you camp and travel to different beautiful locations

each day. Importantly, at this time Adams came under the influence of Albert M.Bender, a San Francisco patron

of arts and artists. Within the days they met, Bender started the preparation and publication of Adams first

portfolio ‘Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras’. Benders friendship, encouragement and financial support

changed Adams life dramatically. His creative energy and ability as a photographer developed and he began to

have the confidence to pursue his dreams.

Analysis: This photograph by Ansel Adams is the roots of a tree in

Honolulu that he has manipulates to look more unnatural and

intense than beautiful in nature. The most important aspect to me of

the image is how he successfully using line and shape to create

almost imaginary movement with the roots of the tree slithering

down the image, influencing an unsettling atmosphere. The lighting

contributes to this effect as the highlights it creates makes the tree

branches look more like snakes rather than the bottom of a tree. To

also contribute to the effect of the tree looking unnatural, Adams

has kept the tones black and white which also strips away the

knowledge of the image being nature and a tree. Adams effectively

includes texture in the image as the floor the roots are lying on can

be seen as being lumpy or rough. This is a nice contrast compared

to the smoothness of the tree roots. What first attracted me to this

photo is how when you look at the image, your eyes move up with

First Photographer Image 1: Ansel Adams ’Roots, Foster Gardens, Honolulu’ (1948)

the branches and invokes a

disturbing feeling within

you. The image makes me

feel slightly unsettled due

to the imagination of the

branches moving but this,

to me, is what makes the

image interesting and so

successful. This is one of

Adams rare images that

involves nature landscape.

The message Adams was

trying to convey was for

people to see underneath

the surface of humanity.

Analysis: This landscape photograph was taken by Ansel Adams

in 1944 in Sierra Nevada, California. This image depicts a field of

boulders in the foreground, leading to a dramatically lit view of

Mount Williamson in the background. To me, the most important

thing in the image is the light shining downwards onto the rocks.

This is because without this aspect I feel like the depth of field in

the image would not be as effective and the rocks in the fore

ground would not stand out as much against the mountains in the

background. The image has been toned to be fully black and white.

I feel this is effective because the light source appears brighter

more obvious piercing the clouds. What first attracted me to this

image is the light pointing to the rocks on the ground. I think the

way the light almost glides down the centre of the two rocks in the

background makes the image much more interesting. I think the

setting of the image creates a very warm atmosphere as it appears

to be in a desert type of surrounding, the black and white tones

don’t make this obvious however, which adds mystery to the mood.

First Photographer Image 2: Ansel Adams ‘Mount Williamson, Sierra Nevada, from

Manzanar’ (1944)

Analysis: This is one of Adams best known photographs. Taken in

1942 in northwest Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, the

photo showcases the beauty of the Teton Mountain Range and the

Snake River before it, and highlights Adams’ mastery of large

format photography and composition for landscapes. This iconic

landscape photography by Adams is one of the 115 images

included in the Voyager Golden Records — phonograph records

containing sounds and images showing life and culture on Earth —

which were included aboard Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977. the

most important thing in the photo is the river in the centre of the

photo. It is very effective as this is what drives your eye view up

toward the dark and cold mountains in the background of the

image. This photograph is realistic and had not been staged as it is

a real destination in the world, this adds to the images amazement.

Natural light of the sun has been used for the image as it has been

taken outside. The lighting is effective as it brightens the river in

the centre of the image, making the subject matter more apparent.

First Photographer Image 3: Ansel Adams ‘The Tetons and the Snake River’ (1942)

The photograph

has been toned to

be fully black and

white. The thing

that attracted me

to this image was

the dull clouds in

the background

with the effect of

the sun shining

through them, this

highlights the

dark mountains.

Second Photographer Name Alex Boyd

The second photographer I would like to study is Alex Boyd. Alex Boyd is a Scottish

photographer born in 1985 in Germany but soon moved to Ayrshire and became a

photographer.

Boyd’s most famous collection of work would be his ‘Sonnets of Scotland’ series he

began in 2007 which features landscape images from the most iconic locations in

Scotland. This series was also a collaboration with poet Edwin Morgan. Boyd is also

quite famous for his landscape images worked with Victorian processes such as wet-

plate collodian and photo-gravure.

Throughout his career as a photographer, Boyd has worked with some very influential

fellow photographers such as Rankin and Japanese master printer Takeshi Shikama

whom he trained under. In 2012 , Boyd was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Art.

His work is now in many galleries across the world including the National Gallery of

Scotland, The Royal Photographic Society , The Royal Scottish Academy as well as

other collections across the world.

In March 2012 Boyd appeared in a new BBC series and book on the history of

Victorian photography, and in 2013 with photographer Rankin talking about the work

of Hill & Adamson. In 2013 he was announced as the Royal Scottish Academy Artist in

Residence at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye. He is currently Artist in residence

for North Ayrshire, a role he will hold until late 2015.

Analysis: This image is set in Isle of Skye and Boyd explained

that his ‘Sonnet’ series was an attempt to question the depiction of

Scottish landscape and our relationship with it. He does this by

introducing a human element to the composition. In the foreground

of the image you can see the rocks from the isle with a human

standing on a rock while the background depicts the river,

mountains and the sky. Part of the image has been staged so that

the man is standing at the right place for the image to be taken. I

think the place the man is standing is effective because the

intelligent use of rule of thirds allows your eyes to begin where the

man is standing, then move upwards to where the mountains and

the sun in the image is in the direction the man would be looking

himself. The natural light source is very effective as it allows the

background to be very bright whereas the rocks in the foreground

are more muted. The lighting is also effective as the sun almost

bounces off of the rocks, making them very purple toned like the

sky. What first attracted me to this image is the beautiful colours

Boyd captured in the sky. This makes the image so interesting.

Second Photographer Image 1: Alex Boyd ‘Sonnets, The Cuilins from Elgol, Isle of Skye’

(2010)

Analysis: The foreground of the image includes the rocky shore

and the male figure standing in the water. The middle-ground

features the mountains and their reflection in the water while the

background illustrates the landscape of the sky. The realistic image

was taken in Loch Etive in Scotland and the most important feature

of the image is the male figure standing in the centre with his

reflection in the water as it almost splits the image in the centre,

drawing your eyes to the mountains reflection in the water. The

natural light source of the image allows the reflection in the water

to be brighter and sharper, permitting the sky to be shown in the

water instead of actually in the sky. The image has a limited depth

of field. I think this is effective in this specific image as the

landscape in the background is as important as the water in the fore

and middle-ground. What attracted me to this photograph was the

shapes created in the water reflection. The direction the man is

looking and the sloping down of the mountains direct you to the

landscape in the background.

Second Photographer Image 2: Alex Boyd ‘The Sonnets, Loch Etive’ (2015)

Analysis: The islands of the St Kilda archipelago is the most

remote part of the British Isles and lies 100 miles to the west of

mainland Scotland in the North Atlantic. The island is famous for

being masked in myth and romance. Boyd started his St Kilda

series in an attempt to change this perception of the island with a

series of images taken over many years. This image was taken at

the outskirts of the island and is what remains of a long extinct

volcano. In the foreground of the image you can see the water of

the Atlantic with the island in the middle-ground and sky in the

background. The most important thing the image is the jagged lined

island in the centre of the image. The gritted texture of the rock the

image has captured and the sharpness of the outline almost makes it

look tooth like which creates the unsettling atmosphere Boyd was

trying to achieve. The bright light coming from the background is

effective as it allows the volcanic rock in the centre to stand out

even more. The image has been toned black and white to add to the

melancholic mood of the image.

Second Photographer Image 3: Alex Boyd ‘St Kilda’ (Published-2017)

Genre Research: Landscape

In response to the assessment task “My World” it is my intention

to explore Landscape Photography.

Generally, Landscape photography is the capturing of an image

which illustrates a place in the world. However, when I explore

Landscape I anticipate to show the land I am photographing in a

very different way. I would like to illustrate a place in the world

but I would also hope to demonstrate what lies beneath that

place, as in if that place has a more devilish aspect to it that is not

clear at first impression.

Thinking about Landscape in historical times, Landscape was

originally used to fill the blank space behind a person or scene by

painters or artists. However as art and photography has evolved,

the background of an image has grown to have artistic value and

just as much importance as the foreground. Today Landscape

photography has become a very popular genre.

I feel like Landscape photography is very important because it

captures the scenery that people would normally miss or not

appreciate fully.

Style Research : Composition and light

I have chosen to explore the style of Composition and Light. In

Photography, lighting is one of the most important aspects of

creating a good image, and along with a good composition, the

images are going to be a lot more effective and tell a better story.

I think lighting is a good way to set the mood of an image and

create any kind of emotion and atmosphere be it positive or

negative.

Along with the correct camera settings, it is simple to get a good

soft or sharp light for images but it is even more effective for

landscape when the lighting is natural and coming from the sky.

Lighting is what allows an image to come to life by creating

highlights and shadows , making an image never look flat or

uninteresting.

When it comes to composition, using the rule of thirds is the most

effective way to achieve the best image compositionally and take a

successful photograph.

I hope that I can use both Composition and light effectively in my

images.

Genre/Style Mood Board

I like how the colours of the

sky are vivid and bright in this

image.

I think

the depth

of field in

this is

very

effective.

I like the

camera

view

also.

I like how

the

background

is sharper

than the

foreground

in this

image.

I like how

close the

view is.

The branches in this image look

very disfigured and scary which I

like.

The light source in this image

really brings it to life.

I am attracted to how there

is a figure in this image but

the landscape is still the

main focus. I like

how

this

image

takes

something

beautiful

and

makes it

look

more

deadly

with

the

tones.

Analysis: Edward Weston-

‘Cabbage Leaf’ 1931 The image has been manipulated to not

look like a cabbage at first glance but

rather a piece of fabric or sand. The

image has been toned so that it is black

and white, adding to the non realistic

look. What attracted me to this photo

was that the cabbage has been

photographed to look like something else

which is what I hope to achieve.

Analysis: Richard Gaston-

‘Bowling Ball Beach’ 2015

The foreground features the pebbles

on the ground while the middle and

background features the sky. The

slow shutter speed allows the

movement of the water to be evident

in the image. I like this photo as it

makes me feel calm. The rocks

remind me of massage pebbles.

Analysis: Max Rive- ‘Blinded’

2015

The foreground features Rive standing

on a rock with the middle ground the

sunlight and the mountains. I like the

sunlight in this image as I think it is

very effective in landscape

photography. It is something I would

light to achieve in my photos.

What

Why

Where

Who

How

My plan of action:

I have chosen to explore emotions in this project. I want to be able to take images in the same location but highlight different emotions from it each time. Almost like

illustrating different identities. I chose this brief as I believe, no matter what it is, there are always different personalities hidden underneath or within something you just have

to look carefully. I will be exploring three main emotions in a specific location: Calmness, Fear, and Joy.

I have looked at the work of Edward Weston and feel like he effectively uses shape in his landscape images and creates interesting illusions of things looking like something

else that its actually not. I like the way he looks at perspective and this is something I would like to achieve in my shoots.

A photographer I have studied in detail is Ansel Adams. I am interested in the striking way he takes nature and makes it look almost deadly instead of beautiful. He

creates such vivid atmospheres in his photography and this is something I would like to try and mimic in my photography.

I intend to do 3 Photo-shoots.

I plan to head to Calder Glenn country park in Eastkilbride for all three of my

photoshoots . I have decided to do this as I aim to reveal different personalities and atmospheres the park has that may not be noticed at first. My first shoot will focus on how the park has a sense of calmness within it and how people can go there to relax

and feel safe. My second shoot will show a deeper side of the park that’s not first obvious. A side that you should show fear towards. I think everything has a dark side that is why I wanted to do this. Finally, my third shoot will focus on the happiness and

joy of the park including how it is a cheerful place to spend time in.

In my first shoot I plan to use the sky to create the calming atmosphere. I think this

will work because of how peaceful the sky in autumn time is due to the colours and possible clouds there is. So that I get the colours in the sky I plan to go in the evening so

its not too bright or dark. I am also aware of the statues in the park which I plan to maybe use in the shoot.

For my second shoot I plan to find a place in the park that looks a bit unnatural and could possibly be manipulated to look like something it is not and show a darkness that the park has. I aim to look for strange branches or trees in the park the I can use. I would like to capture shots of the branches crawling up and going out of the image. I believe

this will create a nice creepy shot. For my final shoot I plan to make the park look more light-hearted by capturing images somewhere bright and cheery. I hope to do this by taking images in the part of the park

where people like children go to have fun in the swing park. I think the look of the sun in the images will effectively create this joyful atmosphere to highlight the parks goodness.

this shoot I aim to create

images that highlight the

Buildings CalderGlenn Country Park

East Kilbride Rugby Field/Zoo

Props/ Equipment I will use a wide angle lens so that I am able to photograph a large scene

which will allow me to crop whatever is unnecessary in the image during post production.

There is an interesting statue at the location I plan to shoot which could be used as an effective prop for the

shoot.

Landscape I have chosen to do Landscape because

I think it is important to demonstrate the nature of our surroundings and reveal what is hidden within them.

Composition & Light Composition in a landscape image is

very important because there are always vital sections that should be the focused on. Good lighting adds interest

to the images.

I will undertake the shoot in CalderGlenn country park as there are many interesting

places in this big park. Because it is a beloved

location in East Kilbride I would like to try reveal the different personality sides that I think the park has. For

this shoot I will be highlighting what everyone already thinks of the park, that it is a calming and beautiful place.

I will use a DSLR camera I will use a wide angle lens so that I am able

to capture as much as the landscape as possible to create an effective image.

I will not be using any unnatural light sources as I want the sky to look as pure in the image

as possible.

I would like my images to feature the ‘becoming the subject’ view as I want my photographs to illustrate what someone would see if they were standing where I

was standing. I will also experiment with a standard eye view to see if there are any

effective images. I aim to have my composition include a feature that adds direction in the image

and draws your eyes through to somewhere else.

this shoot I plan to highlight

the darker side of the country

park by turning a place that

looks innocent into

something more off-putting

with the use of the camera. I

hope that I am able to find

somewhere in the park that I

can turn darker even though

it looks beautiful at first. I

think this contributes to my

idea that not everything is as

it seems at first and

everything, no matter what it

is, has multiple sides to it.

Hopefully this idea is clear in

the shoot.


East Kilbride Forest Trail

Props/ Equipment I will us a wide angle lens as it will allow me to zoom effectively in and out as I please. Also so I can create successful blurs in the background

and focus in the foreground. I do not plan to use any kind of

unnatural light source.

I will undertake the shoot in CalderGlenn country park also. In this shoot, as I as I am trying to reveal the different

personality sides that I think the park has, I will be focusing on the darker sides of the park. Amidst

one of the park trails there is a section I find

very intriguing as it looks quite creepy. This would

not be clear in daylight so I am going to try and show the area as the

scary way it is using the camera.

I will use a DSLR camera I will use a wide angle lens so I am able to

create effective blur in the background. I will not be using any kind of unnatural light

source.

I would like my images to stay with an eye level view as I feel this is the most effective way to interact with an image

and connect to it as it is what you would see if you were there. As in want this

shoot to show a dark side I think an eye level view will be the most effective way

to invoke this feeling of darkness. I would like the composition to be close

up in the foreground with the middle and background creating an almost trail so its like the image is travelling somewhere.

East Kilbride Play Park

Props/ Equipment I will use a wide angle lens so that I can effectively create a large depth of field in the images to effectively include the landscape in the middle

or background. As I want to create an up-beat atmosphere, I plan to use the

natural light source of the sun to contribute to this.

I will undertake the shoot in CalderGlenn Country park like my

previous shoots as I am trying to achieve

another emotion from the park. I will focus on

the children's park where there is sand as

I think this will highlight a clear

I will not be using an unnatural light source but if necessary I will experiment with a flash

to try achieve the brightness I want in the images.

I would like my image perspective to come from a Bugs-Eye view point as I would like the foreground to be almost in the sand

where a bug would lay. I would also like to experiment with the ‘becoming the person’

view as I am going to try create a large depth of field in the image that would

represent this view. For the composition of the images I am going

to focus on having the light and the sky in the background with the buildings or trees

in the foreground.

Brief Evaluation of my top 6 images for Part A:

The depth of field in this image is very effective and the leaf in the foreground has been captured very

sharply adding to the overall effect. I like the dullness of the background as it almost creates a morbid

atmosphere for the leafs surroundings.

The Composition in this image is very effective. The position of the figure in the bottom left third directs

the eyes across the image to the beautiful sky on the right. The darkness of the trees and the figure makes

the sky stand out even more in the image.

This image is effective as the depth of field creates a blur background with a focused foreground which is

successful in the image. I like the green colours of the image, almost makes it look very alive and full of

nature.

This image is effective as it almost looks like the start of a path the images takes our eyes through which I

like as it tells somewhat of a story. I like how the branches crawl out the way instead of inward in the

image.

With this image I like that the sun is shining down the photo , this brings the happy mood I was hoping for in the image. The building in the centre helps add another

element and keep the image interesting.

I like the orange colour in the tree, it makes the image more vibrant and life like. The blue in the sky also

creates this effect. The use of rule of thirds with the tree makes the composition effective.

Original

Edit

Technical info:

Final Image

The lighting is quite soft in this image as it graduates very easy into the

clouds from the bottom right corner. I used rule of thirds in this image so that the statue would sit in a position where

it would direct your eyes across the image. This is effective as it makes

every part of the image interesting. I used a standard lens and wanted the focus to be on the statue as this is

what I wanted to be a main view point of the landscape. I kept the aperture at a low setting so that focus would be in the foreground, the depth of field isn’t that extreme in the image however. The shutter speed was at a normal

setting but I dot think my image was effected at all as there was no

movement. I purposefully kept the ISO low so that the brightness remained in

the sky with the statue and trees having more of just a silhouette .

Original

Edit

Technical info:

Final Image

The lighting in the image is quite transmitted and comes in from the

background making the foreground a bit darker. I used natural lighting to

have a legitimate effect. Rule of thirds has been used to an extent as I

wanted to have a path looking section up the centre and branches moving outward. I used a standard lens and

wanted the focus to be in the foreground where the branches are. I

used manual focus so that I could control this happening. The aperture of the image is low so that the depth of

field could be quite large with an effective background blur. My shutter

speed was again average as there was no movement in the image so I did not want this to have an effect. I kept the ISO low so that the natural light would be highlighted in the background with

a darker foreground.

Original

Edit

Technical info: The lighting in the image is very sharp and hard. I think this adds to the effect

of the landscape as a happy image. The lighting effects the composition as I have used the rule of thirds to edit the lighting strokes down the left side going downward. The lighting in the image is natural so

that I could achieve this type of lighting. I used a standard lens and wanted the focus to be on the light shining in the foreground. I kept the aperture lower in an attempt to create a large depth of field, however, this was now fully achieved but I still think the effect with the lights is effective. I set the

shutter speed to a quick setting so that I was able to get the effect with the sunlight. I set the ISO to 100 to that I was able to get the details of the sky in the background and to keep all the brightness with

the sunlight. This has allowed the image to be more clear and sharp.

Final Image

‘Calm’

Photograph Evaluation •I think a strength to this image is the composition that I chose. The position the man is in and direction he is facing lines up with the sky which makes your eyes

move across the image with him. •An opportunity for improvement in the image could have been that I could have set a smaller aperture on the camera so that I could have created a larger depth of field. I also could have planned to do my photoshoot on a clearer night so that

there was more colour in the sky than clouds. •A technical decision I would have changed was that I would have used a wider lens so that I could have included more length to my landscape and make the

image horizontally longer.

‘Fear’

Photograph Evaluation •A strength to this image is that I was able to get a good depth of field with the

foreground being in focus against the background. I think this added to the effect of a dangerous path in the image.

•An opportunity for improvement in the image could be that I could have included more of the sky in the background rather than the trees. This would have allowed

the branches to stand out more against the bright sky. •A creative choice I would have changed is that I would have used a flash in the images so that the foreground would be bright and gradually get darker into the

background making the park look even more dangerous.

‘Joy’

Photograph Evaluation •A strength to this image is the lighting and how I achieved the shine coming down the image. I think this completes the feeling of joy in the image I was

aiming to grasp. I also think the way I have cropped the image is effective as it adds greater impact to the shine coming down the image as it stands out more.

•An opportunity for improvement in the image could be that I could have positioned the camera less slanted so the building in the background was

straighter or I could have fixed this problem during editing. •A creative choice I would have changed is that I could have experimented with a slower shutter speed so that I could have achieved a sense of movement with the

sun shining down.
