My individual pathway
for my individual pathway i will produce a series of photographs aswell as a webvideo , the images will be relating to atibas work contrasting peace and action resulting in 2 photos on one canvas showing sport and relaxing in the place the sport happens. the video will relate to mike king and attempt to use the techniques he does of self filming angles and little slowmotion effects. all photos used will be action shots showing the relationship between riding and the lifestyle and the difference between bmxing in streets and bmxing in skateparks.
projection photographs
after takeing the photographs from brick lane i chose my favourite and projected it first onto a white which gave a nice dark feel to the piece as it was onto the white wall. Then the second piece was in a corner of the wall and the piece is shared between the two wall .
this the corner is my favourite of the ones i took, projecting photographs was a new technique for me and was fun to experiment with. The reason this corner piece was my favourite was because it divides the photo and if the lighting was different could share the feel of the piece giving it a mixture.

Artist Analysis
Sharon Elphic analysis;
Sharon Elphick is a contemporary textile designer who produces modern day patterns usualy on a blank white page or canvas abd hasnt realy been seen to use other backgrounds unless the page is filled completely with photographs.Her ol;der pieces mainly uses patterns she found inand around London,and various other parts of the globe. Her latest pieces focus on modern day life where she looks for uncommon things like: graffiti, along with other markings from roads, pavements, buildings which arnt commonly seen and are special.
This is my Elphic inspired piece i used a basic circle frame for each of the 9 photos, i like the way it came out as it shows a difference in trends and expression aswell as a variation of photos some blured some close up etcetera. even tho i dont think i will use this technique on a reguler basis it was good to see something new that isnt seen often and to attempt to work in the style of somebody else ment i had to use images that worked together without a major difference in size and colour.

brick lane photographs
we took a trip to brick lane and that general area of london, with the theme of street photography and lso a topic of blured motion i captured the below images. brick lane itself realy shows a different culture to london all virtualy down the one lane so for a theme of street photography its realy good to find difference and similaritie mixed together and for such an iconic area in london i personaly found it hard to see why its so profound among people but it made for great street photography.
this photograph was probly my favourite of the ones i took, the story behind it is my friend asked her if we could take her photo mainly because she seemed very intresting and 'trendy' she had a certain feel about her that we didnt see anywhere else in the day so when she declined to have her photo taken i chose to photograph her as she left along the road. to me the photo is elgant and represents a stereotype of blonde people tall good looking and fasion orientated. when takeing the photo i chosse not to use a flash as it would alert her and a high apreture would make for a lower lighting.
this photo i felt captured that difference i spoke about earlier the fact of the culture being very different more similer to that in asia, this photo is of a fabric merchant who made sari's he had an open shop with huge amounts of fabrics and textures to work with and the buyer would choose out of these and he would make the piece for them. there was alot of light in the room so a flash wasnt needed and the natural light gives the piece a warm welcoming feel.
this photograph is of general people going about there daily travel in londons liverpool street station. i especialy liked the way the orange lights on the board highlight the area of the photo and how it shows the station at one of its busyiest time.the architecture in the celing also leads the eyes around the photo and helps you to notice the colour especialy in the top building which wouldnt be seen without it.

hornchurch photography
Hornchurch Street Photography (HSP). We took a trip in to hornchurch town center to take street photography although hornchurch isn't as big as somewhere like London are thoughts were only limited by our ideas. when exploring hornchurch we came across a local park but unlike other parks Ive seen it was rich in nature and turned from a general park into a manor. the light that reflected of the trees water and building itself made for really interesting photographs and as the sun set it gave a different feel on the place. i also took photos throughout the town as you can see above from family's shopping to an artistic hidden corner where graffiti produced a piece that was truly a pleasure to look at.
Artist Analysis
Raymond Depardon; street photographer
from what i have researched he mainly produces black and white photos using a range of shadows some bold others light i like this type of phography because the viewer decides what type of mood the photo represents because with no direct colour a mood isnt instantly set. aswell as this i like the way he uses humour and relaxasion in some and dark and scary in others and also a mixture of weird and typial photography. His pieces are realy detailed and have a lot going on in them usualy and usues harizons and architexture to produce sunsets and deeper shades.
in photos with such details colour often distracts the viewer from the point the photographers trying to get across in this photo in particuler you focus on the parts that you are intrested in and find thing out about the piece which in some cases hides those things and this makes his work unique and intresting.
I dont really understand this photograph much it dosnt give any direct feel to it and takes several seconds to look at it enough to realise whats going on and although its a quite empty frame it still interest me for reason i am unsure about it leaves the viewer to make up their mind even when not looking at the piece

Street Photography
The next project was street photography.
Definition of street photography; Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions and other settings.
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.
i was extremely intresested in this project as it relates to alot of things close to me. When looking at street photography in general there theme itself spreads over a a huge range of topics from street art to general people. my aim is to produce a range of photos on several different subjects each giving a concept to street photography.
